Multi-Instrumental Folk-Pop Duo Bottomless Coffee Band on tour in SA to introduce new album “Anthelia.”
Upcoming shows: KKNK Oudtshoorn, George, Bloemfontein, Bethlehem, Ermelo, Pretoria, Potchefstroom.
Multi-Instrumental Folk-Pop Duo Bottomless Coffee Band has steadily been making waves in the SA Music Industry and fans will be delighted with the news that their second full length album “Anthelia”
was released in February 2018. The band takes a more flavored turn with this new offering and the album consists of 11 brand new tracks. Lourens and Esté Rabé of BCB says that the aim was to make a diverse album, while maintaining the ethos of the band. They have carefully conjured up songs that stay true to their aim to “create a feel-good vibe with a strong message”. It includes gutsy social political songs with unique local flavor, crowd-favorite power ballads and goose-bump love songs. The sound is a combination of folk-pop and rock with hints of classical tones. They have even included one or two surprises for Afrikaans fans.
They have played an average of 150 shows per year since the release of their debut album “Room With A View” in 2015. The successful release lead to the couple both leaving their corporate careers to “take the leap of faith” and build a career in full-time music.
What makes their shows unusual is that Lourens and Esté, apart from the vocals, play up to 12 instruments between the two of them during their live shows.
In 2015 they became the first South African owners of a Farmer Footdrum kit. This is a custom built drum kit manufactured in the USA. It has seven pedals, which allows Lourens to play all the beats with two feet.
The album name, “Anthelia”, is inspired by the title track that captures the essence of what the album has to say. It means: “The ability to see angels”. The duo translates this into their own interpretation: “The ability to see beauty in everything and everyone around us.”
