Biography

Erens in die begin van hierdie nuwe eeu is ‘n band gebore in Johannesburg wat die

musiek van hul helde gemaak het, maar in Afrikaans. So is ruk en rol in hul taal gebore

en so het WYSDIMAN op die toneel verskyn. Na amper elke kuierplek in meestal

Johannesburg en Pretoria blootgestel was aan die energieke vertonings van WYSDIMAN

asook die uitreiking van 3 EP’s en ‘n album getiteld 2000 EN NAG, moes ‘n hoofstuk

beëindig word sodat ‘n nuwe een kon begin vir WYSDIMAN.

Somer 2011 het die uitrol gesien van die splinternuwe WYSDIMAN met Ruan Rabie (eks

Torment & March Against Me) op kitaar, Quintin ‘Q’ Bannink (eks Fragmented Children)

op 2de kitaar, Jacques ‘Chad’ Potgieter op baskitaar, Ray Harrison (eks Fragmented

Children & Unlisted) op dromme en nógsteeds Bruce Bleed op die mikrofoon.

Vir opwarming het WYSDIMAN o.a. die verhoog met Jack Parrow gedeel teen die einde

van 2011 asook in die finaal van die landwye jaarlikse Emerging Sounds Challenge

gespeel.

Met kraakvars nuwe nommers is WYSDIMAN terug om jou die anderkant van Rock in

Afrikaans te wys!

***

Somewhere, at the start of this new century, a band was born in Johannesburg which

made the music of their heroes, but in Afrikaans. Rock ‘n roll in the ‘Taal’ was born and

WYSDIMAN appeared on the scene. Over time almost every venue, mainly in

Johannesburg and Pretoria, were exposed to the energetic performances of WYSDIMAN

and 3 EP’s as well as an album entitled 2000 EN NAG were released. Then came the time

to close a chapter in order for a new one to begin for WYSDIMAN.

Summer 2011 saw the roll out of the brand new WYSDIMAN, with Ruan Rabie (ex

Torment & March Against Me) on guitar, Quintin ‘Q’ Bannink (ex Fragmented Children)

on 2nd guitar, Jacques ‘Chad’ Potgieter on bass guitar, Ray Harrison (Ex Fragmented

Children & Unlisted) on drums and still Bruce Bleed on the microphone.

As warm-up WYSDIMAN, amongst others, shared the stage with Jack Parrow at the end

of 2011 and also played in the final of the countrywide annual Emerging Sounds

Challenge.

With fresh, new songs, WYSDIMAN is back to show you the other side of Afrikaans Rock!
