Put simply, The Parlotones are potentially South Africa’s biggest selling pop/rock act ever with 600,000+ albums sales worldwide. Catch them in Knysna for the full Rock experience on Saturday 28 December 2019 at Blend!
All the more impressive when you consider this has been achieved via independent record labels in just a few key markets. Double Platinum, Platinum and Gold Records saturate the band’s discography. Their live story is even more humbling having played live to over 2 million people in their career to date. Add to that the 1 Billion people that watched the band on TV as they opened the 2010 FIFA soccer World Cup, and you get a sense of this band’s success so far.
In 2003, The Parlotones self-released their first album, the raw Indie tinged 'Episoda’, an album which quickly compared their sound to bands like The Smiths and Coldplay. This Indie sound was the first of its kind in South Africa and quickly labeled The Parlotones as one of the freshest sounding bands on the scene, paving the way for their sophomore (and breakthrough album), which would cement their success and catapult them to the stars they are today.
