About Boabab

The band has a respectable following in South Africa, as the sound is something obscure, out of the ordinary and is usually appreciated by listeners of artists like Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, The Violent Femmes and The Killers.

" Interesting chord progressions and well versed lyrics about fundamental foundational ideas like chess computers, family men and shiny shoes."- Ed

It catches the inquisitive and the poetic at heart.

The debut album - Code 14 was launched in April 2006 with much success and received with acclaimed applause. The launch was held at The Foundry Fly Lounge, in Pretoria.

The band is working on the second, follow-up to the first release "Code14" at Montana Music & Media, and should be received by descerning music lovers as one of the more innovative and unique alternative indie rock albums yet.

The album is due to for completion in October/Novermber this year.
