Boo!

Boo! entered the South African music scene in October 1997, with their mind-bendingly weird, though deliciously consumable sound. The band describes their music as "Monki Punk", because it breaks away from the usual combination of bass, drums and guitar, and substitutes the guitar with brass and keyboard sounds. Discography:
-Banana Flava (live) (cassette) 1998
-Pineapple Flava (aka Monki Punk or Pynaple) February 1999
-The 3 Boo!dists December 1999

Goodluck

It’s funny really, that a band with so much talent would be called GoodLuck. Because it’s not really luck that’s got these three musos to where they are – igniting South African night skies with their jazzing beats- it’s more like a blend of serious sums of talent, plenty of soul and a helluva lot of passion. And their next plan? Taking over the dance floors of the world! And they’re not far off.

Teargas

There are at least 3 bands called Teargas.
1) Hardcore punk band from Brisbane, Australia (http://www.myspace.com/teargashc, http://www.teargashc.blogspot.com/). 2) A melodic rock / glam outfit from Melbourne, Australia. Broke up in 2008. 3) A vibrant, trendy, like-minded South African Hip Hop trio.
