There are several bands using this name: 1. Lithium was a Swedish electronic industrial band formed by Johnny Hagel(previously in bands like Tiamat and Sundown), and Carl Nilsson(previously in Moth). They released their album Cold in 2002 which met with moderate success and tours to follow, including performances at festivals like M'era Luna.
Work commenced in 2003 with a new album which was finished in 2004, but was never released due to problems with the record label, finally leading to the band being dropped altogether and disbanding shortly thereafter.

Humanizer AKA Paul Ressel, electronic hero from the well known Cape Town group, Lark. "Taking strands from 8 bit to baroque, his performances feature acoustic instruments such as harpsichords and guitar blended into crunchy tones from consoles like atari and nintendo."
Ladysmith Black Mambazo, which was formed 1960 in Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, have come to represent the traditional culture of South Africa. They are regarded as South Africa's cultural emissaries at home and around the world. They are a national treasure of the new South Africa in part because they embody the traditions suppressed in the old South Africa.
It has been almost twenty years since Paul Simon made his initial trip to South Africa and met Joseph Shabalala, and the other members of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, in a recording studio in Johannesburg.

(1)Candice Hillebrand is a well known South African television personality, actress, model and now rocker. Candice started her music career in 2000 and her debut album Chasing Your Tomorrows was released in 2003. She is, perhaps, best known for her hit Hello although a couple of her songs - notably It's the Music - were big hits on regional and campus radio stations in South Africa. The lyrics of most of the songs on her album were self written and are surprisingly honest. Other songs were either written or co-written by Clive Young, Chrissie Amphlett and Shelly Peiken.
