| Biography |
|
It’s another steaming Durban night, and you’re asking yourself what possessed you to leave the comfy couch and TV remote behind. It was the promise of the unpredictable, the chance to relive the madness of another night – the flash of revelation, the poignant conversation, the kiss that made you feel so far away, and the girl that got away. It’s the driving sound of overdriven guitars, the hypnotic bass line and the voices in harmony soaring above it all, which gives you that funny, nervous anticipation of the promise of another night of laughter and good times. Small Town Heroes, saving the world one gig at a time, are on stage and the night is young. Go make yourself some memories… SMALL TOWN HEROES a few). The band, formed in 2004 with the name “Silkworm” began recording material immediately. Silkworm soon became SMALL TOWN HEROES when it was discovered another overseas band of the same name existed.
