Teerpad
Teerpad (Afrikaans for Tar Road) is a four piece Afrikaans Rock Band from the beautiful town of Tzaneen in the Limpopo province of South Africa. The band was formed in February 2008, when four friends wanted to bring something new to the social scene of their small town.
The initial focus of the band was to perform as a cover band in the local clubs and pubs, but that soon changed when they won a local music competition with one of their original songs. A new mission was born and the members decided to pursue the idea of playing music professionally. Teerpad grew into a strong and tight unit, ready to enter the music industry.
After a successful 2008 in Tzaneen, Teerpad decided to make the move to Johannesburg in January 2009 leaving their full time jobs to become full time musicians in the city. Since their arrival in Joburg, Teerpad has been going from strength to strength, leaving their mark wherever they perform and leaving the crowds begging for more.
Since January they have played more than 70 shows including trips to Richards Bay, Oudtshoorn, Potchefstroom, Ermelo, Bloemfontein, Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Heidelberg, Ellisras, Tzaneen, Parys and Meyerton. Teerpad has also performed with a host of well known artists including Straatligkinders, Ef-El, Van Coke Cartel, Glaskas, Dozi, Theuns Jordaan, Tuin Dwergies and Mango Groove.
