PRETORIA-BASED INDIE BAND ZEBRA RELEASE NEW SINGLE TAXI LOVE THIS FRIDAY
Recently the Pretoria-based Indie Band Zebra broke the internet when they embarked on a mission to gain more Instagram followers. They undertook to keep streaming live on Instagram until they reached 2 000 followers (doing live busking and all sorts of fun challenges). This grabbed the attention of 5fm presenter Nick Hamman, who called Zebra and put them live on the spot on the afternoon drive show.
When Nick asked if the lads can play anything live, they stopped the vehicle and jammed the track Taxi Love live next to the road. Not only did Zebra get more than the planned 2 000 followers (within minutes), but the response to the song Taxi Love was absolutely overwhelming (with requests for the track streaming in for days).
Being a new track, Taxi Love is not available on the debut EP by Zebra (that was released back in March), so the lads got into Gemini AD Studios and recorded Taxi Love
Music & Lyrics by Siphe Mashigo, Wildre van Deventer & Nacho Steez (Justin Swartz)
