| General Information |
After 10 years in the South African gospel
industry, having released two chart topping albums,
coming in 2nd place in the Crescendo Competition (Jak
de Priester took 1st place), being nominated for a
Geraas award for Gospel Album of the Year 2002,
finishing in the Top Ten of the Zing competition and
being voted as one of the Top Ten New Songwriters by
Huisgenoot/Tempo in 2010. Singer/songwriter Liezel
Marshall teamed up with guitarist/rock producer
Dewald Pretorius who has worked with and recorded
some of South Africa's top acts (Cutting Jade,
Southern Gypsey Queens, Black Cat Bones, The
Metanoya Rockonfusion, Jak de Priester, Juanita du
Plessis, Mel Botes and Kurt Darren to name a few),
and formed The Something Project, an acoustic duo
playing original and cover music at various venues
throughout the Gauteng, Limpopo and North West
provinces.
After three months of gigging up
to 4 times a week, and shaping their original songs
into a more alternative/hard rock feel, Nelis du
Plessis (Campus of Performing Arts Drum Lecturer),
and Gerry du Plessis joined the band on drums and
bass respectively and a harder edge, modern rock
Simplehuman was formed. In a short time period,
Simplehuman changed from the opening/supporting act
to the headlining act, packing venues like Cafe
Barcelona and Schivas Rock in Pretoria. As well as
playing main slots at various fesitvals in Gauteng
and the North West with crowds up to 4000 people!
After months of constant gigging, playing up to 5
times a week, Simplehuman decided to take a break
and start working on their debut album, but due to
personal reasons, both Nelis and Gerry left the
band, and was quickly replaced by Andre Byleveld
(bass) and Steph Nortje (drums). It was then decided
to change the band name from Simplehuman to The
Liezel Marshall Band.
