8:30 pm The Name On The Drum

“The Name On The Drum” is an alternative rock, folk and indie band that focuses on playing original music but they also insert a variety of covers into their live shows. Ranging their sound from full electric to simple acoustics, “The Name On The Drum” uses all the tools at their disposal to create a unique blend of honest, thought provoking song-writing with absorbing musical performances.

With influences that include, Rise Against, Bob Dylan, Frightened Rabbit, The National, Angus & Julia Stone and Gregory Alan Isakov, their song writing also creates awareness of current world issues.

When the band was formed in 2011 the plan was to have a different ‘name on the drum’ at each performance, now they simply go by “The Name On The Drum” or “TNOTD”. Current performing members are brothers Ben and Nat Bruzas. Who, in July 2019 released their independently recorded and produced second EP “Souvenirs”. They are based in Hillcrest and have played extensively around KZN, as well as touring Gauteng and the Eastern Cape.
