The foot stomping, skirt lifting, shoulder popping musical bliss of Pretoria-based band December Streets has been caressing the ears of many since 2009. In 2010 the beat lyric combos of Tristan Coetzee (vocals and guitar) and Gideon Meyer (bass and sax) united with Afro-funk player Nico van Loggerenberg (lead guitar), the stick twirling Corneil Clasen (drums) and our very own SA born Satchmo, Waldo Boshoff (trumpet) to create the December Streets as you know them today. December Streets with their eclectic rhythms, slick beats, reggae/ska trumpet, symphonic trio of guitars and a voice to match is uniting genres and people alike. Their style ranges, but the catchy beat-lyric combos found in songs like ‘Fire through the Window’ and ‘Who Needs Shoes’ are signature. Their EP was recorded at Anti-Motion studios, featuring campus hits ‘Fire through the Window’ and ‘Who Needs Shoes’, which both reached the number one position on TuksFM’s Most Wanted and SA Top 10 charts. ‘My Name’, has been playlisted on 5FM, taking the number one spot on the Rock Chart and peaked at 16 on the international charts. December Streets continue to play at shows and festivals across the country.
