Lonehill Estate
I know I’ve posted about Lonehill estate before, a new Local Band. I really think they have some great potential, and had to share some more info on them. So here is a bit of a run down:
Lonehill Estate was formed in the Johannesburg Summer of 2003 when musicians Jonathan Ross and Brett Beverley (who had previously played together with Spilt Milk) joined the remnant of Cracked Plastic to form a new band. In 2004 Front man Gus Doyle had to pull out of the band due to another calling and with Brett overseas the band found itself down to two members. Around this time Jono entered the reality competition ..Project Fame Africa.. and quickly developed a following thanks to his antics in the house – and his sheer musical talent. Jono eventually came in second, securing a record deal with Sony BMG Africa.
