WELCOME
to the home of BEDROCK, Namibia's favourite - and most enduring rock band.
The Namib
-
the World's oldest natural desert - is home to a number of this
planet's modern wonders. The prehistoric welwitschia plant, the
Bogenfels Arch, the Rotor Kamm meteorite crater and last, but by no means
least, BEDROCK! Whilst not quite as old as the others (despite the
senior members of the band edging towards it!), Bedrock shares
similar qualities , including their unavoidable presence, longevity,
distinguishing features and consistency. Like a dune of sand, the
band has old grains at the base providing stability and younger grains -
bustling with energy! - on
the surface. When the BEDROCK wind blows, these are the grains that
sweep up into your face, bringing your attention to the presence of
this musical landmark of the desert wastes. And they must be doing
something right for 2008 is the 14th year of the band's existence.
Throughout these years the band has achieved many "highs" and
endured as many "lows". They have set benchmarks for local
semi-professional bands and have explored waters not usually entered by
garage bands. CD releases, television appearances
locally as well as in Europe, victories in rock festivals, exploiting the
use of technology such as the Internet and always being ready to
innovate. That is what the band is all about! Most of all,
BEDROCK care about their supporters and friends. They knew from the
outset that, without this crucial element of success, they would be unlikely to
survive the trials and tribulations that more than a decade on the road - and, frequently off it!
- would present them with. BEDROCK has always remained humble and approachable, qualities which have
not only grown their circle of friends but retained their loyalty,
too. So, if you're new to the band have fun in exploring their
lives, music and sense of humour which abounds in huge quantities.
