Author | Biografie van 'n Bende: Die storie van Fokofpolisiekar | 2011

They don’t need any introduction: Hunter, Wynand, Johnny, Francois and Jaco are the five members of the infamous punk rock band Fokofpolisiekar. This band has made waves in the press since their first stage appearance in 2003. Music critics were excited about this new Afrikaans sound, but the band members’ controversial statements often made bigger headlines.
Who are the people behind this brave band?
Some readers will be surprised to learn that most of the members became friends in a charismatic church, or that the band had thought out a marketing strategy before they had written any songs. Or that at one stage they could barely afford shampoo.
Those who are curious about their lifestyle can read about the house that the band lived in, called “The Barracks of Rebellion” and about the other groups like aKing and Die Heuwels Fantasties that were formed out of Fokofpolisiekar.
This is Fokofpolisiekar’s first authorised biography and reveals how five individuals became best friends and formed a world class band through blood, sweat and a few good business decisions.
