Flat Stanley back in Joburg

Having returned from a European tour in 2009, melodic rock band Flat Stanley will be appearing at The Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City Casino on 21 March, 2010 at 8.30pm.

The Cape Town-based group's two studio albums - 2004's “Of Secrets and Wine” and 2007's “Between 2wo Worlds” - have earned acclaim from critics and fans alike. In fact, Flat Stanley have enjoyed no fewer than six Top 10 radio hits off the two albums, including three number one songs on some of the country's biggest national radio stations. The band's single As I Am not only charted at number one on national radio, but was also licensed by MNET for use in one of its promo TV spots.

But it's on the stage in front of a live audience where Flat Stanley's songwriting and musicality truly shines. Headlining major music festivals to crowds ranging from 5000 to 20 000 has become a regular occurrence for the band. In the last few years, Flat Stanley has toured and shared the stage with bands such as Collective Soul, Metallica, Simple Plan, The Rasmus, Fat Boy Slim, Seether, Stereo MC's, Foreigner and, most recently, rock legends Counting Crows.

Tickets for the show are from R95 and can be booked through Computicket or the Lyric Theatre Box Office on +27 (0)11 248 5000. For more information, go to www.goldreefcitycasino.co.za.
