Wynand Myburg, bassist, says, "When Francois van Coke and I started the band we wanted it to be more of a project and not a band with fixed members. When Jedd Kossew and Jason Oosthuizen joined the band it worked so well that they became full time members and we created what is regarded as our two best albums to date - Wie's Bang and Bloed, Sweet & Trane."
Van Coke, frontman, adds, "We have always been interested in mixing things up and moving forward in new directions. This was our intention for the project from the get-go, hence the word 'Kartel' in our name."
Hunts' band of the past ten years, Pestroy, is currently on a hiatus, so the timing is perfect for all involved.
"Dylan is a respected musician, great drummer and an awesome guy. We are very excited to start playing with him," concludes van Coke.
