If you have been a regular reader of Eish!! One Day Remains will be well known to you. First featured on the 3rd April 2007 when they unwittingly burst onto the international independent media scene. Since then we have followed their path to becoming SA's premier hard rock outfit.
They are not yet, but with 'Sins, Convictions & Confessions,' their debut album about to hit the shelves and a track from this album 'Never say die' just having being chosen as the soundtrack to SuperSport's Vodacom Tri-Nations advertising campaign, they could be at the top very soon.

The video below is an acoustic version of the current single, 'The Need', that has garnered a fair amount of airplay on the local radio stations.

One Day Remains Live
On the 3rd of April I reported one how Cape Town band 'One Day Remains' burst onto the international new media scene, before they even played a live gig!
Now there is a chance to see them do just that, play live. If you are in Cape Town on the 30th September, make sure you make your way down to the Waterfront this will be a free concert. Get the word out!

A possible replacement for Guns N Roses?
I received the following email from Daniel of the band 'One Day Remains,' an awesome new rock and roll band I posted about on the 3rd of April : see post One Day RemainsTake a read, click on their Myspace page to give their music a listen, and should you feel it warrants it, start forwarding to your mates, as per their request.
Dear Eish,
You might know that Guns n Roses are NOT playing at CokeFest in Cape Town anymore.If you'd like new rock legends "One Day Remains" to be included on the Bill, then please forward this message to ALL your friends and let the power of numbers do it's thing.
O.D.R. is busy with a new video done by Grammy award winning production company.
Let's at least let people get some value for their money.
Check out what you can expect at:

Here's to South African music that can hold it's own against ANY international act.
Want to book the band for yourself? Make sure you have an event to be remembered for years come !
Booking enquiries: dwhvn@hotmail.com
Thanks,
Daniel van Niekerk
I haven't decided for myself whether or not this is something they should be pursuing. However, I do like the idea of this as a new media experiment. It will be interesting to see if there is enough online 'power' in SA to create sufficient pressure for something like a music festival lineup to be altered.
Having said that, if there is one band of musicians in SA which get the power of the web, blogosphere, new media, whatever you want to call it, it's 'One Day Remains'. So, as I said, if you agree with the idea and/or enjoy their music, start forwarding!

One day remains
The previous post "Big freaking deal!" was a purposeful precursor to today's main posting.
Here's a band that, in my humble opinion, "get" the new media revolution. Last week I heard them on Adam Curry's 'Daily Source Code' for the first time. He played it on recommendation from Jersey Todd from the US of A, who heard it after the band placed it on the Podsafe Music Network on the advice of Andrew Pavitt host of RockOutLoud in Oz.
Enough from me though. I sent them a couple of questions via email and got a quick and comprehensive reply from Daniel van Niekerk, the bass player. So here's some background on the band gleaned from that response. Take a read than mosey on down to their myspace page and enjoy some good old rock and roll!
Although only formed one and a half month ago there is a fair bit of pedigree in "One Day Remains." Bassist Daniel has been playing in various bands for many years, as has Michael Naranjo who is probably best known for his stint with "7-day Story" which played the title track on SABC's "Going Nowhere Slowly" and drummer Brett Palmer's biggest previous gig was with Benjamin Gate which enjoyed great success in the States a few years ago.
Yesterday I took delivery of my latest cd purchase. The artist? The Who. What relevance does this have when we are talking to a band who list such influences as Bon Jovi, Winger, Petra(one of my all time favourites), Pantera, Van Halen & White Snake?
You see, there is so little good, new rock and roll that I have been forced to start collecting albums from the classic bands of the past. "One Day Remains" believe this is a void they can fill. "We want to become the new standard of South African Rock. We offer something wholesome with some good solid lyrics."
And they are going to do it independently. "We believe in the whole Independent concept, and making sure artists get what is due to them. The 90% going to the label and maybe 5% going to the artists days are over. The traditional record industry is dying of an industry cancer. New media is the way to go....electronic, downloads...having the CHOICE of what to purchase." And why not, it sure as heck is working for them so far! They've had international airplay, are getting overseas tour leads, struggling to keep up with the incoming correspondence and they haven't played a single gig yet!!
Plans for the future? Their impending launch has been postponed due to the unexpected tsumani of interest but a tour of the States in the first quarter of 2008 is already being organised and they "have a few surprises up their sleeve," so keep checking their website. Hopefully we'll get to see them live soon!
In the meantime take a listen to the track below and click the link under the player to vote for them in the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands.
btw. Being new to the whole interview thing, I didn't get to ask them where the name "One day remains" come from. So keep and eye on the comments below. I am pretty sure they will fill us in.
