Since they
first burst out of Witbank some 11 years ago, Prime Circle’s career has been an
inspiration that has spawned hundreds of garage bands across South Africa, with
starry-eyed young rockers hoping that one day, they might make it big the way
Ross Learmonth, Dirk Bisschoff, Marco Gomes, Neil Breytenbach and Dale
Schnettler did.
Their 2003
debut, “Hello Crazy World”, rocketed to gold status in South Africa, with “Live
This Life” (their 2005 follow-up following suit). Singles such as “Hello”,
“Live This Life” and “My Inspiration” earned heavy rotation on South African
radio. 2008 saw Prime Circle release “All or Nothing” which raked in the first
two Prime Circle South African Music Award nominations of their career, for
Record of the Year and Best Rock Album (English). To date, the first single
“She Always Gets What She Wants” has received over 789 000 YouTube hits - the
most-viewed South African rock song ever.
“Jekyll &
Hyde”, unleashed in 2010, was mixed in Los Angeles by Kevin Shirley. New
York-based Sterling Sound mastering engineer George Marino laid the final
touches. The first two singles from the album “Breathing” and “Turning in My
Sleep” were each nominated for the SAMA for MTN Record of the Year in 2011. In
March 2011, Prime Circle won the Best International Breakthrough Act at the MK
Awards. The band released their fifth studio album, “Evidence” in September
2012.
The first single “Time Kills Us All”, debuted on regional and national
radio in South Africa to widespread acclaim. The 13-track album features the
masterful recording wizardry of Theo Crous. In May 2014, Prime Circle released
their 6th album, ‘Let The Night In’ before embarking on one of their biggest
European and South African tours. Says Ross Learmonth, “Without the fans, we
would be nothing. And I don’t ever want to do anything else. Creating music for
a living is a privilege, and we never forget that.” Prime Circle are: Ross
Learmonth (vocals and guitar); Marco Gomes (bass); Dale Schnettler (drums);
Neil Breytenbach (keyboard) and Dirk Bisschoff (guitar).
