Coca-Cola Biltong – it makes you shake uncontrollably (Brrrr!) while still being proudly South African.
It was great, thanks. The development of the album started a while back, going in and out of studio until we perfected The Gruuv. We captured the true essence of The Lectric Order at Audio Culture, with the amazing Jaco Naudè. The process was quite an experience, as we got to work with one of our heroes on 1.5 of the tracks, Femi Koya.
It was all done in house, conceptualised by the Monks, illustrated by Duncan Potgieter and Gary Peacock. Each of the sigils you see on the album was created by their corresponding Monks, making it a true Lectric Monk production.
We have Six.

As, the Electric Monk from Douglas Adam’s novel: Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, we believe that anything and everything is possible, at the same time… even spelling.
The best thing about being a musician in South Africa is that anything is possible. The worst is that we are not making the most of what we have – especially looking at stage design and the live experience.
Guilt implies we feel wrong for certain music, we don’t. We love all good music. #lectriclove
The strong-arm emoji.
The Grand plan is only a step towards the next part of this adventure. We are bringing bigger, exciting things to the stage.
