City of Gold



WONDERBOOM is a household name in South Africa and have maintained their popularity by non-stop touring – releasing six albums along the way. Tracks like the #1 smash Charlie, along with top ten hits Something Wrong, Africa, Never Ever, Green Fever etc made sure that all five (SAMA nominated) WONDERBOOM albums were represented on the All The Hits CD/DVD compilation, released at the end of 2005, bringing ' WONDERBOOM PHASE ONE' to a close. National tourswith Simple Minds and Live and headling every South African festival (sharing the stage with the likes of The Mission and Feeder) led to WONDERBOOM being constantly touted as S.A.’s hottest live act. CITO, MARTIN, DANNY AND WADE lived up to this claim in December 2004 when WONDERBOOM represented South Africa at the Global Battle of the Bands in London and finished second in a field of 16 bands from all over the world. Other accolades include added the prestigious “Kanna” award won at the 2005 Klein Karoo Kunstefees and People magazine’s “Best S.A. Band” Crystal Award in 2003. Early in 2006 vocalist Cito landed the lead role in the Pieter Torien production of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’. The five month break from live shows, along with the phenomenal success of the theatre production and the impact Cito has made in the role, has resulted in an unprecendented demand for WONDERBOOM. 'WONDERBOOM PHASE TWO’ begins with “City of Gold” an album released on the Sheer Sound indi label, is full of radio friendly singles sure to take the band’s already large following to massive proportions!
