Fritz Blitz performs solo along with an acoustic guitar, for more intimate venues, nevertheless the beat of the drum is always welcomed with enormous fancy! 
In 2014 blitZind is back in the mother city for good, with his debut at the Barleycorn. 

​

Fritz and Colin met at an impromptu jam in September 2016 and immediately felt the energy surge. They jived and jolled to each others love for the rocky blues and yearned to get something off the ground.

In answer to their call, the music spirits sent them MJ Flandorp and saxy Bruce Faraday who popped out at another jam.

 

Fritz(Blitz..) on bass guitar writes some groovy songs and his speciality is the Afrikaans medium. Colin on rhythm and lead guitar prefers a more funky twist and also pens a few upbeat tunes.

Together they bring good music and great energy!
