Spoegwolf

The members of Spoegwolf began playing music together while they were still in high school, and they eventually named themselves Ysterkoei and won several competitions, which eventually led to a recording contract with Paris Recording Studios. In 2012, they changed their name to Spoegwolf and the same year, released their debut album, Swaartekrag.[3][2]

The group followed up with Somer in 2015, which contains the song "Glenda", a reference to South African stripper, activist, and teacher Glenda Kemp.[4] The record was named Best Alternative Album at the annual Ghoema Music Awards.

Their next album, Die Donker Toring, was released in 2017.[5]

In 2019, Spoegwolf issued their fourth studio album, Koma.[6] The record was well received, and the band became the first Afrikaans music group to occupy the number one spot on the Apple Music charts in South Africa.[7][2] Also in 2019, the group teamed up with fellow South African rocker Francois Van Coke on "Dagdrome in Suburbia", the title track from his 2019 studio album.[8]

2020 saw the release of two albums, See[9] and Wind.[10] In 2021, Spoegwolf again issued two records, both EPs: Groen[11] and Silwer.[12]

In 2022, the group released the albums Droombrief and Dryf.

Aside from their work with the band, brothers Danie and Moskou du Toit run their own restaurant in the town of Stellenbosch.[1]

In conjunction with his musical work with the band, Danie has published three poetry books: Warmer Voor Die Tuimeldroer, Sterreval, and Die Tuin.
