Ruff Majik off to wreck Europe in August
Their newest album was released in April and we fell head over heels in love with Ruff Majik’s Elektrik Ram. Wrote a few weird lines about it, which you can read here: (review). So, you can be absolutely sure I shall not miss them hitting the Netherlands. Turns out, they’re playing my hometown together with Acid King! Another entity that released one of the best albums, Beyond Vision, of 2023 and which we mentioned back in February. (review) Two big hitters on one night levelling the Effenaar in Eindhoven. Hell yeah! Let’s see what kind of mess this will leave…

“A career album, and the sort that not
every career gets to feature.” – The Obelisk
"Ruff Majik once again push the
limits of their sound and come out with something so beautifully crazy that you
can’t help but fall in love with its quirkiness. Elektrik Ram is brilliantly
eclectic and is easily the most colourful chapter in the band’s already vivid
discography."
– Distorted Sound Magazine
"Ruff Majik continuing to prove why
they are in a league of their own and one of the brightest prospects of the
South African rock scene." - Games, Brrraaains & A

About Ruff Majik
The horned infant known as Ruff Majik
emerged from the primordial ooze when the band moved from the historical town
of Lydenburg in 2012 to the capital city of Pretoria, where they honed their
craft for a few years before finally entering the studio to record for the
first time. Now, with several EP’s and two lauded albums under their belt, not
to mention a megaton of local and international touring, they return with what
might be their defining work in the shape of ‘Elektrik Ram’.
Ruff Majik is Johni Holiday (vocals
& guitar), Cowboy Bez (guitar & vocals), Jimmy Glass (bass), and Steven
Bosman (drums), four horsemen of the feedback apocalypse who know what they
want to say and do it without apology.
