HABIT TO have just unleashed their second album Boomerang Saturn!

Already the singles ‘Movin’ and ‘Space’ have been playlisted on various Radio Stations and the music video for the albums first single ‘R10.40’, is hitting TV screens nation wide!

The success of Boomerang Saturn demands an increasingly busy touring schedule for HABIT TO nationally and internationally! Right now the band is preparing for their 2012 International tour where they have been invited to play stages in: Abu Dhabi, Dubai (United Arab Emirates), Beijing, Shanghai & Yantai (China). – Proudly representing their home country South Africa and putting HABIT TO on the world map!

These three musos come together in one harmonious blend of New Age Rock. Having studied music at tertiary level, HABIT TO synchronise a thought process that digs deeper than the basics of song writing.

Formed in 2003, HABIT TO have built up a strong following around the country, winning over new fans with every gig. The band has also performed at most major festivals and shared stages with the likes of Prime Circle, The Parlotones, Goldfish, Fokofpolisiekar, Springbok Nude Girls and many many more.

In 2006 they won the Durban Battle of the Bands, which awarded them the studio time and funding they needed to produce their debut album, ‘Secrets to a Triangle’. This achievement also gained them huge popularity and opened up many opportunities.
The single “Cast In Stone” reached #1 on MFM charts & received extensive radio airplay on ECR, Radio 2000, Tuks FM, & others, while the music video for ‘Gratitude’ was put into rotation on Go TV, MK and MTV Base!

Following on the success of the previous album, HABIT TO unleashed their latest album Boomerang Saturn in 2011. This diverse album takes you on a journey through change and into triumph. Its intricate music digs deep and arrives at a “feel good, rock out, never give up” type attitude.

The Guilty Parties:
Chillie Stent (Vocals & Lead Guitar)
“Having a chick in the band that can rock out and come with some serious, face-melting guitar solos definitely helps HABIT TO stand out” – Sarona Reddy, Eish Magazine

Dang Wardell (Drums)
“Dale Wardell is a skilled and powerful force on the kit… Impressive any way you hear it” – Claire Angelique, Sunday Tribune

Andy Stent (Bass & Vocals: 2003 – 2011)
“brother and Bass player, backs (with) sonic assaults and verbal offerings on life and how it should be… (he) employs elements of artistic flair in their live shows.” – minimal mystic, South African Music

Al Meyer (Bass: 2011 – present)
It’s great to see a long-haired, sweaty and accomplished musician hit the stage with vigor and glory in his fingertips… we can only hope that they soon start getting the respect and national festival spots they deserve”. – Garage band dot com
