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 will be playing stages in: Abu Dhabi, Dubai (United Arab Emirates), Beijing, Shanghai & Yantai (China). – Putting their home town Durban, South Africa on the 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.

The recipe cooks up Vocals and face melting Guitar solo’s from Michelle “Chillie” Stent the leading lady. Dale “Dang” Wardell exists as the backbone and chief of the Drum kit; and Andy Stent’s Bass brings the trio down to earth to dish up the full course meal of musical madness.

Formed in 2003, HABIT TO have built up a strong following not only in Durban but 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’ received extensive radio airplay, 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.
