The SA-bred, LA-based Rockers are finally returning for their highly
anticipated 4-date, country-wide tour. Kicking off at Cape Town's Grand
Arena at Grand West Casino & Entertainment World on the 15th, the band
will then be performing at Johannesburg's Standard Bank Arena on the 16th,
Durban's Wave House on the 20th, and finally the Port Elizabeth's UPE
Indoor Sports Centre on the 21st. of June 2008.
The internationally acclaimed band, who last played here in 2006, with
Metallica, Collective Soul, Simple Plan and The Rasmus, head home at the
tail end of their extensive European tour, with highlight performances at
Germany's Rock am Ring Festival and England's Download Festival. "I love
coming back to SA to play shows. I always feel so proud walking out onto a
stage with SA fans in front of me. It's a different audience. It's very
powerful. It's very emotional performing back home. I love it," explained
front-man Shaun Morgan Welgemoed.

SEETHER won their first SAMA award earlier this month for Best Rock
Album, after their latest offering "Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces"
received nominations in three coveted categories (Best Rock Album, Best
Group/Duo, and Record of the Year). The album, easily their strongest and
most innovative one yet, displays the hard rockers' new outlook on life
and
music. The album's lead single, 'Fake It', hit the No.1 spot of 5fm, and
spent 34 weeks on the US charts, including 8 weeks at No.1, and remains in
the Top 20. 'Rise Above This', the latest single, is currently No.1 on
the
Modern Rock charts (9 weeks on!) and charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
