It all started on the 15th of June 2002 at a dingy strip bar in Bloemfontein: The Eager Beaver

The Homo had just lost his job in the Witbank coal mines and was forced to spend the night in Bloem after a car breakdown.

Kyle, the machine, was on a business trip. Emo Mawk was giving a love guru seminar in town and the DFG, who had recently

retired from his career in the German pornographic movie industry, happened to be on the final leg of his South African Sex Tour.

Anyway that evening all of them happened to be visiting the Eager Beaver. It didn't take them long to realize they had more in

common than their love of beer and boobies.

A week later, back in Cape Town, the guys got together for a Jam and it was awesome. A few songs were written in virtually no

time and the gigs, free booze and boobies started to roll in. Not even a year later the first album 'Bush, Bin Laden and my Mom's Naught'

was released. It was an instant success, more copies needed to printed and a few tours followed.

The excessive touring and partying soon caught the attention of Johannesburg based record label Red Ambulance. A deal was hammered

out in no time and Red Ambulance released the Half Price records ‘Taking Life Seriously" in 2004 and ‘Banned’ in 2006.

After numerous South African Tours Half Price decided that this was just not enough anymore. So Kyle called up some of his Namibian

‘Business’ contacts and the DFG some of his former German porn colleagues and swiftly Half Price moved into these new territories.

To date Half Price has no less than 25 national tours, 4 Namibian and 2 European tours under their belt including a spot at Berlin’s music

festival POPKOMM in 2006.

Currently the band is promoting their latest offering ‘The Monotony of Monogamy’ smut magazine and full length album. With over 3 years

in the making ‘The Monotony’ is lauded as the biggest DIY punk project South Africa has ever seen. More tours are to follow shortly and let’s

not forget that the Homo has previously worked in coal mines in the Americas and emo Mawk is a popular guest lecturer at the annual

Love Guru Conference in Osaka Japan….
