YelloFlag
YellowFlag was formed in 2009. It consists of four members, Victor Twigge (lead vocalist, rhythm), Cornel Viljoen (lead guitarist), Konrad Nieuwenhuizen (bass guitarist) and Reino Jonker (drums) who all live in the East Rand of Gauteng, South Africa. The name Yellowflag has political undertones. Apartheid [] changed the lives of every South African. The band members believe that no one should raise a red flag declare war, but a white flag that signifies cowardice shouldn't be raised either. All people have the right to their own culture and voice and as a country we should rather walk in a new direction. The yellow flag symbolizes an alternative solution to fighting and compromising. The original lyrics and sound echo the opinions of the musicians and is filled with youthful aspirations and troubles which can be heard on Myspace. Above all these four visionaries have become close friends and they have grown into a balanced kaleidoscope of sound.
