They have released 2 albums, had loads of radio play across South Africa, toured the UK in 2007 & 2008, played with Metallica, Simple Plan, Seether and Collective Soul at the Coca Cola Massive Mix. They have also played in major music festivals held in Cape Town, Durban, Natal Midlands and Mozambique.
Two high school friends, Edan Latz and Gary Wolno, began fooling around with a guitar and a few songs back in 2003. In five years, and two band members (Darryn Butcher and Theo Claassen) later, Sitter was one of Durban's most acclaimed bands.
The band has seen their music on the charts and airwaves on radio stations across the country, they've been featured in magazines and newspapers, and their energetic performances from Splashy Fen to the Mozambique Fest have built them a solid, devoted fan base. In 2007 they released their second album, “This Masquerade Called Life”, to a capacity crowd and rave reviews. Weeks later, they were personally hired to perform a 5 date tour across the UK - which went off spectacularly to enthusiastic audiences.
While many a rock story may have begun like theirs, not many have seen it rise so high so quickly. Sitter needed just two years before they tasted US chart success with songs from their debut album “Based on a True Story”. Their success is a testament to their work ethos and sheer dedication; all four still have their day jobs. "It's an expensive business" says lead vocalist and guitarist Edan, "And we don't have a record deal...we had to do everything on our own". IT specialists (Ted and Darryn), lawyer/banking consultant (Edan) and events coordinator (Gary) by day, Sitter are rockers once their working days end. Tiring yes, but the gamble has definitely paid off. In four years, despite day jobs to contend with and no record company to back them up - it was up to them to generate publicity, get play-listed and get the media's attention - they made enough money from gigs and CD sales to produce two albums, sparing no expense on the latter, released two music videos and hired media rottweiller Pedro Carlo as their manager.
