On Saturday, February 25, three of my friends and I decided to go to the Cornetto Love Is In The Air music festival being held at Bloemendal Wine Estate in Durbanville. We were so excited and had been looking forward to it for the whole week prior to the actual event. I must admit the main reason we were so excited was to see Jax Panik perform live after we had witnessed their amazing talents at Synergy Live in November 2011.
After these two performances, I can safely say that Jax Panik has become my favourite South African group/act. They possess this stage presence that makes you want to jump around and dance all the time. They exude a crazy amount of energy that gets the crowd hyped up so that not one person is able to sit still.
Originally from Bellville, Cape Town, Jax Panik consisted of two members, Jacobus van Heerden and Johnny de Ridder. After starting out as a mock pop group, they changed their style to a more current and upbeat style of music, incorporating a dubstep/dance feel to it. Since then they have been performing live all over the country, entertaining fans with their energetic performances and unique style. Now consisting of three members, Jax Panik performs with a DJ (Deon van Zyl) who you will find behind the decks with a "I am Jax Panik" mask on to hide his identity.
Although their CD doesn't quite give you the feel as being at one of their live shows does, do not be discouraged. This is one group I would definitely recommend seeing as soon as you have the chance. Keeping my eyes and ears open for their next Cape Town performance!
