CUTTING JADE


The five-piece rock band Cutting Jade's first demo single was released on Radio Tuks in 1998 and reached number one on the station's SA Top 10 and number 10 on its Top 30. Cutting Jade became a popular feature in Pretoria, performing in night clubs and at Tuks University. They played at several music festivals and at the 5FM Birthday Bash. They have also performed a full live unplugged set on Kyknet's Draadloos.

Cutting Jade is included on the 5FM Showcase Unearthed Compilation. They have released their first full-length album So There We Were and are currently working on their second album. Their sound is sweet, smooth and funky and their lyrics deal sensitively with everyday topics like sex, love, relationships, drugs and faith.

The first single from So There We Were, 'She Says', was day-time play listed on 5FM and charted on the 5FM top 40. The song was selected from almost a thousand songs nationwide for the 5FM Showcase III Unearthed compilation.
