Big Concerts has confirmed that Joburg Eclectic Soul Trip group The Muffinz have been added to the line-up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert in Joburg only. They will perform along with Die Antwoord on Saturday 2nd February at the Soccer City Complex, FNB Stadium, Johannesburg.

The Muffinz began in 2010 when Mthae, Simz and Atomza met while singing in the University of Johannesburg choir. They decided to call themselves The Muffinz explains Mthae: ‘We wanted a name that would be remembered, something catchy but a name that people would want to find out more about. Plus, we all come from different backgrounds musically and so we all bring different ingredients – as in the ingredients in a muffin’.

By April 2011 Skabz and Keke had joined the band and they found a residency in the suburb of Melville. They released their debut album in May 2012 called ‘Have you Heard?’ produced by Robin Kohl, Tebogo Moloto and Leroy Croft. Their awards include the 2012 Standard Bank Ovation, the Feather Award for musicians of the year and the ImpACT award for music and singing.
