The Mochines are a high-voltage rock'n'roll quartet from Cape Town, South Africa that deliver a dose of old-school hard rock ferocity. The boys have been decimating South Africa's ear drums since 2005. The guys have successfully finished two European tours raging Western Europeans in Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and France.
Their second full-length album, The Eagle Has Landed, released at the end of March, 2008, was recorded at Paris Studios in Fischhoek and features a new line-up: ex-LaDonnas frontman Ross Kersten (vox/guitars), Stefan de Witt (bass), JP Maré (guitars), and Patrick Magee (drums). JP, a classically trained musician, is the newest addition to the group and brings a new touch of rabble-rousing rock'n'roll riffs with him when The Mochines torch the stage. The album is studded with 11 new explosive songs that are laced with head-bopping powerpop to temper the aural phantasmagoria of throaty vocals and rampant guitars.
Album downloads can be purchased at www.rhythmrecords.co.za online and the band can be contacted at themochines@gmail.com.
'Hire the Losers' the first of the two full length records can be purchased at cargo-records.de on vinyl or cd, or ordered directly through the band at the site.
Stay tuned for more ROCK N ROLL from these guys live that will just about burn a hole through your souls!!!!!
ROCK ON Brothers and Sisters! ROCK ON!

Walking down the street A homeless man called my name for reasons unknown. I asked him what he wanted and like the whiskey flowing to my own throat, he wanted money.
I said to the guy what do I look like a money mochine?
He said no, but you know theres a band called The Mochines? I was like yeah, I know of them, they're good and I enjoy them, I partied with them in PE and it was wilder than Mufasa. He said ok well aint you special, to which I replied , no im not.
ok, the point of my entire story was pointless, because like last time, im playing a gig in 2 hours and im on the same boat we were on in PE, if not worse.
good to see you guys are comin back round a bout april... I you like me to arrange some shows again but with better conditions let me know. (on time) so I can look what I can do for you guys! maybe we can get our asses with you to france after some new harder, faster Dutch shows........
Hey Ross, It was nice to talk to you the other night,it's only been like a decade,huh! I am happy to hear how great your doing!Keep it up!! Anyway, you told me to check out two bands one was Jets...What was the other???
