BIO:
Who are we?
Acoustic Liquid started off as a cover band and has since turned to original music. They have
been widely accepted as a band with outstanding vocals that stands out among others. A real
crowd pleaser who has a lot to offer. They have made waves in most of the SA battles in 2009
making it to the finals of both Klipdrift battle of the bands as well as the RBF finals (to be held in
October 2009).
Acoustic Liquid Originals encompass a wide variety of moods all wrapped up neatly in a package
that is both soothing and emotional. Westleys deep lyrics ensure that the vibe created in the
music is understood and appreciated by both young and old.
Band members history
Charles started playing drums in high school, and played for a couple of garage bands in his
school days. After moving to varsity he joined up with a band called "Till That Time". Front man
Logan left the band, and joined up with Cutting Jade. Charles moved on, and teamed up with a
very successful band called "The Case". After relocating to Johannesburg to start a new job, he
finally ended up with Torment. 1 Year Later he and Westley decided to form Acoustic Liquid to
showcase their other talents as musicians. Charles has successfully completed his 8 Grade in
music and Drums.
Westley started playing the piano at the age of 12. He then picked up the guitar and vocals 2
years later. After years of playing and composing he moved to the UK where he started a very
successful band called "Cryet". They toured SA, but it was short lived due to other responsibilities. He then returned to SA where he formed Torment. He never really gave up his
passion for acoustic music (after spending many years busking in pubs around the UK) and reformed Acoustic Liquid with Charles in 2005.

Deftones, Classical, Spanish music, Afrikaans, Rock, Pop and the Ice Cream Van tune.
