Commenting on the upcoming tour, Andrew Chaplin said: “I'm really amped about these two shows because they're going to be completely our shows, so we'll finally get to properly welcome people to Locnville”
Brian Chaplin added: “I can't wait to get these shows on the roll, as these are going to be the two biggest shows we've ever done. We're finally getting a chance to welcome people to our world”.
Zane Derbyshire presenter of 94.7 Highveld Stereo & 94.5 KFM’s Homebrew show said: “We’re very excited to see Locnville on the big stage showcasing their massive hit singles before they become global superstars. I’m proud that Homebrew discovered Locnville and that they have become the hottest act in South Africa”.
Locnville recently signed a worldwide deal with Sony Music International who are releasing their debut single and album in August 2010. Locnville were the “buzz act” at the Midem International Music Conference in Cannes in January 2010 which sparked huge international interest from major and independent labels around the world.
Locnville’s debut single & album, both entitled ‘Sun In My Pocket’, will be released around the world on Sony’s Jive Records imprint over the coming months, except in the United Kingdom where it will be released on Sony’s Epic Records imprint. Jive is the home to some of the world’s biggest recording artists including Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Usher and R Kelly. Epic is the home of Scouting For Girls, JLS, Paloma Faith & the No.1 selling Glee Soundtrack.
Locnville made South African chart history in the past few months by becoming the highest charting debut album ever from a local artist on the Musica Album charts. They also peaked at #1 on the official SA albums charts and reached Gold Status (20 000 units) in the first month of release. The album has now sold over 40 000 units (Platinum Status) in South Africa and is still Top 10 on the charts five months after it’s release.
