Lets introduce the members

Female Vocals:
Beth Dörner (The Lady Beth)

The Lady Beth has been fronting bands for the past ten years.  Coming from humble beginnings, she has established herself as a competent and enthusiastic vocalist.  She has performed with artists and bands all over South Africa, "Crush" and "Celebration" to mention but a few, and is probably best remembered for fronting "Apricot Blue".  Holidaymakers will remember her from venues such as The Village Tavern, Bedford Inn and particularly Pistols where she entertained for well over a year.  Her passion for music is reflected in the songs she writes.

Male Vocals and Guitar:
Harry (The Matrix) Dörner

Probably the longest playing member of the group, The Matrix has been around for the past twenty odd years.  First as a solo artist and then with bands such as "Totally Addictive", "Odds & Ends", "Quest", "Muski"  "BIWRYITM", "Young at Heart" and then moving on to becoming a founding member of Stage Fright.  His first love is the bass, and you could hear his booming notes reverberate through the whole of Bruma.  As there is probably not a venue in Johannesburg and surrounding area that he has not played, we will not go into that.  He is competent with the Clarinet and keyboards and some would say he is Mr. Stage Fright.

Male Vocals and Guitar:
Vaughan (Olmeca) Klibbe

A new addition to the band, Olmeca has an impressive résumé.  Playing the South African circuit for the past ten years, he has appeared with bands such as "Black Eyed Susan", where he was the original bassist, and then moved on to guitar.  Later he joined "Static", where he gained a host of experience writing original material.  Patrons of Roxy Rhythm Bar, The Doors, Alcatraz and Kings Arms will probably recall his cutting solos.  Olmeca has also tried his hand at playing Saxophone, but he claims to be an amateur at best.

Male Vocals and Bass:
Marius Rompel (Muis)

Multitalented, Muis, is adept at   playing the guitar and keyboards.  From a musical family, he started playing the piano at age five, and had his first band as a teenager, where he found his niche as a guitarist.  In his early twenties he placed the music on the back burner for a while, and has recently decided to step back into the limelight.  New to the bass, a passion for the instrument and a sound knowledge of music, makes him an asset to any band.
