Acoustic Liquid

 

BIO:

 

Westley Engelbrecht

 (Acoustic guitar & Vocals) and Charles Dubber (Acoustic, Hand & Electric Drums) formed Acoustic Liquid as a side project to their band Torment in 2005. This was a way to show the world that they could perform softer hits as well as vibey cover songs for the masses and not only their usual metal ensemble that they succeeded with in Torment.  On many occasions, Westley has performed as a solo act when Charles is not available and covers songs from the 60’s to present, encompassing softer hits from bands such as Fleetwood Mac & U2 to contemporary hits from Nirvana, Seether & Pink Floyd all the way through to foot stomping songs such as “blister in the sun” by Violent Femmes & “kryptonite“ by 3 doors down.

 

Band member’s 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 is currently working on his 8^th 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.
