About Don't Poke the Bear
Don’t Poke The Bear bring 10 years of lyrical day dreams and burning ambition to life, in raw live performances for audiences across South Africa. Now the band’s first EP offers a sample of their energy and carefully crafted sound as a 6 track contemporary rock, indie, soul and pop album.
In 2013, lead singer and frontman Daniel Marc Cowen and drummer Tammy Lee started performing original and cover songs on stages in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Playing an acoustic guitar, an old djembe and bongo drums, they shaped melodies with intense lyrics. As Don’t Poke The Bear they established a unique, yet recognizable style. Covers feature less and the original song list has grown, supported by the addition of a full drum kit and a third band member, bassist Adrian Ziller.
The band's first EP was recorded and produced by David Grevlar of Anti-Motion Studios. It showcases their song writing skills and depth of talent. Tracks offer a contrast of witty lyrics and playful melodies, together with raw vocal emotion. Over the years the band has refined these songs, however, you can still hear the passion and integrity that resonated with them from the start. The true vision of the songwriter remains.

Bass - Adrian Ziller
