Durban – Afro Discoteque band Gazelle won over the audience - and the "applause o' meter" - at the second Red Bull Soundclash held in Durban on Friday.
Gazelle and Die Heuwels Fantasties were the opposing bands on the night.
Each band had their own stage and showcased their music, "refereed" by DJ Ready D and hosts Elma Smit (MK) and Siya (Vuzu).
In the warm up round, each band started with three of their own songs.
This was followed by the "Cover" (creative round) – DJ Ready D cut in Eddy Grant’s Electric Avenue and the bands covered the track in their own style.
In round two, the "Take Over" (spontaneous round), Gazelle and Die Heuwels Fantasties attempted to cover each other’s tracks.
In the "Sound Clash" (innovative) round, DJ Ready D chose hip hop, country, dubstep as the musical styles to tackle. He cut in a song for Gazelle to pick up, who were followed by Die Heuwels Fantasties who then tried to do it better. This ‘attack’ and ‘respond’ round was won by Die Heuwels Fantasties.
In the final round, the "Wild Card", Die Heuwels Fantasties and Gazelle played one last song with their secret special guest to gain the crowd’s affection. The secret guests were Francois Van Coke and Inge Beckmann respectively.
