Popular Afrikaans band Die Tuindwergies will be launching their second full-length album, Terwyl die Donker Wolke Dans, on 2 July 2012.

Die Tuindwergies are Dawie de Jager (Bass), Pieter de Jager (lead vocalist and acoustic guitar), Emile Swiegers (lead guitar and backing vocals) and Jean Swiegers (drums).
