The Parlotones is a rock band based in Johannesburg,
South Africa. They have achieved
multiplatinum-selling status in their home country.
They experiment with their sound and various
structures in their songs, incorporating the typical
doo-wop or traditional folk structures. The
Parlotones are known for the face make-up worn by
lead singer Kahn Morbee.
The Parlotones
Audiences watching The Parlotones are swept up in a
whirlwind of energy and rock orchestrated by front
man Kahn Morbee. Not adverse to experimentation, the
band merges innovative and authentic ideas into a
comprehensive sound, which lends itself to mammoth
live performances, the likes of which audiences have
rarely seen.
The genius of the band was recognized locally when
their debut full-length album, "Radiocontrolledrobot",
won the 2006 Best Rock Album at the SAMA’s, and the
band performed alongside international rock greats
at the Coca Cola Massive Mix concerts. They were
asked to perform again during the 2006 concert, a
rare honour as no band is booked twice in a row to
avoid repetition.

The Parlotones were given the opportunity to open
for super group Live on their Black Mountain White
Light tour to SA, where they played to packed out
stadiums in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. This
was followed by an invitation to perform at Live
Earth South Africa as well as being voted ‘Music
Star Of The Year’ at the You Awards.
After completing four shows in England in the
beginning of 2007 the band has been going back and
forth to perform all over England and Ireland.
The Parlotones
The Parlotones launched their third album ‘A World
Next Door To Yours’ to a sold out performance. The
album has already achieved a number 1 hit with its
first single ‘Giant Mistake’ and sales of the album
have been impressive enough to put it on the top
slot of all music store charts countrywide
