The Brothers Streep made their name a couple years back on the Graham Norton show, and since then have quietly weaved their way into underground humour-rock-star status around the world. If you’re lucky, you would have caught the tune they penned recently for the Secrecy Bill – check it out here – pure genius.

Just to fill you in on them if you’re a bit slow:

Formed in 2005 by Dylan Hichens (guitar and vocals) and Simon van Wyk (guitar and vocals), The Brothers spent their early years performing their harmonious blend of comedy and music in the Cape Town band scene, before later branching into the comedy arena. The result is a comedy band where melody and music don’t take the back seat to the laughs. Their songs span a variety of topics, from flavoured milk products to Disney princesses, as well as pirates, the economy, movie twists and other day-to-day observations – there’s certainly something for everyone with The Brothers Streep.

Completing the band are their friends and fellow ‘brothers’, Tim Smith (keys), Richard Graham (bass) and Tim Price (drums). Together they released their first full band album, Suitable For The Whole Family (2010) – the follow up to their debut duo release, “It Couldn’t Have Been Miss Scarlett, She Was With Us At The Time…” (2006).

You might have seen an ad this weekend somewhere about them being featured on SABC 3’s Expresso show this morning, with Liezel Van Der Westhuizen.

That’s pretty cool. But you know what’s even more cool?

They’ve got one of 2oceansibe Radio’s most popular shows.

Tune in every Friday to The Brothers Streep Show from 17h00 to 19h00 on 2oceansvibe Radio.

Just another reason why the online listenership to 2oceansvibe Radio is bigger than Cape Town’s biggest mainstream stations, with an average listening time 7 times as long.

It says a lot.

Doesn’t it?
