The SoapGirls
Provocative, Authentic, Excessive
South Africa's Wildest Alternative Rock Band on a Mission in UK, Europe, USA & Japan.
The SoapGirls, French born sisters from Cape Town, are the world's hardest working band during lockdown – performing over 400 live streams with extremely crazy rock 'n' roll shows – now it's time to be let loose on live audiences again!
As children, the fearless siblings Camille and Noémie Debray roamed the streets of Cape Town as street performers for nine years, singing and selling homemade soaps to tourists in order to donate part of the proceeds to hospitals - and so the locals gave the well-known lively, nonchalant young ladies the name 'The SoapGirls'.
As teenagers, they stormed #1 on the album charts in South Africa with their debut album. In the same year, they placed all four single releases from the album in the top ten of the single charts.
Despite their youth, they quickly realized that success comes at a price. The mechanisms and soulless marketing machinery of their major label Universal were against them. From then on, The SoapGirls decided not to compromise on their songs and their live performance. They left the safe haven of chart success, ended their collaboration with Universal, and followed their hearts.
Their passion was and is rock'n'roll – from then on, they celebrate lived freedom, freedom of movement and authenticity paired with a provocative honesty that is second to none. Social commitment and a good portion of punk attitude remain the basic attributes of the SoapGirls. After their break in style, the musical cornerstones are alternative rock, grunge and glam paired with catchy melodies and choruses. Some skillful excursions into the metal genre round off their spectrum.
Rock fans of all stripes can look forward to an extraordinary evening with one of the hottest and wildest live bands in the genre.
