Biography
SernBand started as a solo acoustic act with Sern Lagerwall on guitar and vocals. Joined recently by his brother Arn and the newest member/lead guitarist, Wayne Els, they are experimenting with new sounds and planning on becoming a full scale band in the near future. Back in their hometown of Newcastle KZN after living in Durban for five years, they have plans to move to Johannesburg to fulfill the vision that is SernBand. With Arn backing him up, they bring a full, clear sound with extensive range, influenced by the likes of : Muse, Incubus, Tool and similar bands.
They currently headline at the popular bar “Mellos” in Newcastle where they play alongside the other members of the Newcastle Musicians Club such as Angus Burns from Stonedhenge.
Confident in their music, ONFIRE clothing have been kind enough to sponsor SernBand who will be playing at the launch of the ONFIRE store in Newcastle on the 26th of May 2007.
They have been invited to play at the Maritzburg Musicians club towards the end of June and also have plans to start touring JHB and Durban around July/August. No set dates or venus yet.
Another possibility they are looking into is an invitation to play at White Mountain Folk Festival later on in the year.
Other venues they have played at include: the Vodacom Newcastle Winter Festival, Zacks(Wilsons Wharf) and Tekweni Backpackers.
SernBand is currently entered in the national Battle Of The Bands (www.battleofthebands.co.z
a) where they are in contention to enter the final stages of the competition held in November of this year.
Band members:
Sern Lagerwall: Composer/Writer/Vocals/Guitar
Coming in at a wopping 24 years of age, he has spent the last +- 5 years in Durban of which he spent a year studying jazz guitar at DUT. Growing in confidence while playing at house parties and social events, he also worked as a cocktail flairtender in the popular Florida Road and as manager/falirtender for the portable cocktail bar industry(Liquid Chefs).
Sern's interest in music started from when he was a mere kidling, singing while daddy played guitar.
Sern later expanded his views on to awesome events such as “karaoke” and “pop idols.”
On a more serious note though, Serns urge to be a musician cant be any stronger than it is now.
If anything, he has the need for people to listen and hear how he expresses himself through the music he has written and that they have created.
He can only play one cover song....
Arn Lagerwall: Vocals
Arn likes to think he's only 18 years old cos 26 sounds like it's almost 30.
After spending some time travelling in Europe, Arn came back home to his sunny SA with big plans to get into the clothing industry. He left good old Newcastle for the humid ocean air in Durban where he studied Clothing management for 3 years. Together with Sern they took over the “Durban Night Life” working in an array of Larni Cocktail bars and Clubs and awesome events such as the DDC and Durban July.
He really believes in the music that Sern writes and is honoured to be a part of the phenomenon that is SernBand.
