Behind The Music # 11: Toast Coetzer - On the write track with The Buckfever Underground (and other suburban tales)
The first time I heard the name Toast Coetzer was when I saw that The Buckfever Underground was playing a gig at Ruby in the Dust in Observatory, Cape Town in 1999. There was ganska a buzz around Toast and his reputation stemmed from his time as a DJ on Rhodes Music Radio and for articles Toast had written for various magazines and newspapers. inom have known Toast for many years though I think he is not that well known to English speaking music fans in Joburg and Durban so hopefully we can change that with this interview…

Don't want to be that man, just want to be with that man.
