MARCH 23, 2007

South African band records in Greenville
Published: Friday, March 23, 2007 - 10:38 am

The three members of the band Civil Twilight have come a long way from their home in South Africa. And after 12 years together the three members, brothers Steven and Andrew McKellar and Richard Wouters, who were childhood friends, are recording their first studio album at OMG Studios in Greenville.  The band arrived in Greenville in January, when their manager Michael Carney, co-owner of One October Entertainment, moved his production company to Greenville"I was living in Los Angeles and working in Atlanta," Carney says. "I had a friend in Greenville so I rented a car and came down here and literally fell in love with it. The downtown, the restaurants..."   Carney ended up buying a house that day and moved his company not long afterward.

After discovering Civil Twilight in L.A. two years ago, Carney says he knew he wanted to work with the band.  "Most young bands, they need help," Carney says. "But it was the first time I'd seen a band that I was like don't do anything different. That first time I heard them play I got goose bumps, and the goose bump factor is always important."

Civil Twilight had already self-produced an album in their home city of Cape Town, and it had sold 6,000 copies, but Carney wanted to get them into a studio. There was a slight glitch.  Only two of the band members had American visas. The third, the drummer, did not, and he was stuck in Africa sidelining the band's plans to record.  "A lot of bands would have been like, 'Sorry dude,' and picked up another drummer," Carney says. "But these guys wouldn't. So we waited it out; we got the visa right before we came to Greenville to start recording."  That kind of unique devotion endeared the members of Civil Twilight to Carney even more. In his "many, many years in the business," he knew they were special.

Having already connected with OMG founder Edwin McCain, and having toured the studio, Carney rented the band a house in Greenville and booked studio time. Civil Twilight's album is set to finish recording within the next month.  "It's just amazing how nice and professional these guys are," Carney sys of the OMG staff. "I never would have thought this at first coming to Greenville, but it's a state-of-the-art facility."
