Fox Comet

Fox Comet was born in February 2009 out of the creative synthesis of Stephane Corneloup, Nick Catto and his brother Matt Catto. A chance meeting between Rob and bassist Nick brought up the subject of Rob's passion for South African music and his intense desire to sing for a band. Rob's introduction was a smashing success and rehearsing began immediately.

Their signature sound quickly developed, with Stephane bringing a touch of funky Français to the table from years playing lead guitar with the French rock outfit, Simili Skaï Club. After drummer Matt Catto left the group to join up with Cape Town band Kombat Fudge, Fox Comet skipped a beat for not more than a day when the talented drummer Kyle Gray stepped into the hotseat. Kyle’s stylish cymbal-work and natural ability to rock out made him a perfect candidate for a permanent fixture in the band, which he accepted.

With an ever-increasing number of gigs under their belt, playing at festivals like Synergy Live, Up The Creek and Rock The River, Fox Comet are quickly establishing their place on the South African rock music scene.
