” D-Seven equals seven good-looking guys, seven microphones and one stage. There is no doubt that an electrifying, unique and yes, sexy experience is sure to follow.
The Cape Town-based band started experimenting with different styles of music, such as a cappella and beat boxing, in 2007. Since then they have performed at various South African festivals, and they have even made an appearance on South Africa’s Got Talent.
D-Seven: Fresh a Cappella performs a repertoire that can appeal to anyone, rendering songs from Coldplay to the Manhattans and even Josh Groban. These guys perform with such precision that it makes you wonder if there isn’t a full instrumental band hiding behind the stage. Their instruments are hidden in their voice boxes, allowing them to travel light.
To prove to the audience that they were not faking it and lip syncing, they put down their mics and performed a couple of songs right in front of the audience, unplugged. Needless to say, they were the real deal.
To end off the show, D-Seven performed their own version of Wavin’ flag, to which the audience responded with a standing ovation.
When not performing with D-Seven, these guys lead normal lives, with jobs, studies and wives or future wives. They are currently working on their first album with The School of Audio Engineering in Cape Town. Patrick Craig, their manager, says, “I would love to go overseas with the guys.” .

(Via PSFK) A new extension for Google’s Chrome browser has made it 100 times more enjoyable to search for and play free music on the web.
“ExtensionFM is a browser extension for Chrome that finds every MP3 file on pages you visit and automatically creates a library of those songs for you to enjoy.”
Ever hear a song on a blog you like and then forget where and what the song is? Or are you ever directed to a music blog and spend more than 30 seconds looking for the song you wanted to hear? Or do you just skip music blogs in general for lack of a seamless playlist?
This is where ExtensionFM works beautifully. Once you’ve landed on a page with available MP3s, the ExtensionFM icon shows a little blue number count of the total available MP3s. The extension then swiftly pulls all available free MP3s into a drop down menu in the top right corner of the browser.
Play the song from the extension’s streaming playlist in the top right or on the horizontal source bar at the bottom of the screen. Like the song? Add it to your queue and continue to play it ever after you’ve left the page. Don’t like the song? Hit X. ExtensionFM allows users to receive a constantly updated stream of new music from previously visited sites and features a “site of the day” on their blog.
