The Springbok Nude Girls

(a.k.a the Nudies, or the Nude Girls) is a South African music group. They formed in September 1994 and played their first gig at a local venue in Stellenbosch, successfully drawing and entertaining a full house. While the band has officially announced that they had split up, they have performed the occasional gig since.

The band is named after an account of a dream one of the band members had the night before their opening gig. The details of which are lost somewhere in the annals of music folklore. The Nudies were one of the most searched items online on account of the combination of some of South Africa's favourite topics: the Springboks (national rugby team) and nude girls!

An alternative rock band, the Nude Girls introduced punk, ska and metal into their songs, introducing a whole new world of music to the youth of South Africa. The originality and quality of the Nudies, as well as other South African bands of the 90's (Sugardrive, Urban Creep, Battery 9, Boo!), inspired other South African musicians and they became not only favourites in South African households but stars and influences in the South African music industry at large.

Band Members

Arno Carstens - Vocalist
Theo Crous - Lead Guitarist

After the split

Vocalist Arno Carstens has formed Nu Porn, another South African band, and has also launched a successful solo career. Guitarist Theo Crous is a founding member of Kobus!, he is also one of South Africa's premier rock music producers.

In 2006 the band regrouped with the original 5 members (Arno Carstens, Theo Crous, Adriaan Brand, Arno Blumer & Francious Kruger) and will be releasing an international introduction album simply entitled 'Nude Girls'. This will be followed by an all-new release in early 2007. Latest event news on www.myspace.com/thenudegirls
