Newton hails from the small but friendly city, Port Elizabeth. The three members, Wayne Simpson, David Els and Errol Mallinson, stand as the backbone of Newton. Each of them fueling into the music waves of creativity.
After playing a fair amount of gigs in PE, Newton relocated to Pretoria in 2007. Spending a whole year there, redefining the music and completing the first album, Whales and Fishbowls. Only 500 copies of the album were printed, making it a bit of a collectors item in the not to far future. Upon their return to Port Elizabeth a new resolve was made to take the band to the next level. With a fairly successful album, but much more to be learnt.
Newton sets their eyes on relocating by the end of 2008.

ja, exams started 2 weeks ago. only had a trombone exam and history on monday. trombone went well. made some dumb ass mistakes, but i think it went off well. not doing my diploma on trombone this year. will do it next year as part of my masters course...i can focus more on it then.
ja, hey...things are good this side. loving being a teacher. childrena re awesome. how is the band going? any lekker gigs lined up for you? think of you and pray for you often!
well i'm in JHB... you got my number so let me know when you're in the area. I'll do the same... also if there's a gig we can record live it'll be cool for them to see what u can do. But let me know because i'd prefer to do the 2trk mix as I've done it before and it needs to sound as good as possible.
Hey guys good luck for the gig. I've got a FT gig so can't make it.... Dam i'd have been there!
Hey guys i'm off to the states in july to hang with the Civil Twilight boys. Maybe i can get my hands on some songs to show rich. maybe even a live 2trk mix...
