"Fronted by the eponymous Idols finalist, the ensemble has experienced a rapid rise to national prominence with their astute blend of hook-heavy pop and indie savvy which comes across like a South African-spiced cross between Pink and No Doubt...
Despite only having formed in January 2008, The Pixie Bennett Band have already graced the high-profile stages of Splashy Fen, White Mountain, Mr Price Pro and the Durban July. With their fresh sound, magnetic delivery and charismatic leading lady, the band are that rare music phenomenon that is as marketable as it is enjoyable"
Alex Sudheim, Mail and Gaurdian- The Guide
“ The Pixie Bennett Band sees a collaboration between Pixie and some of Durban's hottest talent...Using Pixie's sultry vocal tones as a base, the band have created a unique jazz fusion style that has been compared, if lightly, with Amy Winehouse and Adele.”
Shannon Connolly, Sunday Tribune.
“We always knew that there was something rare about Pix, what with her dulcet husky tones and lyrics to paint a smile on your heart. Kind of like a storm in a teacup covered in lace. ‘Mista Mista’ , ‘So spun’ and ‘Keep you’ are some of my all time favorite's. The Pixie Bennett Band is a breath of fresh air in the world of SA music.”
Jane Linley-Thomas, East Coast Radio
" The Pixie Bennett Band have been a crowd pleaser time again at both Splashy Fenn and last year’s White Mountain festivals. Their fresh sound and magnetic delivery of the music continues to evolve into greatness, and we are excited to watch the growth and success of this band. "
Pedro Carlo, Splashy Fenn/White Mountain organiser
“Pixie Bennett and her band gave a polished performance at the Old Mutual Music at the Lake series in the Durban Botanic Gardens on 31st May. She showed just why she made it into the top ten of the 2009 SA Idols. She has a lot to offer the music industry and if she continues on this path she is surely destined for greater things.”
Coleen Dewar, Durban Botanical Gardens Music at the lake organiser.
