éVoid is one of the more important rock bands to emerge in 1980s South Africa. A three-piece rock outfit, it featured the brothers Lucien and Erik Windrich and various drummers Georg Voros, Wayne Harker and Danny de Wet. Erik played keyboards and sang lead vocal, while Lucien played guitar and provided backing vocals.
éVoid emerged to become the most successful and influential of the white South African punk bands to take up African-inspired images and sounds in their sonic rebellion against apartheid.
éVoid is the name of the first album by South African eighties rock group, éVoid.
Prior to its release, record company WEA (now the Warner Music Group) in August 1983 released the single, "Shadows", backed with "Dun Kalusin Ta Va". "Shadows" peaked at number three on the national charts in November.
It was followed up in February 1984 with "Taximan", which reached no. 6 on the South African hit parade. Later that year, "I Am a Fadget" was released as the band’s third single.
By September 1984, the album was riding high at the top of the charts, which was rare for home-grown acts more used to living in the shadow of overseas artists.
At the country’s annual Sarie Awards for 1984, éVoid took the award for “best arrangement and production of an album”, while the single “I Am a Fadget” landed them the “best contemporary artist” award.
