Krakatoa is a seven-piece surf guitar band from Cape Town, South Africa, twanging and boinging since 2001.
Now, seen from a palm plantation high on a green hillside, Krakatoa looks peaceful and serene, with just a thin column of white or gray or on occasion black smoke easing up from its summit. But looks are deceptive: All the while the child-mountain is growing steadily and rapidly, as the elemental fires that created the world rage deep inside.
— Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883
