Back in the day there was a local group called New Loud Rockets who hailed from Cape Town. They were a very cool band who unfortunately no longer exist, but today I really felt like listening and sharing one of my most favourite songs of their’s with you. Man, we used to dance hard to this song.
Last week’s Lucky Song Friday – Bad Kids – Black Lips
My boys in Desmond and the Tutus have made a bunch of very funny promo videos for their new album Enjoy Yourself. Last week they were a troop of boy scouts telling scary stories and this week they’re just a bunch of innocent school girls having a slumber party, you know nothing out of the ordinary, just a bunch of semi-bearded men dressed like 15 year olds.
I helped on this shoot and I think I may have ruined some takes with my laughing in the background. It was so funny to watch this lot behave like love-struck teenagers, especially Doug, who to me was like a real life South Park character that has been home schooled for way too long. Plus how much do Shane and Craig look like girls?! Girls with facial hair problems, but girls non the less.
Anyway, enough preempting, have a watch and no doubt a laugh. Oh and parental guidance is advised ha!
*Hanro Havenga shot all these videos.
So today is the day that Desmond and the Tutus release yet another new song off their brand new album Enjoy Yourself. Everyone say hello to ‘Pretoria Girls’ and be prepared to have a mid-afternoon dance.
If you missed the first one song they released last week – Tearing Up (Big Guns) just click here.
Support your local bands – Part 1 of their new album is available on iTunes from today! One of my favourite songs is part of this first set of 4 tracks, it’s called ‘Teenagers’, so so so awesome, makes me feel young again https://itunes.apple.com/za/album/enjoy-yourself-pt.-1-ep/id909602633 …
And if you missed the first instalment of their promo videos, click here, you won’t, for one second be sorry.
My little Johnny who used to work for us at Wolves as an all round awesome face has a band called Go Barefoot and this is their latest musical creation – Stand Up Saul.
Well done Johnny and the boys, you did good kid.
Last week’s Lucky Song Friday – Lucky Song Friday – Future Islands – Cotton Flower
I’m sooooooooo excited to share with you guys this morning some of Desmond and The Tutus’ new songs off their BRAND NEW album Enjoy Yourself. I have been listening to this album non-stop for days and have been so amped to share some of it with you. Below I have included their first release called Tearing Up (Big Guns), which is a damn awesome song to dance too.
I would literally go to war for this song, whatever the hell that means. Future Islands is one of my all time most favourite bands and Cotton Flower is one of my all time most favourite songs. Happy listening.
