BITTEREINDER – “KWAAD NAAS”

December 10, 2012

Ladies & Gentlemen our friends from BITTEREINDER have just released their 5th official music video to date for their song “KWAAD NAAS”. It’s a super awesome song and the video is too much fun. My Shane also raps in it and features in the video too, which is pretty cool.

Here are the links to BITTEREINDER’s album and track, do your bit in supporting local music by spreading these links and downloading the album. Our local music scene is amazing and we should all be supporting it as much as we can. Hells yes!

The video, which was dreamed up, directed and edited by our very own Louis Minnaar. 

Watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiJQolbCMFA&feature=youtu.be

Download the new Bittereinder album DIE DINKDANSMASJIEN on iTunes. (VERY reasonably priced, if we say so ourselves!)

This is my friend Trevor’s new video that he shot for Shadowclub. If you look carefully, or not even that carefully, because he’s wearing a bright red and blue sweater, you will see my brother-in-law Craig in it. Go Craig.

Well done Trevor, it’s a rad video and well done Shadowclub, the song is very very cool. I’m so amped that we have such an awesome local music scene. We have some seriously talented bands around, now I just wish the rest of the world would take some notice. Come on world, make SA famous damn it.

Zim Zala Bim

May 25, 2012

Desmond and the Tutus have just released their second single called Zim Zala Bim, which is one of my MOST favourite songs on their new album. But don’t take my word for it, have a listen for yourself and then let me know what you think and if you feel like it, you can give them some love on their Facebook page.

The boys were shooting their second music video for this album on Tuesday and I popped past to say hi. We got to see the final thing last night and damn is it cool. So here is the song and a shot I took of the set when I went to visit. As soon as I can, I’m going to post the video up, it came out so super rad.

 

Hanro, the guy who shot the video for them, took this picture of Shane and I for his ‘500 Days of This’ project, which I blogged about a little while ago. You should also check that out if you haven’t already, it’s well worth your time. I’m so chuffed that I made it into the series heee. As you can see, the boys have featured quite alot.

Yo Grapes.

March 26, 2012

 

Shane’s little brother Craig, who looks just like him and is the super talented drummer from Desmond and the Tutus, has his very own side project called Yo Grapes and today I thought I would share his brand new song ‘Human of the Week’ with you guys because 1. it’s super rad and 2. if you haven’t heard any Yo Grapes songs yet, then your life is just about to become awesome.

Craig literally finished this song 3 days ago and then sent it to me, take a listen to it here and then when you realise that your face wants more, you can download all his music for free just by clicking here.

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a Yo Grapes fan, show him some love by liking his facebook page and he may even give you one of his Yo Grapes t-shirts.

Shortstraw – Awesomestraw.

August 24, 2011

Have any of you heard of a South African band called Shortstraw? They are fast becoming one of my most favourite bunch of boys to listen too. Not only are they nice in the face, but their songs are nice too. Shane and I are releasing their new album soon on Howl Records and I can’t wait for everyone to hear about them, because they are so so good.

I have attached their latest video for you to watch. WARNING this song will get stuck in your head, like a motherfing sticky jam sandwich, but I promise you it’s not a bad thing. Enjoy.

*Their album launch is happening on the 9th of September at Town Hall and they will be playing with Desmond & The Tutus, so that night is going to be amazing. Hope to see some of you there x
