i did a rockfinder q&a a couple of weeks ago and i finally got the print. the questions are quite funny and i remember answering about 40 of them. neil from foto na dans was also featured in this issue. my photo is by marcus.
This article/review was run in the sunday times a year ago today, and it sure made me laugh. they referred to darren and I as the ‘crack-rhythm section’ and ‘world class musicians’…..woah?!um…. well its a cool article and we won a SAMA for the DVD that was reviewed.
our Zebra & Giraffe album launch took place at the Johannesburg Millitary Museum, which could have gone down much better if the manager hadn’t pulled the plug on our performance as we were a little louder then the Howitzer in front of us. Nonetheless we gathered a lot of press around this, and everyone stayed and partied. We also did AMP with Herman Pretorius this evening, in front of this tank where Marcus shot the photo above. We have you in our thoughts constantly Herman!! Vrede!!
oppikoppi was Zebra & Giraffe’s first ever live perfermance, and as nerve racking as it was i think we managed to pull it off:) i do wish we could go back there now, and play to the same amped crowd with a little more experience… this article was run in the SL music issue. photo by Marcus Maschwitz.
there is nothing more exciting as a musician to either be on tour, or to be in studio. we started in studio this week monday, with producer Darryl Torr and Openroom Productions. Its so much fun being here and is so rad to build on parts, and hear the songs develop. Other than not having enough food down here in the dungeon its been really great…it really is something super amazing to experience…this photo is actually from Zebra & Giraffe tour, shot on Greg’s old film camera… i will post some photos that Marcus shot of us in studio sometime soon…
