Last week Tuesday we played Tings ‘n Times in PTA, it was pretty packed&we had a rad show. Rudi Jeggle came along and shot some photos, I really like these two! Next up is Coke Zero Fest, I can’t wait…it’s gonna be plenty fun! See y’all there;)
Marcus Maschwitz shot this photo of me a while back on my roof when he still lived here. I just came across it now and i really really like this one. I posted a different one a while back from the same shoot and they both such rad pics.
This weekend we played two really big shows called Campus Invasion, one with aKing, Fokoffpolisiekar, and Tidal Waves at the Tuks Rag Farm in PTA, and then on Saturday at the beautiful Emmarentia Dam with aKing, HHP and Goldfish. This photo is from the dam where a good 8000 people piled in, and as you can see the weather held out. This was a lot of fun. Photo by Sean Brand.
Rob and I decided to be a bit spontaneous and kick it in Plettenberg with Greg this week, they happen to have the highest bungy in the world there, and we happened to do it:) its such a great feeling!xxx
As i said above, Bean and I went to Rob’s dam house for new years. It was a super respectful, safe, and pleasant evening (LOL) Thanks for having us Rob, and to the Class of 2008!xxx
The music video for Zebra and Giraffe’s third single off Collected Memories, Oxymoron was released today. Marcus Maschwitz shot the video, and I directed and edited. It was great fun, and i love creating something that you can really get into, and this is definately one of those projects. Although the video looks super smooth, it was actually shot on a Digital SLR stills camera at 10 and 5 frames per second which really suits the feel of the song. We shot around 39 000 photos and used approximately 15 000 in the edit. Make sure you watch it in high quality on the website or on Youtube click on the “watch in high quality” tab.
marcus shot this photo of me sitting on the roof playing ‘blackbird’ and it’s such a great photo! actually uploading from my iPhone to check out how this works…i also happen to be 23 today!xxx
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!!
