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.
Meet the band boys of Zebra and Giraffe.
beautiful minstrel soup show that we played at the wits theatre. we spent hours building this set and it looks really rad now that ive actually seen a photo of it. we folded tons of those origami things and they were really effective.
