Emo Under Attack

It looks like people in Mexico are starting to snap at the whole ’emo’ “beweging” (to quote the Beeld), attacking them in the streets.

Where were these guys when we needed them at the CokeFest?? 😉

Anyway, personally, I think emo chicks are hot.

Dammit. If this carries on pretty soon I’m gonna be tasked with bringing emo back…

Vern, St Paddies, and more

So if you’ve been hiding under a rock, kinda like I’ve been doing with this blog, the whole Vernon Koekemoer thing is happening over at CanLikeToHaveRamboGuy.co.za. Be sure to check out his hot chick K-lo Koekemoer too…

Oh and there was the St Patrick’s Day thing in Hatfield Square. Slugs of War played and awesome energetic set and I was given a free CD in exchange for the photos I took. Note to self: Get the photo’s to the band!!! I’ve posted the photos here too.

Also spending as much time as possible on the bike, hence the lack of updates… more to come in this respect soon.

Coke Fest SA Band Lineup

Apparently they have finalised the line-up of South African acts for the 2008 schnarf-Fest. Forgive my lack of fucken enthusiasm here:

WONDERBOOM, CRASH CAR BURN and LONEHILL ESTATE will only be performing in Johannesburg, and VAN COKE KARTEL and SHY GUEVARAS will only be performing in Cape Town!

Wonderboom is a perfect choice. They will be exceptional.

Van Coke and the Guevara’s will be great too.

I’m sorry, you can’t put the dreary monotonous boring punk rock of Crash Car Burn on stage in front of Korn, Muse and Chris Cornell. How sad and pathetic. Lonehill Estate I honestly have no idea but I doubt their northern-suburbs pretty-boy pop-rock could be that much better.

They should be using these events to promote our best talent right under the noses of international artists – the people with the best connections in the industry. Why do they try boost some overrated, sad-ass boring kiddie wannabe rock stars?

Oh, and Prime Circle, yeah, playing 3 year old, over-played, pop rock radio songs – very fucking nice.

To be productive, here’s a few suggestions for a real rock concert:
Taxi Violence, New Academics, Myepic, Deity’s Muse, Dirty Skirts, your suggestions?
