I have just bought a CD for the first time in about a year. The reason? Goldfish.
I saw this rocking, jamming, fun-filled and talented duo play at the 46664 concert this month. That was me, committed and in love. Their music is different, local, gifted and inspired.
I am not sure if I can correctly classify their sound or if their sound can be classified at all, but I have found my summer beats! Apparently their sound is a jazz infused deep house of some sort or other. Whatever it is, it’s here to hopefully stay and keep my bouncing.
Maybe I will try and see if I can get the guys from the band on an SA Rocks exclusive interview sometime soon. Possible bump in to them somewhere on the coast. If you see them play live, send them to SA Rocks or one better, interview them yourself and send me the video!!
I absolutely love Seether (the old SaronGas) and I love the fact that they are an SA Band that has made it big. I also dig it that they help support local bands and come back to SA whenever they can speaking Afrikaans and rocking the Brandy and Coke!
What I really want to say about them is this: They are pissed off at someone (Amy Leigh perhaps) and aren’t scared to say it.
Have a look at their new song, Fake It, and decide for yourself.
On a closing note I must say that Seether or their PR/Marketing team is on top form. Their website is slick and their ideas are great. The one thing that I thought was really smart (although not very “opensource”) is that you cannot embed their video directly from YouTube.
The YouTube page with their video directs you to their website. This is the only way to get the embed code for the video. It has been viewed over 300 000 times on YouTube and I am sure that a countless number of viewers must have visited their site to check out more. Very clever.
