Vir Die Volkslied, die derde video af die Heuwel se Alles wat Mal Is, het Simon Barnard en Wim Steytler kragte saamgespan om die video vir die lied te ontwikkel en verfilm. Willie Nel, een van die land se voorste kameramanne, het die fotografie behartig.
Die video is in die Noorde van Pretoria geskiet en ondersoek ‘n baie spesifieke subkultuur wat deel van daardie wêreld uit maak.
Oor die video sê Simon Barnard: “Dit is ‘n baie dubbelsinnige stuk werk – karige lewensomstandighede maar gelukkige mense. Die uniekheid van die video lê grootliks in die eerlikheid daarvan”.
Kyk die Volkslied hier:
In ander Heuwels Nuus, word die groep se live DVD, Live op Paul Cluver, môre vrygestel.
Die DVD is verfilm by die Bloekombos Amfiteater op die Paul Cluver landgoed.
Volgens Pierre Greeff, wou die groep lank reeds daar speel en toe die geleentheid om daar te speel vorendag kom, het die groep nie twee keer gedink nie.
Oor die DVD se Pierre: “Die wonderlike ding van die DVD is dat dit ons katalogus van liedjies op hierdie stadium ordentlik bymekaar bring.”

Die Heuwels in ’n Rofstoeigreep en ’n SkoleJAM!
Stefanus Rabie en Rodeo Productions het netjies saamgewerk om ‘n wenner van die nuwe Heuwels Fantasties video te maak.
Die video vir Rofstoeigreep is my gunsteling Heuwels video tot op hede.
Hunter Kennedy het die volgende te sê oor die nuwe video:
“Die aanvanklike idee was om die intro van die 90’s TV-reeks Tropical Heat na te boots. Phillip lyk nes daai ou! Maar ons het maar net ‘n lekker tyd gehad op die ou einde. Waterponies, Hobie Cats, Speedboats, Waterski, Seiljagte, Jeep jaag… Hierdie is die goed waarvoor ons lief is
Die video is in die Weskus by Oude Pos geskiet.
Rofstoeigreep kry ‘n klassieke tong in kies video – Kyk en geniet hom nou!!
En in ander Heuwels Nuus.
Die Heuwels Fantasties, MK en Blackberry vertrek binnekort op die SKOLEJAM toer. Die toer gaan die Supergroep na 12 Skole regoor Suid – Afrika neem. Pierre Greeff sê: “Dit is ‘n wonderlike platform vir ons om ons musiek te neem na mense wat nog nie ons vertonings gesien het nie. Hierdie toer sou nie moontlik gewees het sonder borge soos MK en BlackBerry nie. Dit is wonderlik en toon hul verbintenis tot die Suid Afrikaanse musiek toneel en die land se jeug.”

Die Heuwels Fantasties will soon let loose Alles Wat Mal Is.
Die Heuwels Fanatsties have their fans bubbling with excitement, as this Afrikaans supegroup readies themselves for the release of their much anticipated third album – Alles Wat Mal Is.
The album is set for release in early November.
According to Die Heuwels, the third release will be a good hybrid between the previous two albums.
The band’s first two releases, Die Heuwels Fantasties and Wilder as die Wildtuin, both shot to gold in no time.
For the writing and recording process, DHF, rented a house in Houtbay for three months. The lyrical master, Hunter Kennedy and frontman Pierre Greeff, penned down the lyrics, whilst the music was written in conjunction with Fred den Hertog. Fred was also responsible for all of the programming during the production phase.
Violins, an accordion, a saxophone and some piano was later recorded in Stellenbosch with a few of their friends.
The first single off Alles Wat Mal Is have already set sail through our airwaves, taking DHF fans to Die Beloofde Land.

Frankie is on fire…
A group of five friends, Francois Du Toit (lead vocals & guitar) Heinrich Pelser (backing vocals & guitar) Francois De Bruin Meyer (backing vocals & bass) Freddy Helliwell (drums) Kyle Mitas (piano, sax and backing vocals) – bound by their unique passion for good music, fun times and the inability to dance, make up the exciting group that is Frankie Fire.
Frankie Fire came to life in 2009.
In 2010 the band released their first EP, Seven. The singles Pretty Girls, All Day In The Sun and Melody enjoyed phenomenal success on radio stations such as TUKS FM and OFM.
Frankie Fire sports a unique sound encapsulating anything from blues, pop to hard-, punk- and melodic rock. The result of their sound is attributed to, “an exciting fusion of music and emotion resulting from varied tastes, styles and experiences.” With their expertise and knowledge of the music and entertainment industry, it is no surprise that Frankie Fire is unlocking a whole new market.
2012 saw the band release their highly anticipated debut full length album, Take It In. The album was recorded by Grammy award winning producer, Daryl Torr, in Johannesburg and mastered in Seattle at Spectre Sound by Troy Glessner.
“We are very excited to have worked with Daryl Torr – one of the top producers in the country. Having our album mastered by Troy Glessner who is responsible for numerous international breakthroughs, including Death Cab for Cutie, is an absolute dream come true” Says Francois Du Toit.
The first single off the album, SOS, raided the airways of many a campus radio station. The momentum gathered by the success of this single, was followed by the palylisting of its video on MK.
With a relentless touring schedule, including two successful December tours with Crash Car Burn, and appearances at numerous festivals – including headlining slots at Oppikoppi – Frankie Fire have made sure they stay relevant and on the lips of fans and critics alike. The band who’s sound have been compared to the likes of The Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, Bruce Springsteen ,aKing and Pearl Jam, have also shared the stage with local greats such as Prime Circle, Elvis Blue, Van Coke Kartel, aKing, Fokof Polisiekar and Heuwels Fantasties.
Frankie Fire live
The band has worked hard and endured much since their birth in 2009. The momentum gained from the good response to their new material, is a sign of big things to come Frankie Fire’s way.
Definitely a band to keep a sturdy eye on.
