Some Taxi Violence for you?
The Cape Town based rockers are busy recording their brand new album.
After keeping things stripped down and mellow with their 2011 release, the Taxi men are eager to get back to their rock and roll roots. Half of the upcoming album was recorded in 2012 and given to fans for free download as an early Christmas present. The first single off the upcoming album, Paint the Streets, was released in November 2011. The smash reached number 1 on Tuks FM’s SA Top 10 and Puk FM’s Top 40. The recording of the remainder of the tracks will be finished by the 15th of March 2013. The album is set for release later this year – but the Taxi ranks are tight-lipped with regards to a precise date.
The album is being produced at Heritage Sound Studio by Brendyn “Rusti” Rossouw. Rossouw was part of the winning team that helped record the SAMA nominated release, UNPLUGGED: Long Way From Home. The great Theo Crous from Bellville Studios has been approached to mix and co-produce the album.
Online diary vibes.
Taxi Violence are giving fans an inside peek in their recording process, by keeping an online studio diary. You can follow their diary here;
Remember that hot and steamy video we could not get enough of ? Unholy has been nominated for a MK Award. You have till Friday to vote Taxi for Best Rock Video for Unholy.

Goud + Goud + Goud = Die Heuwels Fantasties.
En dis drie in ’n ry vir die groep Fantasties, Die Heuwels Fantasties.
Alles Wat Mal Is, die groep se derde album, het gister – soos hulle vorige twee albums – die goue status mylpaal gehaal.
Lekker – geluk manne!
Die groep is uiteraard uiters gelukkig met die derde plaatjie wat hulle op hulle mantel kan plak.
Hier is die manne se reaksie op hulle prestasie:
Pierre Greeff: “Dat ons derde album so vinnig kon goud gaan is wonderlik! Dankie aan ieder en elke een wat ons ondersteun en ons musiek koop julle maak dit moontlik vir ons om te doen wat ons doen. Baie dankie!”
Hunter Kennedy: “Ek is so dankbaar dat mense so gretig is om ons te ondersteun. Dis ‘n seën dat so baie aanhangers aanklank vind by ons musiek. Hierdie tipe erkenning spoor ons net aan!”
Fred den Hartog: “Super stoked!”
Philip Erasmus: “Wat ‘n eer!”
Die goue status is nie al waaroor die manne opgewonde is nie. In April slaan hulle ’n landwye toer met die hulp en ondersteuning van MK en Blackberry. SKOLEJAM gaan ’n tikkie Heuwels na kleiner dorpies en skole neem, waar hulle musiek nog nie vantevore live gevier is nie. Rakende die toer sê Pierre Greeff: “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 musiektoneel en die land se jeug.”
Die groep beplan vêrder die vrystelling van twee nuwe opwindende vidoes in die nabye toekoms. Die video’s sal vir Rofstoeigreep en Die Volkslied wees.
Hier is ’n paar Heuwels Optredes waarna aanhangers in die nabye toekoms kan uitsien. Datum: 3 Maart 2013
Plek: Rhebokskloof, Paarl
Datum: 22 Maart 2013
Plek: Ellis Park Arena, JHB saam met VanFokKingTasties

Van Coke Kartel maak Chaos lewendig!
Van Coke Kartel en MK het nou weer above and beyond gegaan met die skep van die video vir Chaos.
Met Chaos, het die kartel die kletsrym magte van ene Jack Parow ingeroep, om die lied ’n ekstra stukkie wanorde te gee. Die lied sal die voorlaaste enkelsnit af Wie’s Bang wees. Die groep sal vanaf Mei 2013 nuwe opwindende material begin vrystel.
CHAOS: Van Coke Kartel met Jack Parow
Kyk hier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pQ-Ms9f2qs&feature=youtu.be
Meer oor die video!
Die visuele meesterstuk is moontlik gemaak deur die powers that be MK.
Mk het Ben Jay Crossman genader om die visuele fees vir die lied te skep.
Crossman het ’n deeglik agtergrond in digitale kuns en lae-fi film. Wat sy betrokkenheid by musiek betref, is Crossman meestal bekend vir sy aandeel tot die skep van Die Antwoord se visuele kuns.
Crossman sê dat hy met Chaos ’n video wou skep wat handel oor die einde van die wêreld soos ons dit ken. Hy praat met groot lof van die samewerking wat hy van die kant van Van Coke Kartel en Jack Parow ontvang het. Hy sê : “VCK en Jack Parow was wonderlik om mee te werk en het my volledige kreatiewe vryheid gegee om die liedjie te realiseer.”
Hy stuur nog ’n pluimpie in die rigting van die entoesiastiese redakteur, Cremer van Dango. “Hy het homself tot die uiterste gedruk en gehelp om hierdie kunswerk saam te sit.”Crossman sê verder, dat briljante individue in ’n span soos Robo Wilson (die DOP) en Wilma Smit (vervaardiger) hulle in staat gestel het om die video moontlik te maak op ‘n klein begroting met epiese resultate. “Vele dank aan my span en aan Van Coke Kartel en Jack Parow wat my so goed laat lyk “, sê Crossman.
Krediet word aan die volgende gegee:
Regiseur: Ben Jay Crossmam
DOP: Robo Wilson
Vervaardiger: Wilma Smit
Redakteur: Cremer van Dango – Hey!Fever
Grimering en hare: Liz Pretorius and -Sammey Joe
Spesiale effekte: Lyle van Dango
Kuns Direkteur en Matt Verf: Ben Jay Crossman

The Best of ‘AF’ – to premiere on MK on Thursday 18 October 2012 at 16:30
A couple of years ago, AF, took the MK generation by storm.
This shock reality program centred around a quartet of guys who blew the minds of audiences with their ridiculous stunts. In a short space of time these crazy kids became household names amongst the cool kids hooked on the MK vibe.
MalNico, Droos, Henkie Boom Boom and die Dunman inspired some special father-son bonding time as fathers and sons secretly watched their outrageous dares and escapades, whilst mothers cringed at the very thought of what they got up to.
Insanity prevailing; they tested everything from stun guns to pepper spray! They even showcased the ultimate party trick using a can of beer, a lighter and a very willing participant.
In their quest to wow their growing following, the four men showed a sacrifice and a pain threshold that would make the American Jackass blokes blush.
MalNico took one for the team and ended up in Hospital with nearly 40 stitches in his back after one of his stunts.
Die Droos gave his hometown, Boksburg, a place in the “hall of fame” when he took a bike burnout on his bum.
Henkie Boom Boom succeeded in making the moustache trendy one more! As if this feat didn’t make him legend enough – the cowboy of a ladies man showcased consolidarity with the female race – taking a full facial wax in a room filled with models.
As for die Dunman? Well, he ate any dish prepared by anyone. Fokofpolisiekar made him puke and the Parlotones gave the man a nipple twist. Taking a nipple twist from the Parlotones – now that’s what I call dedication.
Be sure to catch The Best of AF on MK (DSTV channel 324) every Thursday at 16:30, with repeats daily:
Monday – 21:30
Tuesday – 19:30
Wednesday – 11:30
Thursday – 16:30
Friday – 21:00
Saturday – 13:00
Sunday – 16:00

Van Coke Kartel keeping busy
For Van Coke Kartel, the open road is no new dragon to be slayed. Wynand Myburg happily states– the band loves touring. “We love being on the road and performing every night. That is what we do!”
The band’s currently putting tire to tar, taking their rocking vibe across country. On the 3rd of October the band kicks off their Van Coke Kartel CHAOS Tour presented by Jagermeister, Monster Energy and Music Connection. This tour will also the Kartel take their show to the heart of big-hole country, Kimberley, for their very first Kimberley gig. This is proof of the Van Coke Kartel ideal; making sure their live music reaches all fans across the country.
Another exciting Van Coke feat to look forward to, is this year’s Heineken Symphonic Rocks. This is the first time an Afrikaans band will be included in the line-up. Van Coke Kartel will be accompanied on stage by a 65 piece Symphonic Orchestra. This is one show worth planning a road trip around. “We have always wanted to be part of Heineken Symphonic Rocks and this year it is happening. We are looking forward to the dynamics of performing with a 65 piece orchestra!” Wynand says.
Van Coke Kartel; Jaco Snake Venter
As if these rocking busy bodies are not …well…busy enough – Spring will also see Van Coke heading back to the studios to work on some new material with the great Theo Crous. The new material will see light of day next year. According to Wynand, it’s been 10months since the release of the hugely successful Wies Bang and its time put out some of the new material they have been working on. Wynand says, “We are not 100% sure when and HOW we will be releasing the new material. For now we are focusing on producing great tracks. We are also working closer with Theo on the new material as we liked his input on Wie’s Bang.”
Apart from all the touring, the symphony and the recording of new material, there’s also the case of the MK MVP that jumped into the Kartel’s pocket. This year Van Coke Kartel walked away with an MK MVP for Buitenkant II. They will be working on this project with Groundglass, one of South Africa’s leading director-based film production companies. “Music Videos are so expensive and it is great to get a nice budget from MK to produce one! Dankie MK! Buitenkant II was written in 2007 by Francois, Hunter and myself. Five years later we are making a video for an acoustic version.” says Wynand.

MK is… up for five awards at this year’s Pendoring Awards
The 18th Annual Pendoring Awards are around the corner, and MK and Ogilvy are nominated in five categories for their MK is… campaign.
Pendoring focuses on promoting and rewarding outstanding Afrikaans advertising. It has succeeded in becoming more than just an awards event – it has steadily grown into an ongoing campaign aimed at creating greater awareness on the importance of Afrikaans advertising and marketing amongst marketers, creatives and the broader public.
The annual Pendoring Advertising Awards, which will take place in The Mother City on Friday 21 September 2012. Following a string of international awards for MK is…, MK will be hoping to walk away with a local win in any of the following categories: Non-broadcast video and film; Internet, mobile, interactive communication; Digital mixed-media campaign; Integrated campaign; Live events, activations, direct communication (for the MK is… pop up bar).
MK’s Content Executive, Stephan Potgieter is ecstatic with how the campaign has been received, both locally and abroad. “When we teamed up with Ogilvy SA for MK is…we knew it was going to be an exciting project, but we could never have anticipated the kind of impact it would have with the MK fans, and the industry as a whole. To have won three international awards for theMK is… campaign already blew us away because it meant that people had noticed what we were doing on a global scale. And now to be recognised within the local market among our peers and within the Afrikaans advertising industry, shows us that the appeal of the campaign has far surpassed anything we could have hoped for, and means a great deal to us. We’re holding thumbs that we’ll have a Pendoring Award to add to our achievements with this campaign, because it is one that we are all extremely proud of ”, Potgieter said.
Well done and Goodluck MK!!
