Just a disclaimer here, I know they're all horribly blurry and underexposed. And I cut off Ninja and Yo-Landi's heads in like half of them. Let me explain: I only brought a flashless light plastic toy camera to the show, and used 400 speed film...and I was in what was I guess a mosh pit. I didn't know rap/rave shows had mosh pits until it was too late. Anyway they're kind of interesting and I thought I'd share them today because it's a leap-year and it's like an extra-long February and for some reason that makes sense to me. And it's fun to share everything sometimes, even if they suck. I started far away and then was like "nope, I have to get closer".
Here's a little YouTube video, at around two minutes especially, you can see the crowd I was in trying to take these pictures. I think that explains it all. The video is worth it to watch Ninja dance. He's awesome. Also, for the gentlemen (and select ladies) out there, Yo-Landi is wearing a cut off shirt and you can see underboob. You can't really see them until around one minute in.
But seriously guys, I tell you, even if you think their music is weird or silly you should REALLY see them live. They are such great performers.
**UPDATE** All would-be robbers, please be advised we have a house sitter and a dog who will kill your face, so don't even think about it.
About a year and a half ago, Ryan and I took a quick trip to Vancouver to meet up with some friends and see Die Antwoord (South African crazy hip-hop/rave??/weird musicians) play. (Click here to see pictures and read about it.) And today we are making the journey again, to meet up with the same friends and see Die Antwoord again. It's tradition now.
Who is Die Antwoord, you ask? First of all, did you pronounce that first word like "dye"? Because it's "dee". As in "the" in Dutch. And German. I've probably written about them five or six times before, but basically you have to see them to know what on earth ... I mean, look.
This is their newest video I Fink You're Freeky.
And if that video didn't scare the shit out of you, here's one that will. But maybe first watch this video that explains all the penis references.
And here's the wang-filled video.
Want to see more? Click here for their creepiest music video. I'm super excited to go on an adventure with my main squeeze. We always seem to have a great time on these mini-trips. We really travel well together, we're the perfect mix of relaxed and responsible.
Ay yai yai, this video creeps me out so very much. Mega NSFW, with very creepy men and a very strange Yo-Landi, a ridiculous mustache, much swearing, bugs on people's faces, home made tattoos and such words as 'faggot' and 'fuck you in the ass' all up in there. I thought the second video was more interesting than the music video, Ninja defends explains their use of the word faggot in the song.
