Too bad he had to be on friggin 7de Laan before people actually recognised the name.
He is very talented. I always enjoyed the 'monkey punk' Boo! produced.
I liked Boo too. "Monkey punk" is about right. But Chameleon's Ingrid Jonker stuff is amazing (I thought it would be crap).

That album is still one of my favourites at the moment. Do you actually understand what he's singing? I thought all 'Capies' can only understand English. 'Lied van die gebreekte riete' - AWESOME!
Originally posted by CrowleyI do my best to keep my Afrikaans skills alive, although living in the southern suburbs does make it hard. Ek luister na RSG en as ek na Chameleon luister het ek Jonker se versamelde gedigte byderhand.

I didn't even know any Jonker poems until I heard Chris sing them 😳. I'm not really a poetry kinda guy...
Originally posted by Bosse de NageChrist, I have no idea. I'm not really into much of the Afrikaans music on offer. Most of it is targeted at pot-bellied 'ou toppies' whose only idea of a balanced meal is a 'skaap tjop' in the one hand and a Klippies 'n Cola in the other...
I was hoping you'd remember the name of the band.
As for ridicule, being mocked and spat upon feeds my Christ complex.
STAMP!
Lucardo asked me to organize something for the Gauten-alêng crowd.
How does the 16th December rub you guys?
William suggested a venue - some pub in the nothern 'burbs where some foreigners hang out who won't beat us up for playing sissy games, just don't stare at them - those guys usually have knives hidden in their clothing...
Anyhoo, other ideas here please.
