Being the “Steri Girl” has its perks (beyond having an endless supply of milky goodness)! Last week I got to sit in on…(wait for it)….(a bit more)..A Van Coke Kartel rehearsal!(u-hu!) How freakin rad is that! They’re new album “Skop,Skiet & Donner” is totally BEdonnerd.

In true VCK style they “skop, skiet and donner” down memory lane, singing about being Capetonians, partying endlessly and hanging out.

If you’re in the mood to headbang and unleash your inner freak, get the cd

And uh check out da pecks :

AWESOME PS : The very last limited edition Levi Steri T-shirt signed by Van Coke Kartel is now up for grabs! Just answer this uber easy question : If one flavour had to be president which would it be and why?

The Steri Tee up for grabs

So for my last drop I really had to go on a quest – like in freakin bundu-bashing to meet up with the awesome ouks from Zinkplaat (translation = corrugated metal). But boy-o-boy it was worth the mission…Firstly I was told to meet them on this weird deserted farm place in the middle of flippen nowhere (uh somerset west) where they were supposed to be rehearsing. Yeah, when I got there it was pitch black, with a few random houses and a bunch of goats…you can imagine.

Eventually I found them! BUT only to find out that their lead guitarist had pitched up to the rehearsal without his guitar…(apparently its not an obvious thing to bring along). Eventually I ended up drinking some stumpies with the guys (while waiting for mr guitar dude to return)…

Thanks guys for being rad (and not locking me in the basement with the goats)
Anika.

Another in-depth and probing report from the Anika, our girl where it happens:

“Whilst working my freakin ass off at Stellenbosch Jool (…yea yea ok, I pardied my freakin ass off…), I managed to gatecrash Tollie Square and round up these blokes to be Sterisized just after their show (explains the sweaty look..). So, “Foto na Dans” strange name I know, but apparently it incorporates the visual as well as musical aspect of there awesome being..bla bla read it on wikipedia – all I know is they flippen rock!

Foto Na Dans are totally the new class prefects in the Afrikaans rawk school. Their combo of indie/progressive rock, classic Afrikaans and drifting electronic sounds just makes you want to freakin jump on stage and get down with your bad self. No seriously, these guys have discovered a new bonus hidden level of awesomeness! No wonder they are being compared to names such as Muse, Bloc Party, Incubus and the Springbok Nude Girls to name but a few…”

Another frontline report from our girl behind the Boerewors Curtain Anika:

“A while back I did a super freakinly rad emergency Steri drop that blew me into outer space! So many people were ranting on and on (and on…) about a particular pirate gypsy band known as Mr Cat and the Jackal (so nursery rhymy) that I just had to go check out these belly bearded scallywags for myself…So I gate crashed one of their rehearsal with some Steri goodies (amazing the doors some chocolate Steri and some stickers opens…)

These guys are frickin amazing! Besides the fact that they play just about every instrument known to mankind (and then add some homemade garage pipe-instrumenty-stuff to the mix) they are unlike any other local band. Their super nuclear combo of xylophones, glockenspiels, accordion, lap-slide, bouzouki, melodica, kalimba and percussion creates a sick acoustic folk blues cocktail. Definitely a band to keep an eye on…czechit!”

We have a winner! Ryan Herselman has been announced as the dope-on-a-rope Jack-Parow-Signed tee winner for this little number:

“A lank zef ou pulls into a cafe pretty late
his name is Jack Parow and he’s looking for a shake
He tuned the cashier if they had and where they were
‘Sure thing sir, what flavour would you like prefer?’
He takes some time, starts playing with his snor
Remembering the different flavours he’s had before
Trying to decide between chocolate, bubblegum or strawberry
He tunes, ‘Jislaaik bra, give me any flavour Steri.”

Nice work son.
