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…”

“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.

The web slingers at Stonewall have also worked their digital juju on creating an internal order system for their Steri Stumpies. A+ with a gold shiny star chaps.

Running mid-air high five to the guys at Stonewall who have introduced Tim  (above) , their new intern, the ways of the Stumpster. Apparently Tim was a Steri virgin and after making the bewildering confession that he’d never sampled Steri, was marched down to the nearest cafe and is now a true believer. Thanks guys for your dedicated Steri love and support, we appreciate your efforts towards Steri world domination. Tim, welcome to the posse.

So here’s how it goes – Jack Parow signed one of our special edition Levi tee’s. Seeing as it’s a special edition STERI tee and it’s sighed by Mr Parow himself (and has his man sweat pheromones on it) the mere fact that I have it in my possession is proving to be scarily life threatening. I have decided to rather be safe, so this uber-ly awesome once-in-a-lifetime tee is now up for “auction”!

Post a Steri Rap (of any length… ) as a comment and if I think it’s dope-on-a-rope I’ll give you the tee and a whole packet of Steri love…

“A puh-puh-puh-dee-puh (that’s me doing the human beatbox)

I walk down the street
Drinking steri…
uh cos its sweet
Got my converse on my feet
Can I get a retweet?”

That’s a good example of something to do better than.

Competition closes on Friday… (you’ll need to leave us an email or twitter address to get hold of you)

Peace out julle.

Ah the dear old Assembly in Kaapstad. This place is Steri Fan Central - note the dude with the home made Steri tee shirt (he pinched the pic off our blog)… Anika gave us this report from the scene:

“On my latest quest to stalk the most awesome bands in SA and give them an overdose of calcium, I gate crashed the Assembly (actually i phoned up politely and asked if I could come down). Those of you who were there probably had a frickin awesome night! Not to mention a babelas free morning seeing as Steri supplied the ultimate uber-cure at the door (note from lawyers: scientific evidence still pending on that claim). Young rawk bucks The Modes, New Holland and Thieve caused a dancefloor riot with their skinny-jeaned noise mongering. This enthusiastic Steri fan said it all:

“Dude, 3 of the coolest bands in South Africa, and free Steri Stumpie, I must be dreaming, this like, is, the best night of my life!”

Thanks to Adriaan Louw for the pics and being rad in every way possible.

Annabel made the bold claim of being the biggest Steri fan ever, so naturally we wanted to meet her face-to-face to see just how sterific she really is (yup that’s what we do for a living…).  She ain’t frontin - Annabel was bouncing around reception when I arrived but I managed to get her to stand still long enough to pose in her Bubblegum t-shirt.
