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…”

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.

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.

Sally and Amy, winners of the desk invasion competition on Chris Rawlinson’s blog have officially been stumped.  We delivered their steriphanalia on Wednesday and were greeted by two very happy ladies.  ”I’d never won anything until now, thanks Steri!”  said Amy.  Glad we could help.
