Look what happens when you sleep on something...
And here's another recent (NSFW) live performance, this time in the back of a cab trundling through the streets of South Africa.
Despite the band saying that they "made all their music, music videos, video stings, photos, and this next-level interwebsite all on their own with the help of some good friends" they're releasing their debut on Amsterdam's Magnetron
as well as a Sony imprint. Over the last week the band have found traction on US blogs via FreeWilliamsburg and Pitchfork, as well as party crashers Videogum, who went with the headline 'DIE ANTWOORD IS "FAKE," AND SO WHAT?'. Aw.
In their
story they bring up the fact - and videos - that our protagnists have shot clips previously, in seemingly different characters, for an oddball online (comedy?) channel. But as the title does suggest, if they're making beats like this, rocking the mic live and conducting themselves in person as they do...who cares? Jack and Meg weren't siblings either.
Someone needs to bring them out stat.
'Wat Pomp' is one of their older songs and evidently pre-budget. I think I love it.
