MotherFudd the Gathering to host Guinness Record

The date is the 12-14th March 2010. The venue is Malonjeni Guest Farm.
We know how tough it is to come up with money after December and hopefully this will give you a little time to recover, ticket price is R220.
This time we have thought to make it a little holiday for you with the music that keeps us together. The new venue is Malonjeni Guest Farm. This is about a half hour drive from Alberton, so yes we are going back home to the South where Motherfudd started.

Malonjeni – “The Place of the Gathering” true to its name. It has two lovely Camp areas. There are toilets, baths, showers (hot water). Malonjeni has two swimming pools. Malonjeni will run its own bar for you and their prices are great!
Medics with Ambulance.
Security..
Variety of food stalls.
Flea Markets.
Tuck Shop.
Skate Ramp.
BMX track.
Malonjeni also has a game farm, we have arranged for the Game Drive to stay open for you. We stress that for your safety & for the animals you treat the animals with respect. The game are separate from our function & the music will not affect them. We do keep to the “noise pollution” legalities.
Malonjeni is very happy to have us on board, they are aware that we are different to all of the commercial festivals. I was proud to talk about The Fudders as you guys have so much fun but are not destructive as I have seen at other festivals.

GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FIRST TO BE HELD AT MFUDD 2010
We are ecstatic to announce that MotherFUDD 2010 and all you lovely fudders will be banging our way into the history books…literally.
Yes, and not just any history books either…

MotherFUDD 2010 will be hosting the first ever Official Guinness World Record for “The Most People Headbanging …Simultaneously”
and we are very proud indeed, not only that it will be us Fudders that make our international mark but also that it’s South Africans that will be setting it.

Everything is good to go and we will soon announce which song the most momentous bangon of your life will be set to.

You won’t only be setting the bar for all South African headbangers but for metalheads all over the world and thus your name will be entered and logged for being part of this benchmark even

The Flamjangled Tea Party

Mystical Delights and Ingenious Madness fitting for the month of March. Fancy a cuppa tea with that???

Unlike the Mad Hatters traumatic little event, this one promises to delight.

And so it shall. Prepare yourself for this is one event that bound to turn your world inside out.

Join the “madcap melody-makers, artists flamboyant, syrupy tea-ladies, freakish party animals, cross-dressing gorilla’s, candy-floss cowgirls, rooibos sippen diva’s, greased-up rockers, disco deviants, swingtastical jazz-cats, loved-up funkters, queenly kings, kingly queens, non-sensical amusers, trumpet blasting poodles, cupcake cuties, cookie-cutter mullets,betty crocker matrons, minge muffins, crimplene cookies, animal crackers, hot-but-not-cross buns, iced fancies, eccentric tribesman, afro-shaking mama’s, unorthodox greeks, harmonious poets, rubbish magicians, safari suited cubans and possibly that smelly family dog too!” and enter a world beyond imagination.

As you may have guessed this is more then upper nosed high society cradling the finest china. However there are recommended behaviours to observe.

For instance the actual act of tea drinking is a highly sophisticated art form and if therefore more refined then your usual cuppa tea. However this isn’t a pinkie in the air kind of affair…so kudos to creativeness and originality. What would the world be without it?

This is your weekend to let out your inner child and run wild. (Terms and Conditions always apply)

SATURDAY IS FOR PLEASURE & SUNDAY FOR LEISURE & THIS IS HOW WE ARE TOLD THINGS WILL UNFOLD:

 THE TEA GARDEN is open from Saturday morning till late and hosts The Great Waltz after sunset. Sunday will present Le Picnic as we continue to shift sideways through a relaxed daytime party aimed to uplift and leave you feeling fresh.

NIGHT TIME once darkness descends and the nightly creatures come out, your options still twinkle. Saunter over to the Munged Bean Shebeen and get caught up in some late night shenanigans, or cut yourself a rug at the Pyjama Party.

 THE GREAT WALTZ is your chance to be part of a World Record breaking attempt! Bring your partner, or grab one there, as an esteemed dance teacher shows us the moves to use as we attempt to break the world record for the largest coupled Waltz.

So there you have it… and knowing this lot* they are bound to dazzle and surprise you with gift wrapped wicked afterthoughts.

See you there.

The Overtone Team

Pro X 2010

Extreme Weather.Extreme Sports.Extreme Music.

It does not get more extreme then this.

To all the daredevils who came out in the 42c heat SALUTE – and I’m not just talking about the guys on wheels. While the rest of you played it safe this weekend, ZONE 7 was pumping with flick flaks, black flips, tail whips, dirt in your face, and death defying maneuvers are simply “Epic”.”Wild”.”Crazy” and “Sizzling”.

The excitement and amazement quickly took the place of the heatwave as no one dared to even blink. I’m pretty sure people even forgot to breath. With so much going on in every single direction I don’t blame them.

Cape Town has a newbie sensation sweeping across the land and by the looks of it it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Ok, so it isn’t that new but Pro X sure is… Last year they tried it out on the backdrop of the V and A Waterfront.
This year things just got a whole lot bigger. FMX, BMX, SKATE, WAKE, MTB TRIALS, SUPERCROSS, TRIALS, and a MUSIC FEST. Now that’s wicked!

The much talked about demos had the crowd cheering. Who would have thought you could do that on a bike? I mean seriously. Hello. That’s just mind bloggingly head scratching. Chatting to the bikers afterwards I was suprised to find out they didn’t have an answer to that either. “You just make it up as you go along”. Right…

FMX was by far the main attraction. So much so that people were fighting each other for seats. The top 4 SA Champs blew everyone away with ease(and dust clouds) as they worked the ramps and skies. Now these guys are totally Hot.

The coolest cats of the lot were the wakeboarders. Yet before things really kicked off the pool was taken over by bikinis and topless guys who just could not handle the heat.Pity the wake was short lived… could have done with the splash.

As the sun settled over the horizon and finally released the us from the sweltering heat …The bands took to the the stage and got the crowd buring all over again. Nice One. Big Cheers to The Little Kings, Hog Hoggigy Hog, Van Coke Cartel and all the other bands and DJ’s who refused to let the crowd off thier feet.

As the weekend wraped you’re left wondering – can we go again???

PS Don’t try this at home.

Albinobeach Live Review Tonys

After a long wait, out of nowhere, I recieved an invitation in my inbox from Albinobeach.

I first discovered this band at a show at Carfax sometime last year, I was amazed at the power and beauty that this trio unleashed on the audience that night. Then poof! the band seemed to disappear as soon as they where beginning to make waves. I thought they had broken up, yet another casualty of our difficult music industry
Thankfully I was mistaken, the band just took a break to do some new stuff.

As soon as i arrived the band started, for those who dont know, Albinobeach are instrumental. There was no doubt in my mind from the opening notes that we were in for an interesting ride, the spine chilling sounds that the guitarist began weaving through his instrument had everybody fixated to the stage, the band joined and we were off.

The band began gently with a strange eastern guitar driven piece accompanied by simple old fashioned visuals of some kind of light experiment, the song ebbed and flowed emersing you in its watery layered textures before subtly building into a frienzied barrage of intricate progressive rock. To be honest with you the rest of the performance was a blur, this band manages to put you on their level whether you want to be or not. Im not sure if the band even know where they are half the time, enjoying the experience more as a spectator than a performer. The drummer never opens his eyes, its like he’s gone, floating in the music, we all felt the same.

Its difficult to categorise this band, I suppose you could call them post rock, of which im a huge fan, but it goes deeper than that, they seemed to have transcended many musical barriers and even genres that can’t be defined. You need an open mind to enjoy this band or let me rephrase that, the door to your mind needs to be left just a little open, Albinobeach will do the rest.

I felt dizzy and exhausted after the show, they were very loud, but it worked, I didnt want to hear anything more once they were done.

Having not heard a lot of their old material, I cant compare the new stuff to the old, what ever it was that I saw and heard on saturday it will stay with me for a long time. For those of you who like me had heard a lot of rumors as to the musical genius that is Albinobeach, it has to be seen to be believed…Lets hope they don’t go disappearing again, this country needs music like this.

Will Mono & Jan Joknie – Seks Vir Plesier

WILL MONO is the name of an exciting new artist who recently surfaced on the SA music scene. Not following the oh-so-familiar recipe of starting yet another band sounding like…ah well…another band, Will Mono chose a different direction. He makes music and then collaborates with other artists who sing the songs – definitely a fresh take in an already overcrowded music market. Mono recently emerged in the music scene when he, together with Jan Joknie, released the single “Seks Vir Plesier”, which caused quite a stir with its ambiguous lyrics and provocative scenes. The video of the single went to nr. 3 on the MK Top 10 Music Video Charts and is still amongst the Top 10.

“I am in love with Will Mono and Jan Joknie. What? You don’t know who they are? They are the duo behind Seks Vir Plesier. It’s Afrikaans electro/pop at its best. Draw conclusions where you will regarding the content, as for the song as a whole, it’s catchy, electro genius…” – Gabi Goldberg, Musical Mover & Shaker.

Check the music video for Seks Vir Plesier out here and keep a look-out for much more to come from Will Mono:
