RIYL: MIA, Aqua, Passion Pit
It's finally ACL Time!!!
In honor of the sacred weekend, I thought I would give a tribute to one of my favorite (and scariest) bands, Die Antwoord
Here is there most popular song. There is plenty o' profanity in here, but hey, what can you do?:
So, these guys are a techno/ pop duo from South Africa, and are both super weird. The petite girl does most of the vocals and rocks all black contacts, and a bleached/ half shaved hair do, and then is joined in the unexpected duo with a kind of white trash/ grunge-y rapper. The girl has a very foreign vibe, and regularly sings in a Hebrew-ish sounding language.
My favorite thing about their music is the tribal themed music they feature in most of their music, I assume this comes from their African roots.
In this song, there is a regular, prominent drum beat, that reminds me of an African tribal dance.
This song reminds me SO MUCH of Aqua (the artist behind the famous Barbie Girl) especially with the eerie intro.
These guys are playing at around 4 or 5 on Sunday, so if you don't have a particular band in mind to see then, I would highly recommend checking these guys out. I hear they have absolutely...insane live performances. I am bringing my very sheltered/ innocent boyfriend to this concert, and absolutely I cannot wait to corrupt/ terrify him there.
