New video: Desmond & The Tutus- The Future

The talented Hanro Havenga has put together this music video for "The Future", easily the most serious song you'll ever get out of Desmond & The Tutus.

Special Guests- Fresh White Supergas (New track)

Brothers Shane and Craig Durrant, one half of Desmond and The Tutus, have embarked on a little rap project called Special Guests. Here's their first track, Fresh White Supergas (however you pronounce that). What fun.

Zim Zala Bim- Desmond & The Tutus (Official Video)

Desmond & The Tutus released the music video for 'Zim Zala Bim' today. Love it. Looking forward to getting my paws on their new album, Mnusic.

Tattoo- Desmond & The Tutus (Official Video)

Hello. Hope your Monday wasn't too painful. If it was particularly awful, let Desmond & The Tutus make you smile with their new music video for the first single off their new album, 'Tattoo'. They're such little weirdos but I love their music. If it doesn't make you smile then something is wrong with you. It's really that simple.

Part II: On Friday night, I went...

For those of you who don't know, 5 Gum brought Two Door Cinema Club to South Africa. How much did it cost us to see this insanely talented band? Zero. Nothing. Nada. We all had to apply for tickets online and then a couple thousand people won. It was awesome because the venue was relatively small and the size of the crowd kept it rather intimate. Isochronous was the first local band to open for Two Door. They provided one of my favourite moments of the night when they did a cover of the Skrillex remix of Benni Benassi's 'Cinema'. Holey moley, the crowd just went wild. I would pay good money to see it again.Then it was Desmond & the Tutus' turn. I just wonder how it must have felt for the Desmond dudes to stand on that stage and see thousands of people jiving with their hands twisted into a funny shape, knowing that that is the dance move you have created. I rate it must be a pretty flippin' rad feeling. Two Door Cinema Club have such an incredible live act going on. You can see that those boys have rehearsed a gazillion times. It's no wonder they were nominated for Best Live Act at this year's NME Awards. Quel nuit. I want to do it all over again. It was that great. 5 Gum, you sure know how to organize a party. Don't stop now, ok?

"Your high fives are far too hard"

On Friday night, Desmond and The Tutus played at Arcade Empire. Holey moley, what a  show. They don't play in P-Town very often so it's easy to forget just how much fun they are. It irritates me that they never get nominated for any awards. They're constantly overlooked so I'm going to dub them the band with the wildest dance moves in the local music industry. And the band with the most impressive amount of collective facial hair. Ha. Thanks for the jive, Desmond.
