Welcome to my blog!

For those of you who don't know me; I'm a scatterbrained ex-journalist with a passion for music - specifically local music. My mission on Music'nStuff is to share album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, gig guides, etc. with you - with the hope that my love for music will at least rub off on some of you so we can support South African music the way it deserves to be supported.







Please feel free to contact me - and tell all your friends about Music'nStuff! After all: they say music is a universal language, so spread the word!

News From Die Heuwels Fantasties

An Alternative Flavour At Huisgenoot Skouspel 2011
Die Heuwels Fantasties will be dusting off their finest suits to take their boundary-shifting sounds to the Huisgenoot Skouspel stage at Sun City on 8, 9, 15 and 16 October. Hunter Kennedy sums up the group's excitement about this honour by saying, "It feels like a dream! We can't wait!" DHF will also perform at SkouspelPlus at Grand West Casino in Cape Town on March 17, 2012. Tickets for both events are available at Computicket.

Ek Joke Net
Ek Joke Net is a modern candid camera movie at its best and can currently be seen on the big screen. Dries Scholtz from The Film Factory (who also produced Roepman, Bakgat! and Superhelde) needed a theme song for this film and they guys couldn't pass up on this opportunity. They roped in popular rapper JR to record the theme song entitled Ek Joke Net. "A beat, a few weeks and a joke later we made this song for him," says Hunter.

Huisgenoot Tempo Nominations
2011 has been a firecracker for DHF so far. They have re-written history books with their second album, Wilder As Die Wildtuin's success and they walked away with four MK Awards - to name but a few highlights. The group recently received two Huisgenoot Tempo nominations for Alternative Music Video Of The Year with MK for Noorderlig and Headshift Album for Wilder As Die Wildtuin. On July 19 we will find out if they will have to make more space on their mantelpiece for another award or two.
