The Scariest All Hallows' Eve Post - DIE ANTWOORD
In the spirit of Halloween I bring you Die Antwoord from South Africa. The weirdest scariest strangest thing I have encountered in a long time. Scarier than Jeffrey and Dave deciding to do high powered solid state gear for highly efficient horns. I've been studying these guys for a while and they are not what they appear to be. Shock rockers ain't got noth'n on Die Antwoord.
Die Antwoord's musical and visual style incorporates elements of zef culture, described as modern and trashy, appropriating out-of-date, discarded cultural elements. Yo-Landi said, "It's associated with people who soup their cars up and rock gold and shit. Zef is, you're poor but you're fancy. You're poor but you're sexy, you've got style." Their lyrics are performed in Afrikaans, Xhosa, and English.
The Surgeon Gerneral's Warning: The videos listed below may be considered disturbing at best. The lyrics and imagery can be explicit at times.
Something to offend everyone.
The videos are in no specific order.

This video was written for the record label they had just signed to but the label wanted them to tone it down abit and try to do a more mainstream album. They requested that they not use such bad language. I'm thinking that wasn't the correct approach.
If you made it through all these videos.....
Dang!
Please post your thoughts in the comments section.
Honestly I still don't know what to think of these guys. They crack me up and at the same time make me thing WTF.
