Die Antwoord

These guys are AWESOME, and huge stars in South Africa. Their style of electro is incomparable to anything else out there: it's called Zef. Their videos are usually the initial draw for most people because they are pretttty out there (I Fink You Freeky will really sicken most people) but the songs themselves are extremely catchy and fun to dance/sing along to! Aside from that, they are SUCH GREAT LIVE PERFORMERS! Saw them at Outside Lands and was blown away, the little blond girl hops all over the stage and is truly a bossy rapper. She flashed the audience, like a G. Her husband was unperturbed. I particularly enjoyed that they wore the outfits from their music videos onstage; that is, after peeling off their matching bright orange sweatsuits. What more do I need to say? GO SEE THEM!

Hey I'm that friend :) I thought the same thing and was even hesitant to tell people about the band thinking they would think I'm crazy but it turns out the people I've shared them with have loved it. And just like Karilo said they truely are geniuses. Also Ninja is very intellectual and creative.

Along with The Hives, Die Antwoord is also one of my favorite acts to see live. Whether Yolandi and Ninja are playing characters or this is their actual personalities, they are amazing live. Never a dull a moment with them on stage. When I first heard of them back in 2010 when a friend showed me their "Enter the Ninja" video, I was like "is this serious?" At first I thought it was a joke band. Ninja says in the "Enter the Ninja" song "f**k, this is like the coolest song I ever heard in my whole life" and after hearing this song and watching the video more and more, he is right. They are geniuses at what they do. Their zef side next level beats music is energetic and nothing but great fun. Can't wait to see what they do next. All I know is that is going to be cray and awesome.
