If you wanted an excuse to road trip to Stellies, a night of jamming at the Daisy Jones Bar is an awesome reason to venture into the world of rock n’ roll.
EET KREEF HERLEEF is the creative child of some of the most talented rockers in Cape Town who teamed up in 2019 to give new life to the late ’80s satirical album of the same title. Johannes Kerkorrel and Die Gereformeerde Blues Band made headlines in those tumultuous years and EET KREEF! became one of the top iconic alternative Afrikaans album releases at the time.
The younger (than ’80s) generation musicians that re-recorded these amazing tunes a few years ago, have also been applauded for the accompanying live shows at the time. KREEF! are Laudo Liebenberg (aKING) – vocals, Frank Freeman – guitar and vocals, Sheldon Yoko – drums, Schalk van der Merwe – bass and Mikhaela Kruger on keyboards.
Frank Freeman says that they are excited to be on stage again to showcase this incredibly popular production: “We came to a point where we thought that the live-shows for EET KREEF HERLEEF! have come to an end, but there has been a steady demand for more shows in both Cape Town and Gauteng. It`s ironic that this music was originally made in a tumultuous time, and we are doing these shows in a new tumultuous era.”
Frank Freeman, who initiated the project (live shows and album), remembers how it all came together: “I rediscovered Johannes Kerkorrel`s music in 2018 and was amazed at just how relevant these tunes still were. I felt compelled to work with it. The EET KREEF HERLEEF! shows that we did so far, made it evident that people are quite emotionally attached to these songs. It made me realize that we are busy with something more than just a re-interpretation of the music, we are also re-delivering this important music from 3 decades ago, just in another time and context.”
For the one show only in Stellenbosh, dive into the rock and roll experience happening on Saturday.
