The annual SOTW Halloween edition is taking a stop in the South of Africa, known as South Africa. I only wish I had more time to fully delve into the motivations of the 3-person wrecking crew known as "Die Antwoord". The three members consist of Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek. All I can say is that this band is an enigma wrapped in an anachronism cloak that was purchased at Kids R Us circa 1987.
Die Antwoord reps a cultural movement known as "Zef". It's a white trash style in South Africa featuring discarded cultural references. According to Yo-Landi, "Zef is associated with people who soup their cars up and rock gold and shit. Zef is, you're poor but you're fancy." Fancy indeed Yo-Landi...fancy indeed.
