Die Antwoord now on Interscope?, appeared in LA, SXSW?

Seriously, is this for real?

They were hanging out in NY last week too, but no shows.

Nice to see Larry Bird again

ha,ha...5 albums. Their 'hype' will dissapear after their first album drops and noone understands what the hell they're saying or doing. Then, they'll be locked into their "5" album contract and not able to releaase anything for the next 5 years. They should make a reality T.V. show of this and how their downfall ensues. I'd watch it.

They've supposedly been added or are about to be added to Coachella which I think is noted in the article link.

Insane Clown Posse of 2010.

i hope that hair style really catches on w/ the hipsters. it's a great look.

they were at R bar on bowery last night. man, they're weird.

without having seen their videos and knowing nothing about them, i'm pretty confident this is the worst band of 2010.

Jack Parow is still king in South Africa. Tell me you don't want to get down to this tune:

5 albums? Interscope should just pay them with super-cuts coupons

Stop pretending to like them.

Oh man I just know all the mindless hipster girls are going to sport that blonde fucking mullet in a few months.

larry bird! ha ha!!

Hahaha that is fucking amazing. These clowns are laughing all the way to the bank because of how moronic the major labels still are. Hopefully this joke puts that long-awaited nail in the coffin of banality.

why would anyone sign a deal for 5 albums

^^^ C.R.E.A.M. even zef

More like Detlef Schrempf.

And they say file sharing is killing the music industry. No wonder it's going down the tubes.

the girl has this white trash neo nazi tank girl look to her, but she still kinda hot, huh?

diplo kept name dropping them on twitter saying they were gonna make an appearance at r bar. people showed up expecting a show, but got zilch. annoying

You have to admit, though, their shit is more interesting than Animal Collective's latest museum piece, which was about as boring as an M. Ward interview.

larry bird. lol!!!

that guy on the right is not ninja

I thought District 9 was great.

whatever.its funny.

The whole creepy Aryan trash look is very unappealing to me, as is their "music."

I think it's going to work. It's a real curve ball for music which doesn't happen that often (not for lack of people trying). We're not supposed to like a white rap group from South Africa...yet many of us kinda do. Perhaps it's the all around wrongness that is appealing. And I happen to think the music is pretty unique and catchy too (not to mention perverse).

Rap by real Africans, not African Americans.

lolz

I'm glad to hear the girl from Aqua is making music again.

you know, instead of blogging about crap like this, you could give more attention to a band like Freelance Whales, who have 10x more integrity and 'realness' than this!

My band that no one has ever, nor will ever, hear about is way better than this band that I'm bitching about.

The association with Dim Mak was a dead giveaway that the music would be complete shit.

This was 100% confirmed after 10 seconds of listening to the first clip.

wow americans being close minded, whod have guessed.

Americans being close-minded, judgmental and ignorant? NEVER!

likely related to these people:

Ignorant, anonymous commenters assuming the comments are only coming from Americans! Yep.

Yes, the ONLY reason people are making fun of this band is because they're foreign.

If a couple of Americans made atrocious candy flipper rave music with inaudible retarded rapping over it and had their hair cut by a blind person, I'm sure they'd be the darlings of BV.

i liked him better when he was called snow.

speed freaks trying to rap and getting a 5 record label deal from Interscope?! Bet that 45 yr old A&R person at the label is patting himself on the back right about now.

this isn't the shit until Paris Hilton says so.

This is hot!

Speed kills kids. Especially when its white euro trash in aparthied Africa.

she looked HOT in that $copie vid they only left up for 1 day

This is all getting way too weird.

who cares

I don't know. Everyone hating on this is crazy. This dude's got some kind of talent I am not even sure I understand yet. I'm all about it. The independent music blog reading public is like the Hate-o-sphere. Hyped or hipster or fake ... whatever you want to call it, I don't care. I think it's amazing and I literally cannot wait to see what they come out with next.

is that freelance whales guy serious? you do know they use the words lemon now and later in one of their songs?

"wow americans being close minded, whod have guessed."

where are you from?

I know JJ you got your finger on the pulse there guy cause these hill billies sure know how to make music for a speed ridden, inbred, and real scary snuff film for sad paint huffers gone mad. Their lyrics are just too cryptic for us to understand isnt that right JJ cause the South Aparthied kids had to quit their jobs at the bleach and formaldehyde factory to lay down some tracks yall, and not the kind that involves bath tub cranker sores.

Ground breaking band. The next album should be non articulate and sadly dirty also via the chemical weapons dump.

Oh yeah these kids are underground and everyone gets a pitchfork at this fest. Thats not all.. we got mad viruses dumped from a helicopter yall.
Port a potties? Na Antwoord dont use no port a potties or the bathroom yall.

so many jealous losers on this board. it'd be funny if it weren't so painfully pathetic.

Now I get it, after reading their interview on Vice (http://www.viceland.com/int/v16n9/htdocs/die-antwoord-154.php) its clear they are mentally disabled (most likely as people have hinted from huffing glue).

They're the Kids of Widney High of rave-rap. Now I'm into them.

White fucking Trash

Fuck yes. Die Anwoord are eactly what should be on the radio right now. Between them & Lady GaGa, shit's finally getting interesting again. I ain't saying it's gonna last or become classic - just that it's fun & good & interesting & way more enjoyable than what the underground has become.

Anon 1:15 - crazy talk. I didn't say I couldn't understand the lyrics there big guy. It's the talent. But you obviously get it because your not sitting around trolling the internet at 1 in the AM being all witty with your edgy referenced blog posts ... oh wait.

This is the equivalent of that chick who did "It's So Cold in the D" getting a 5 album deal.

i would give anything to never hear about this band again

Oh no! People are talking about a band!

He washed off his tattoos – I knew they were too good to be true

Don't think that's Ninja in that pic up there.

If this is meant to be a joke or some elaborate irony? They failed especially since it has been pointed out elsewhere when they take it too far when they believe their own act. Or maybe if enough idiots in corners of Williamsburg and elsewhere buy it then the jokes on them.

i like the pic

What happened to the little crippled guy.

She should show those tits.

Can white people be coons and minstrels? If so.. here they are.

They should make a reality T.V. show of this and how their downfall ensues. I'd watch it.

congratulations to DA!

This will blow up im sure, they came out here to shop deals ........yo ninja go. Respek from Boston Mass,

asobi seksu's singer looks hot.

Wow. Everyone just relax. They blew up hard on the web. And yes, that's why they got a 5 album deal. Life.

"Why do I call myself a ninja ya awsk me? Cause ma style is so muthafuckin nawsty."

Wow. There are so many spiteful, jealous, no-talent ass clowns on the internet who have nothing better to do than to talk shit on a group of people who will do more than they ever will in their lifetime. Keep hating, stay jealous, and die a cold lonely death. Props to Die Antwoord, they're somethin different for sure.

"This one is dedicated to all the haters out there, jealous of us, because were better than you."
-Die Antwoord

vere niice

so there you go you damn fuckin haters. they released their first album and it's great. their tour is doing great. they are just great. all you haters are jelous little wankers. go out and try something like this. you'd fail so hard.

I'll enjoy the concert, freak out and have fun on a next fokkin lvl.

oh and btw. listen to "she makes me a killer" by Die Antwoord (on the $O$ album) and feel the skill of the ninja ;)

Guggenheim billed it as a performance piece and it was just an installation. Resultingly, the crowd simply waited for the "show" to start, limiting anyone's ability to freely explore the space (the ground floor was packed with indian-style seaters, and the balconies were lined with people holding onto their spots like grim death.

it makes no sense for them to deconstruct the entire TD North venue to play a show the next night ~50 miles south at an amphitheater (which probably would require a different stage setup anyway). They'd play Providence or Mohegan Sun before that (and I think those are both highly unlikely).
