There's a real nice interview with two of my fav's by oyster magazine.:
Around the time of the Big Day Out we were invited to interview Die Antwoord for Oystervision — that is, to film them being interviewed. Well, we turned up, waited for an hour or so, then were told they had finally arrived, but had decided they didn’t want to be filmed after all. We did end up interviewing them (recording the only audio), and now we know why they didn’t want to be filmed. When you’ve built a career based on a ‘persona’, you need to keep up the act. If you can’t keep up the act, you need to make some good music — otherwise people will see right through you. Unfortunately, Die Antwoord can’t be bothered doing either of those things. They were the most disinterested interview subjects we’ve ever seen. Here is the interview (and their new video).
Seeing as we’re in Australia, do you have any Australian artists?
Ninja: Well I like Australian things. I’ve always liked Crocodile Dundee, The Castle. I like Chopper.
Yolandi: Kath and Kim is my favourite Australian thing.
Ninja: Kath and Kim are fucking Zef.
