Waaroor praat mens met 'n band wat net-net langer bestaan as wat 'n episode van die Baascast lank is?
Toonhoog het die Battle for Boogie 2025 gewen, en hul was ook finaliste in die jaar se Netwerk24 Rockspaaider kompetisie - maar hul is skaars 2 jaar lank al 'n orkes. Dit was dus 'n gulde geleentheid om dié episode van die Baascast, kinda in 'n band konsultasie sessie in te verander.
Ek hoop daar is ander jong bands wat maybe iets kan leer uit die geselsie.
DISCLAIMER: Ek is redelik seker my opinies word nie deur almal gedeel nie. Kom ons chat in die comments - ek is altyd keen om verkeerd bewys te word!
Geniet die gesels, en gaan luister gerus na Toonhoog se tunes - ek is seker jy gaan nog baie van hulle hoor!

WAARSKUWING: Die episode deel met sake soos verslawing, self-skade, en meer. Sensitiewe kykers wees gewaarsku - maar weet net, die is 'n verhaal van hoop!TUIN praat vir die eerste keer uit oor haar ervaringe van die afgelope paar jaar - Hoe sy haarself uit 'n pad van verslawing en verderf gekry het, en die waarhede wat sy geleer het along the way. Ons gesels ook oor haar nuwe song (wat sy saam met Ampie uitgebring het): Konfetti Sonder Kleur - 'n Pragtige song geinspireer deur wyle Kobus de Kock Jnr. Dit is hartroerend.Verder probeer ek om die Tuin-puns tot 'n minimum beperk - en ek fail slegs ligweg daarmee ;-) -------------- Click op dinge:Baas de Beer: https://linktr.ee/ChristoDeBeerKonfetti Sonder Kleur: • Ampie & Tuin - Konfetti Sonder Kleur (Ampt...

Bos Boogie is een van my gunsteling feeste... en nie net omdat dit met Baas de Beer allitereer nie :-p
Die fees bied fans van local rock, indie, folk en alternative musiek die kans om teen 'n ridiculously billike prys 'n naweek van musiek, maats en amazing memories in die bos te geniet... skaars 30 min buite Pretoria.
Ons gesels met fees-oganiseerders Jan-Hendrik van Staden en Eugene Verreynne oor die rebelliese oorsprong van die fees, die verwagtinge van die jaar se event... en natuurlik 'n paar Top Tips: Hoe Om 'n Festival Te Run.
Kry jou kaartjie vir Bos Boogie 2025 op Quicket. Slegs R550 vir die hele naweek, met dagprys-opsies beskikbaar.
PS:Ek MC die fees, en speel Saterdag oggend 10:00 ook 'n paar tunes!

It's the 8th Misty Waters Music Festival - and this years promises to build on their reputation for going bigger ande better each year.

What's wrong with SA theatre? How does one "make it" in the acting world in SA? Are people going to take offense?

Conrad Jamneck is meer as net 'n legendary sound guy, die front man van 'n band wat nou al vir 21 jaar lank nie bestaan nie, 'n festival fundi, en eienaar van Daisy Jones - die coolste venue vir live music in Stellenbosch.
Hy is ook 'n pa, 'n man, 'n vriend, en 'n diep siel met 'n Nick Cave fetish.
Soms interview ek mense - en soms gesels ons net lekker.
Luister na die chat met Conrad, en figure uit watter een die episode is...

I know nothing about politics or finance.
In this episode of The Baascast, I chat to Jacqui Uys - City of Tshwane MMC for Finance...
If stories about breastfeeding under pride flags and strategically avoiding toilet-based political sabotage in the parliament sounds like something that might interest you, give this episode a listen.
I also got a crash course in politics, kinda.

Some bands are just a joy to work with, from bookings and promos to baascasts and braais. Indie Dog ticks all the boxes.
Don't know them yet? Now is a great time to join the Indie Pack, move into the Indie Kennel and get acquainted with Indie Dog!

I started this chat with an unintentional insult. Luckily, Cito is a very nice person... and we got to dive into how he expresses himself through his different projects: WONDERboom, El Cantante, Absinthe, BLVD HVNNY and more! He drops some legit advice for younger musos too... and of course, we talk coffee. And STRAB. And... well, tell you what, just watch the thing.
Check out the new WONDERboom album, Hard Mode - Currently available wherever you get your music!

A band, a bond, a family... it's Hoot 'n Anny!
We talk music, inspiration, life lessons and more.
See why Hoot 'n Anny is more than just a couple of musos (see what I did there?), and learn from their wealth of experience. Through the ups and downs, they have stuck together in an industry so well known for driving couples apart...
