MNUSIC

Here's an infomercial we made for our new album MNUSIC. We're going to move our blogging activity (not that we're doing a hell of a lot of it) over to our website - www.desmondandthetutus.co.za as of right now. It's been fun over here on good old blogspot but it's time to move on.

Let's Go New Material










Doug took some photos of us trying to, as Craig so bluntly puts it, "find new ways to sing Peter so that it sounds like a new hit song".

Anyway, if all goes according to plan, by the time we hit Japan in November we'll have a nice new CD for everyone to enjoy.

Japan can you feel it?

Is it just me or does the crowd look completely uninterested?

Getting Lucky in Dube

So last Sunday we played our first ever gig in Soweto. The dudes at Streetpop invited us to their gig at Dube Bowling Club. I'll be honest, it started out pretty hectic and gangsta but two songs in and even the most gangster (adjective) of gangsters (noun) was prancing around kissing his homeboys on the cheek:)

Streetpop, thanks so much for a great gig. We'll definitely be back!

Angie was there with her clicker to take some kiekies, check them out below:
