FOTO NA DANS reik eerste vollengte album uit in September 2007
Foto na Dans sal vanaf 25 Junie tot 22 Julie hulle eerste vollengte album opneem by B-Sharp studios in Boksburg.
Vanaf 24 Junie sal daar daaglikse insetsels oor die verloop van die opname op www.fotonadans.co.za beskikbaar wees. Dit sal dagboek insetsels, fotos en “behind the scenes” info bevat.
Foto na Dans se debuut video “Huiwerig” het binne `n paar weke die A-lys op MK89 kanaal bereik. Vandat hul kortspeler in Januarie 2007 uitgereik is, het Foto na Dans landwyd begin opslae maak met hul buitengewone energieke optredes en intelligente lirieke. Media en aanhangers is dit almal eens: “hier kom `n ding!” Binne die kort bestek van die eerste paar maande van 2007 word Foto na Dans reeds gesien as die nuwe Afrikaanse Rock gunsteling. (Die video “Soldaatvolk” is al vir drie agtereenvolgende weke no 1 op Mk89 Top 10)
Nuwe liedjies wat op die nuwe album sal verskyn word reeds in optredes uitgevoer en as mens na die gehore se reaksies kyk, is dit verseker dat Foto na Dans bestem is vir groot sukses.
Wat sê die media:
“Foto na Dans is electric. From the first song I could see why there was such a fuss being made about this band. Sure they are similar to Fokof, generally speaking but their sound offers up a lot more than that, by not sticking to a classic rock feel. Their frontman Le Roi Nel has to be one of the best in the country, he commanded the stage, the ringleader of this mad rock ’n roll circus.”
Lloyd Gedye, ISOLATION
“Foto na Dans takes on the “Bellville out there in South Africa.” With trumpeting flair, intelligent lyrics and the surprisingly strong and sexy voice of vocalist Le Roi Nel, they are`n welcome take on the raw angst of Afrikaans punk bands like Fokofpolisiekar.”
Cornelia le Roux, Huisgenoot
“Die feit bly staan, hulle sit ’n song aanmekaar op ’n manier wat niks leen by niemand nie, en dinge bymekaargooi wat al lankal bymekaar wou wees. Klassieke kitaar en harde, deurdringende bass en beat. Skreeuende trompet en skreiend eerlike lirieke.”
Carina Laubscher, KATVROU
“Foto na Dans se nuwe kortspeler bied luisteraars ongewone lirieke en 'n goeie samevoeging van musiekinstrumente wat sorg vir indrukwekkende klanke.”
Johan Swarts – Die Matie
“Nicely raucous music from the latest hot band in the Afrikaans rock tradition. There`s elements of Fokofpolisiekar in the lyrics and the guitar onslaught, and a bit of Nude Girls-y brass and electronica here and there.”
Hagen Engler. FHM
“When I popped this CD in and pressed play, straight away I thought Fokofpolisiekar. It took just 20 seconds for me to realise that Foto Na Dans are much more than just another group of tight jeans, Converse All-Star wearing bandwagon jumpers. It was when Alex Fourie’s trumpet kicked in, 20 seconds into standout track Soldaatvolk, that I thought, hang on a second, what’s going on here? This EP is a collection of four very different sounding songs and alternates from brooding Fokof-style punk, to keyboard-laden- Muse-ish intellect, to The Dandy Warhols and Blur-sounding Britpop, in Afrikaans. It’s eclectic and some of the trumpet lines reminded me of classic, Neanderthal 1 Springbok Nude Girls. There’s even some Spanish guitar as well. I’m interested to hear a full-length.” Yusuf Laher, Blunt magazine
