Saw them in Durban end of last year, it started raining but everyone was still into it, singing along and everything. Especially to this song, lol! XD
I hope this doesn't sound racist, but when I hear "South African band" I picture them being dark skinned. I was quite surprised by how many of them are white. It's like if a bunch Japanese bands were Hispanic. I'd like to go to South Africa sometime 'cause they've got some great music.
@cara4108 That's why I think they should get rid of the term "African American." What if you're white and immigrated from Africa to America? Are you any less African American than a black person? One white guy I heard came from Africa to America & ended up in trouble with his college for marking "African American" as his race. Seriously, why do they even ask what your race is? Who cares!
@shannonjapan They care for statistics. They want to know how scores differ between races. And anyway, if your friend was white, he should have marked caucasian, because if he's applying for college he probably knew what they meant.
OMG i got a PM from Kahn today and flipped out. He made my day, my week my month lol Ok now I sound like a teen and I am so far from it. haha. Can';t wait to see them in NYC on June 23. They are amazing. His voice is amazing...
Brilliant band, luv them too bits. Can't understand why they are not even more famous on the international stage. Go South Africa, your boys are doin you proud !!!
I heard Parlotones described as a South African answer to Radiohead and Coldplay. They are FAR from either. I'd say they're an answer to Counting Crows.
AdrianHiitman ~ So, so VERY TRUE! I lived in Switzerland for 6 years, & thought that I was happy there, until I returned HOME to South Africa, & realized what I'd been missing for 6 years!
NEVER AGAIN will I ever choose to live elsewhere ~ visits yes! GREAT ~ but to live~ NEVER!
johnniemandt1 ~ AWW man, my heart 'bleeds' for you! Too many who have left tend to find every reason to justify their initial decision, but hey! THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE SOUTH AFRICA! Where in the world can 1 leave their front door & within 1 or max 2 minutes, meet someone with the biggest, warmest smile & readiness to engage in any conversation whatsoever? HA HA That only happens here & I LOVE IT! I have MILLIONS of friends ~ everyone's a friend here! It's awesome! Bush, braai, beers & BREEDOM!
They have just released there first uk album radio controled robot, it should be available in good record shops ..hope this helps, its a great album ....plus they are currently supporting starsailor on there uk tour..
i love the parlotones...<3...they are my favorite band of all time..they are really amazing..even though i live in the UK...i still go and see 'em.....i really think they're awesome
Wow cool! I'm in the UK and saw them on the Live Earth event and have been a little curious about them. Quite a few influences shine through...bits of Matchbox Twenty spring to mind immediately...
When you meet them you think more of them!!! They are really cool guys... Especially Khan and Glenn.... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Great guys!!! mwa love ya all!! When I meet you again - SOMEDAY - I want a hug!! (BLUSHING)
These guys deserve so much....I hope the UK can embrace them. Radiocontrolled Robot & A World Next Door To Yours are amazing albums - I felt the same about The Killer Hot Fuss Album...all are amazing
My pal nina from S.A. told me too look up this band there good but not as good as our U.2. Westlife or sinead o connor but sure ye all cant be perfect like us Irish ...only kidding...lovely song :-)
Great to see the guys. I love their music and living in the UK it reminds me of home - to see Kahn on screen to is a great reminder of home as we were in the same matric year at school.
sa the place to b , uno wat i love this an anyone who doesnt like sA can lick my balls honestly, you should hear seether there much better band than this, frige i love seether
Yes, South african music rocks but seldom gets heard elsewhere, it not happy pop crap that radios play all the time, they are releasing in Europe this month!! But without the radio plugs no one gets to hear them!
