South Africa is overrated.. this is the only rock band i'll listen to.. besides for fokof.. come to mosselbay aking and rip up this kak little town please.. anyway.. cheers
im a south african, half afrikaans. thing is its a mix of dutch, zulu, english, german and french. but mostly dutch. hence a horrible term for an afrikaaner is "dutch man". in SA the afrikaaners love brandy and coke, and tend to get aggressive when drunk, hence the slang for brandy is "karate water", and naturally the effect it has is it gives u "DUTCH COURAGE" to fight, pick up girls and generally go wild.
@owlyjr I meant the same.. Capetown once was a colony of the Netherlands. I just forgot the word colony. i knew it in Dutch but not in English.
The point that i tried to make is that it probably had something to do with the colony thing. And that 'courage gained from being drunk' is very random.
@bebo1072 dude, that's the same whaat i meant. I said that South africa was once a colony of The Netherlands, and therefore, they speak a mix of dutch with their own words called afrikaans, or south african if you like.
song structure close to fokof, but completely different in the sense that they sound more acoustic and electric. Really awesome stuff, seeing them live next month!!!!!!!!!!!
its very fokof coz its the guitarist producing the album...kings of leon aint got nothing on this band...there new albumk is against all odds...veyr cool.more chilled but still fantastic
Hi, I am from the UK, and I learned about aKing from a South African. I love them and I intend to buy their album online. I hope they come and tour in the UK

Die song is 'n hit,maar van coke kartel skop hul gatte... Jy kan hoor johnny is heavy betrokke daar,hul mik "internasionaal"? fok weet. As hulle my support wil he moet hulle harder!!! Luister die album,laudo se stem wissel ook te veel,raak irriterend. Sal maar vir hunter vra wat gaan aan as hul hier kom gig-jol die 8ste cafe barcelona.
Die feit dat jy nog Shinobi speel, wys vir my jy is die een wat moet groot word. Die ouens by die gigs is staties-die crowd word nie opgevang in hul musiek nie. Dink jy die bands settle om "so goed soos die ander te wees" Moet nie vir my kak vertel nie. Jy's 'n klein draadtrekker...
OMG I love it - it's fantastic - this shit just keeps getting better and better!!!!!! But with all that talent crammed into one band - dit kon nie anders nie, né ouens? Well done - can't wait for the album. Woohoo! Sam
HOWZIT HOWZIT... Damn Laudo mar die band kook. Dis Renaldo van die PE hier. Het jou ontmoet by Tapas saam Francois toe jy saam hom gegig het. Die WIM WIM trein man LOL...
Anyways... add die video as 'n response vir my "South Africa: The Racist Capital of the world" video. My vid het 236 500 views so hier die vid sal baie aandag kry daar.
Stuur net vir my 'n message en dan sal ek die invitation accept.
