Frikkie and the rest of the Awesomeness, were very lucky
to be invited to the launch of Aanklank's two new music videos last nite. The
launch was held at the most perfect venue that one could possibly think of. A
loft/studio in Lynwood which overlooks the whole of the Snorbaai... Too cool!! Upon arrival, we
were greeted with platters of fresh breads, spreads and pestos, and the most
astounding view of p-town at night...
Cardboard cut-out props, that were used in the making of one of the
videos, were to be found hanging all around the space, and guests were
encouraged to wear the props and snap some pics of themselves in these once off
creations! Background music was provided by Francois Viljoen on piano, and this just set the mood... All in
all, the atmosphere was AWESOME!
A bit later on, the reason we all were there, was about
to begin. The girls from Aanklank, Willemien Heyns and Sanet Stegmann, came on
stage and said a couple of thank yous before playing the first of two music
videos. The first being the video for "Terugkeer Na Jou", which was
done by M.J Du Preez from Doktrine... And we'd just like to say that it is a
BEFRIKTE video. Beautifully shot and so well done... M.J and the rest of the
team from Doktrine, HIGH FIVE from Frikkie Awesome!! Boom!!!
Once the video was done, the ladies came out and played a
set of 3 songs to everyone's appreciation! This was followed by the premiere of
there brand new video for the song "Papier is Geduldig". The video
was made on a budget, but it came out soooo cool!!! A big congratulations is in
order for Aanklank and there team of family and friends who helped them put
together an awesome awesome video!! Dis rerig BEFRIK!
A little later in the evening we were given the
opportunity to sit down with Willemien and Sanet and chat about the band, there
day jobs, why they weren't naked in there music video and what the future looks
like for Aanklank. Willemien and Sanet are probably the most down to earth
girls in the WHOLE world! Such fun to talk to and this fun is carried through
into there music and there videos. Bubbly does not fully describe these two
girls... It's like ANOTHER level!!! And we LOVED it!!
The party carried on late into the evening, but it was
eventually time for us to go... But we would just like to say thank you to
Aanklank for having us and making us feel very welcome!! We hope to see you
guys soon....
