2oceans Vibe

Oh yes! We are loving the new Goldfish music video for their hit ‘Crunchy Joe’ featuring behind-the-scenes footage from Ibiza, Brazil and South Africa! Groupies a plenty and jam packed with partying, jets, cocktails and beaches. Needless to say, we like!

Check it out:

I’m just going to kick off the article with a reminder picture I took in 2004, of everybody’s favourite SA band, Goldfish. Please enjoy Dom & Dave quietly dominating an entire corner at Baraza – a Camps Bay bar which subsequently closed down. This was back in the day when Blues restaurant was actually good.

Goldfish back in 2004

Cute, hey?

Now here’s a pic of the same two goons on stage in Amsterdam in front of God-knows-how-many people – rocking their collective socks off. Truly special to behold!

How rad? Do you have any idea how many groupies you would destroy if you had that kind of vibe going? But you don’t. They do. And they the beauty is these two Cape Town lads have never let the team down. Not once will you hear a bad word about them. They work hard and they are reaping the rewards. It is NO surprise they have just signed with EMI.

GOLDFISH SIGNS WITH EMI MUSIC NETHERLANDS

During last week’s Amsterdam Dance Event, the South-African Dance act Goldfish signed an agreement with EMI Music Netherlands. Goldfish is very successful in South-Africa and The Netherlands, but their popularity increases in the countries Germany, Brazil and the United States amongst others. Yesterday, after the closing of the ADE, the band departed for a tour in the United Kingdom.

Erwin Goegebeur, Chairman of EMI Music Benelux, is very proud with this latest signing: “It has been obvious for some time that Goldfish is a very special act. The exciting mixture of Dance combined with live instruments and jazz influences induced several successful shows and hundreds of enthusiastic fans this ADE. With David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia and Deadmau5 in the roster, EMI confirms it’s prominent position within a contemporary and popular genre. This signing is very special, because Goldfish holds the potential to instantly explode worldwide. An exceptional high number of our foreign EMI colleagues share our enthusiasm.”

Goldfish’s reaction: “We are excited to be working with a fantastic team at EMI who we believe have the capacity to take Goldfish to the next level worldwide. EMI has an amazing roster of Dance Music Legends and it’s great to be a part of that now. This is just the beginning!”

As I said, I’m hardly surprised. This kind of shit comes as standard when you’re awesome.

So gay…

The Blonde and Baby Jesus will be back in town in November for amazing gigs all over South Africa, including Trinity on November 4 and “Submerged Sundays” starting 27 November at St. Yves in Camps Bay.

Research suggests that promiscuity is not associated with increased happiness and, in fact, that the number of sexual partners needed to maximize happiness is exactly one.* [bigthink]

You’ll recall the awesome ad that my buddy Colin Jeffery in the States (The Advertising Guy) did with Goldfish (The Blonde & Baby Jesus). Remember, it’s the one where the hamsters drive a KIA car with Goldfish playing on the system. Check the commercial out here. Incidentally, the same Goldfish tune Colin used in the ad, has hit the top 10 dance tracks on iTunes. I swear – check it out here.

That’s basically a living breathing example of how the vibe works, right there.

So anyways, that whole hamster vibe seems to have become an obsession for Colin, as the hamsters are back in a new ad, with some old-school Black Sheep playing in the soundtrack! Do you remember Black Sheep?  

Check out the new video – it’s tit!

Come on?

How cool is that?

Naturally, this has led to them launching HAMSTAR Clothing! (think G-Star).

No, I’m not shitting you.

Hamstar Clothing

Colin, don’t be shy to send through a package – you know my sizes!

I sent the incredibly awesome “Drummer Guy” video to Dom (The Blonde) and Dave (Baby Jesus) of Goldfish fame, before I put it up on 2oceansvibe the other day. I emailed it to them with the subject, “a gift for you – thank me later.”

They responded that it was, indeed, genius.

So today, Dom sends me an email saying “You gave us the drummer. Now I give you the iPad guitar goth.”

And what a treat it was.

Please enjoy this wonderful individual:

Shame… he’s very sweet.

Did you enjoy the part at the 3:51 mark, where he says, “GADGET MUSIC IS THE NEW PUNK ROCK.”

Special.

We are standing by to hear if Digicape will be stocking the Mantaray iTar. But somehow we doubt it..
