Waaroor praat mens met 'n band wat net-net langer bestaan as wat 'n episode van die Baascast lank is?

Toonhoog het die Battle for Boogie 2025 gewen, en hul was ook finaliste in die jaar se Netwerk24 Rockspaaider kompetisie - maar hul is skaars 2 jaar lank al 'n orkes. Dit was dus 'n gulde geleentheid om dié episode van die Baascast, kinda in 'n band konsultasie sessie in te verander.

Ek hoop daar is ander jong bands wat maybe iets kan leer uit die geselsie.

DISCLAIMER: Ek is redelik seker my opinies word nie deur almal gedeel nie. Kom ons chat in die comments - ek is altyd keen om verkeerd bewys te word!

Geniet die gesels, en gaan luister gerus na Toonhoog se tunes - ek is seker jy gaan nog baie van hulle hoor!

WAARSKUWING: Die episode deel met sake soos verslawing, self-skade, en meer. Sensitiewe kykers wees gewaarsku - maar weet net, die is 'n verhaal van hoop!TUIN praat vir die eerste keer uit oor haar ervaringe van die afgelope paar jaar - Hoe sy haarself uit 'n pad van verslawing en verderf gekry het, en die waarhede wat sy geleer het along the way. Ons gesels ook oor haar nuwe song (wat sy saam met Ampie uitgebring het): Konfetti Sonder Kleur - 'n Pragtige song geinspireer deur wyle Kobus de Kock Jnr.

Conrad Jamneck is meer as net 'n legendary sound guy, die front man van 'n band wat nou al vir 21 jaar lank nie bestaan nie, 'n festival fundi, en eienaar van Daisy Jones - die coolste venue vir live music in Stellenbosch.

Hy is ook 'n pa, 'n man, 'n vriend, en 'n diep siel met 'n Nick Cave fetish.

Soms interview ek mense - en soms gesels ons net lekker.

Bos Boogie is een van my gunsteling feeste... en nie net omdat dit met Baas de Beer allitereer nie :-p

Die fees bied fans van local rock, indie, folk en alternative musiek die kans om teen 'n ridiculously billike prys 'n naweek van musiek, maats en amazing memories in die bos te geniet... skaars 30 min buite Pretoria.

Ons gesels met fees-oganiseerders Jan-Hendrik van Staden en Eugene Verreynne oor die rebelliese oorsprong van die fees, die verwagtinge van die jaar se event... en natuurlik 'n paar Top Tips: Hoe Om 'n Festival Te Run.

Kry jou kaartjie vir Bos Boogie 2025 op Quicket. Slegs R550 vir die hele naweek, met dagprys-opsies beskikbaar.

PS:Ek MC die fees, en speel Saterdag oggend 10:00 ook 'n paar tunes!

With Pedro it is different. How does one even introduce him without feeling like you're missing something important.

I suppose you'll just have to listen/watch, and get to know Pedro Barbosa a bit better for yourself. Then you can do the introduction.

Talking to Andries Bruyns, the owner of Klitsgras Drumming, is like getting a new lease on life. In this episode of the #Baascast, he shares his pains, passion and pleasures with us... and I make fart noises!

Also, learning how to play the didgeridoo is harder than it looks.

It's woman's month, so spoke to a woman!
