The Baascast – Details, episodes & analysis

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. Dit is hartroerend.Verder probeer ek om die Tuin-puns tot 'n minimum beperk - en ek fail slegs ligweg daarmee ;-) -------------- Click op dinge:Baas de Beer: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ChristoDeBeer⁠Konfetti Sonder Kleur:    • Ampie & Tuin - Konfetti Sonder Kleur (Ampt...

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.

Luister na die chat met Conrad, en figure uit watter een die episode is...

I know nothing about politics or finance.

In this episode of The Baascast, I chat to Jacqui Uys - City of Tshwane MMC for Finance...

If stories about breastfeeding under pride flags and strategically avoiding toilet-based political sabotage in the parliament sounds like something that might interest you, give this episode a listen.

I also got a crash course in politics, kinda.

Is pretty privilege, really a thing? Are men treated better in the music industry? Am I old just because Sarah said so?

Listen to this week's Baascast Brief to hear what the ever-awesome Sarah Jade has to say!

Sarah Jade is playing at Galpalooza - a fully female fronted music festival experience on 9-10 Aug 2024 at Klitsgras, with a FREE pre-party at Railways on 4 Aug!

I chat to Jolene East about what it's like being a female musician and event organiser in South Africa, playing in a band with her husband, and why some people think she does not like men much...

Jolene is not only a musician, business owner and all round fun person - she is also the main brain behind Galpalooza - a fully female fronted music festival experience!

Check out Galpalooza on 9-10 Aug 2024 at Klitsgras, and the FREE pre-party at Railways on 4 Aug!

Some bands are just a joy to work with, from bookings and promos to baascasts and braais. Indie Dog ticks all the boxes.

Don't know them yet? Now is a great time to join the Indie Pack, move into the Indie Kennel and get acquainted with Indie Dog!
