The Drums in South Africa

One of our all time favourite bands recently came down to South Africa as the last band for the Adidas Originals tours and we got to watch their absolutely mind blowing performance! This was one of the best live performances I have ever watched, the sound was perfect and the band gave the crowd what they wanted playing almost everything they have ever released. It took me about a month to come out of the post-show depression I was in after they left, and still find it hard to listen to their music now. But it was well worth it. 

Here is a short video We-Are-Awesome did of their tour. Fani and I feature, me in my usual awkward, embarrassing (might be crying) way and Fani looking cute as fuck as a sea punk.

THE DRUMS, MY GOD

Us bitches have very recently fallen heavily/disgustingly in love with this band. A four-piece that switches members every few months (most ironically it seems they struggle to hold down a drummer) hailing from Brooklyn, NY, and creating the most perfectly simple music. Simply the best! 

Not only are they musical gods, but they are fucking hilarious and have released some of the weirdest/funniest videos off their two albums. They are also extremely good-looking and all gay. Just knowing that there is no chance in hell makes us love them even more. PUT IT IN US!!

Their New-Wave/Post-Punk influence is gloriously apparent, and the bands they cite as their favourites speak for themselves- The Wake, The Legends, The Tough Alliance and Orange Juice. Wow.

They've even got a Japanese cover band called "The Drams". 

Very fucking interesting...
