More on Foto Na Dans....
Foto na Dans released a 4 track debut album in
January 2007 to fulfil a growing demand for their
music after their video “Huiwerig” was extremely
popular on MK89. Their music is unique and
colourfully innovative, a marvellous noise that
presents an audio-frequency of variety through an
electronic arrangement of the fragmented thoughts of
5 talented individuals.
Within the first six months since the release of the
debut EP, Foto na Dans has impressed audiences and
media nationwide with their energy packed,
larger-than-life live shows, gaining instant fans
wherever they perform. Their fiery, fearless
approach, together with intelligent lyrics and their
unique sound has made them a much talked about new
Afrikaans Rock favourite.
Foto na Dans recorded their first full length album
at B-Sharp studios in Boksburg from 25 June to 22
July. The album, titled INTERVENSIE was released on
1 September.
INTERVENSIE offers exactly what the name implies: an
intervention providing new direction to SA
Progressive Rock. With “INTERVENSIE” Foto na Dans
establishes their own sound. Their classical
training shows in the way that electronic elements
are used to open up this Rock album to symphonic
dimensions.
Foto na Dans has played at major festivals and has
toured extensively in 2007. If the raving crowd
responses are anything to go by, Foto na Dans is
sure to be destined for great success in the near
future.
Foto Na Dans lewer explosiewe lewendige vertonings
tesame met musiek wat al aan bands soos Muse, Bloc
Party, Sprinbok Nude Girls en Incubus vergelyk is,
maar selde ten volle kan vergelyk met enige
musiekstyl.
Foto Na Dans is ’n projek wat streef om die genot
wat hul uit musikale sintese put te deel met almal
wat belang stel. ’n Kulturele, musikale/multi-media
reis wat oop is vir jou. Foto Na Dans se visie bly
konsekwent: ’n magdom klanke/visuele as simbool van
ons gevoelens/idees/gedagtes.
