Toronto locals like Metz, Odonis Odonis and Slim Twig will be playing the celebratory event, as will Man Made Hill and Eucalyptis.
#Die antwoord tour dates 2012 series#
The people at Wavelength have been supporting the arts for over a decade now, and they're throwing the first of a series of 12th anniversary parties on Thursday night. The lineup features heavy metal heavyweights Megadeth, Motörhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil, and since 2012 marks the first Gigantour in four years, you should probably check it out now in case it goes on hiatus again. One of the biggest tours of the year, the aptly titled Gigantour, will be coming to the Prairies this weekend with a show guaranteed to rock hard. With new material from both acts, this is a show that rap fans will want to catch. On top of that, Moka and Evil Ebenezer paired up for their new ZZBRA project, which recently released their The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Moka recently released a collaborative album with Chief titled Crickets, while Ebenezer dropped The Birds in December. If you've heard their new single "I Fink U Freeky," it's probably still stuck in your head and the group just dropped brand new album TEN$ION, so now is a perfect time to see Die Antwoord live.Ĭalgary will be getting a double dose of Canadian hip-hop on Friday night as Moka Only and Evil Ebenezer roll into town. South African hip-hop crew Die Antwoord will be bringing their unique brand of electro-rap to Canada's West Coast this weekend. As an added bonus, Born Gold will be opening. Montreal-based musician Grimes is about to release her new album Visions, so fans of the lo-fi pop star will most likely be treated to some fresh material at her show in her birthplace of Vancouver this Saturday evening. The other spots on the bill go to the Lost Lovers Brigade, Ville Kulla and Slim Fathers. Here are our picks for Can't Miss Concerts happening in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal this week.Ĭhains of Love just announced their new LP Strange Grey Days would be released on March 13, but fans in Vancouver can head to the Biltmore on Thursday night to check out the soul revivalists as they kick off an extensive North American tour in their hometown. ¥O-LANDI was approached to play the lead in David Fincher's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", and NINJA told friend and fellow South African Neill Blomkamp that working together would have to wait when he was offered the role in "Elysium" that would ultimately go to Matt Damon.If you're looking for something to do this weekend, allow us to suggest a few of the best live shows happening across the country. Hollywood soon wanted in on the ZEF action. A major label bidding war ensued and the band ultimately signed a million dollar deal with Interscope records. America was calling and in 2010 NINJA and ¥O-LANDI took their maiden voyage to the states. Early videos "ZEFSIDE" and "Enter the Ninja" racked up a combined 35 million views, the band's website crashed due to the influx of traffic, and no one has been able to look at Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" art the same way again. The rave rap duo of NINJA and ¥O-LANDI VI$$ER introduced ZEF culture into the pop culture lexicon, and pop culture hasn't been the same since. In 2009 Die Antwoord burst onto the international scene out of the deep dark depths of South Africa.
