I’m a Lucky Girl

Warning: Shameless name-dropping below.

I am lucky enough to work with 2 Parlotones members’ father.

I have met them and hung out backstage at a show with them – the drummer Neil even brought me a drink!

With all their success, they are re-locating to Los Angelos to hit the US music scene. I joked with “dad” the other day that I wanted to date Glen, he is my favourite.

The date request was unsuccessful – however, Glen signed a dvd of their videos for me! yay!!

 

 

I can proudly add this to my limited edition clock which is a LP (record) single mounted onto a wooden base 🙂

I was touched when “Dad” gave me both gifts because knowing he must get requests all the time, I have never asked for anything. He is a very shy, humble man, making these gifts just so much more special.

The Parlotones are an extremely popular South African band who are in the process of taking Europe by storm.

They have travelled to Germany a few times & they were the first SA band to have their own show at our local event venue – The Dome.

Usually only international artists appear here.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting the band members just before a show.

What a great bunch of guys! Down to earth and really nice.

Humble, soft-spoken and cute!

The drummer even brought me a coldrink!

Check out this video called Push Me to the Floor – one of my favourite songs of theirs. And this video is so well done – I love it.

Kind of has that Johnny Depp / Corpse Bride type feel to it!
