If there was any doubt that Van Coke Kartel has well and truly taken over the music scene, then 2012 has eradicated any such notions. The rockers walked away as ultimate winners at this year’s MK Awards, with keys in hand to their new Hyundai H1 bus as prize for their title of Best Group. They also claimed the titles for Best Live- and Best Rock act.
This never-say-die band is also nominated for a SAMA award in the category – Best Rock Album. Having already won two in the past – will the band take the award home yet again? We’ll have to wait and see, but we reckon their chances are pretty damn good.
And whilst all this patting on the back is going on (hey, these guys deserve it, no doubt), the band is working hard – fans can expect the music video for Tot die Son Uitkom to be released at the end of April. Van Coke Kartel will also record two ‘live’ music videos in April in conjunction with RE Jeans (Woolworths) and The Assembly in Cape Town. These videos for Almal is Bang and Moenie dink nie, wil be released online at the end of April.
Sjoe – are you keeping up with all this? Because there’s still more – the band have released more gig dates. Catch Van Coke Kartel live at the following venues:
