The Outsiders - Made of Stone Matters
Переглядів 27114 днів тому
Towards the end of 1994, The Outsiders were still buzzing having supported Depeche Mode during the Songs of Faith and Devotion tour of South Africa. Their next ambition was to take their music to America, but before they left, never to return, they recorded "Made of Stone". This rare video of the band in studio at the SABC in Auckland Park was recently discovered in the band's archive and digit...

Milky Chance recently announced their long-awaited return to South Africa with their “Living In A Haze” tour in February 2024 which will see them perform in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. I chatted to the German duo in December to talk about their rise to fame ahead of their South African return. Their 2019 single “Life Without Fantasies” reached the top of the South African viral charts a...
Xavier Rudd Matters

Australian singer, songwriter, musician, and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd returns to South Africa in February 2024. In this short interaction, I relished the opportunity to connect with someone entirely connected to their reality. Take a listen and happily choose to disagree. Before launching his solo career, Rudd began playing music as part of the band 'Xavier and the Hum'. He drew inspir...

Having just released their latest studio album, Bauhaus Staircase, I was gifted a rare opportunity to speak to both Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) on the eve of the most extensive world tour in 45 years. The best part is the synth pioneers will be heading to South Africa in April 2024, the third time we get to welcome them back, eager to hear new mu...

Welcome back to The Gathering, you are all very, very welcome. With just 16 days left before we press on, the past week saw more orders coming in. Thank you, Quintin, Dave and Winton (when you hit send 😉) So, with a little over two weeks before our crowdfunding of sorts campaign turns into the final straight, I thought to remind everyone that I hold the only ever fully autographed copy of The F...

And just like that, it’s October! How the heck did that happen? Welcome back, all. With four short weeks before our crowdfunding of sorts campaign turns into the final straight, we thought you might like a trip down memory lane, pics-wise, led by “Falling Crimson”. These are pretty much all the pics the band still owns, so if you have any of your own, please share them with us (jason@matters.co...

Another week, another dollar, yes, that’s quite a few rand 😉 At The Gathering, some of us enjoyed celebrating our heritage this past long weekend, while others dodged torrential rain, all while watching the Springboks get read the riot act on who should be kicking, and no, short people cannot kick 50 metres - not even with 60 million people backing him. Anyhow, here we are, another week closer ...

Hello, lovely humans. Yes, it's Sunday night (again); where did the week go? Thank you to Oliver, Alan, and Neil for our most recent orders - you are all now officially part of The Gathering - In the End vinyl tribe. We have good news. Yes, we're teasing more music here, but more importantly for those having spent hard-earned cash here, we are closer than we'd hoped to go into production States...

Welcome to The Gathering As we end week 14 of our extended 24-week campaign in making The Gathering’s only debut album, In the End, a reality, thanks go out to Brent, Oliver (no, not that Oliver 😉; he remains calm and distant) and Alan, our three most recent newly invested conscripts. Like the other 24 before you, you all saw fit to commit cash to our cause in getting our lamb to the slaughter;...

Dusted off and digitised, finally the full length original video of "Perfect Souls" by Pretoria's very own, The Gathering. Founder member Frederick Botha, Drikkie to those he holds dear, dug up this gem, along with a whole host of post-punk memories, recorded on HI-8 VHS (spot the lag and tracking required ;-)), which I'll aim to share in the weeks ahead. In the meantime, enjoy a slice of our m...
This song will make you love someone you don't know 😊
El talento de Warren fue muy superior a Dom.

Strange, this is my favorite 3 minute pop song Paul and I ever wrote, but it was never released, and for the life of me, I cannot remember recording it. Old age is a bitch boys.
😂
Awesome stuff gents. Well played. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
Man am I lucky for stumbling upon this. Hope some other folks get to see this, this is awesome.
Glad you dug it!
Another great tune from an underappreciated band. They , like so many other great South African bands that were immensely talented , but unfortunately never got the recognition they deserved
Thank you!
I still have that Outsiders fridge magnet on my fridge...
it was a beautiful interview ,amongst all the mess back then
Great interview.
Am is right about driving a truck ....
Not sure, but will ask when I meet them in person next year :-) Watch this space.
A musician so special and unique.
I Love You My Love Darren Hayes
'Promo sm'
❤the best of all
Awesome job 👍❤
Thank you! Cheers!
My brother Wentzel on drums! I remember carrying his drums in and helping setting up at Steamers (I think) in Pta city!! Ages ago! What a great band!
A real South African Gem . Classic stuff !!
Sublime
Nice one Jason .. Charl love the Sisters hoodie😂😂😂.
Hi there. Just wanted to let you know that Drikkie has confirmed he will be sending your Outsiders CD this week from Las Vegas. It will be sent via DHL, so hoping to have it in hand in the next 10 days. Hold thumbs and apologies for the embarrassingly long delay in getting this to you.
Darren is the absolute best! Such an amazing artist. Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing 😍 Jon ❤keep that faith ❤️ love you forever
Jason Pierce is a living legend
Please could you share a video of their songs Lost for words and indian summer
I am chatting to one of the band members this evening. Let me ask. We hold very little video footage, unfortunately, but let's see :-)
Brilliant absolutely f* cking Brilliant ❤
🙂 Drop me an email at: jason@matters.co.za and and we can go from there :-)
Where can I the outsiders first album. It's absolutely brilliant.
Hi Denise, we manufactured a limited edition CD version of the album back in 1994. I am more than happy to ship you a copy. We’d just need to know where you in order to factor in Postnet fees along with the price of the CD. You can let me know what you are willing to pay for it and we can go from there :-) Thanks, Jason
❤Having a Grobanite concert as I speak! (Minus HARMONY❤)
Groban is a radical democrat ! He goes to Ireland 🇮🇪 and says words to the effect : “ i wish i could have warned the world about Donald Trump “….. groban is another useful idiot who is an outspoken opponent to normalcy and law and order and instead has sold his soul to the democrat cult
I have them on vinyl.
21. Equals. High. Temp. BOI. id. 😎
Thanks Jason, was awesome to chat with you again!
One of the few poet/musicians who get to me, in a deep way. Glad to see him being healthy and continually productive . Beehive and Gone to Earth major mind-expanders. Luv you, David Sylvian!!! 😇
Add to this that Jimmy Page produced Led Zeppelin and was one of the very best in that role and in other projects.
I was at the Sacrilege launch at the Rheingold Club in London. A great night. Met all the members of Can bar Malcolm and Damo.
Thats awesome.
walking into clarksdale is an overlooked very good cd and of course the tour was ultrasonic and in my opinion musically and lyrically page plant are way above lennon mccartney jagger richards sadly i wish they were still together
Robert needs to stop hogging the interview and be more gracious, giving space for Jimmy to speak.
yeah- about as much as mick jagger's solo albums...
Robert Plant looks like he has a hair piece. I'm not knocking it, I am pretty much the same age as he. Shit happens and we get old, it's a fact of life. I loved Zeppelin when they came out and I love them still to this day. They have withstood the test of time. You can't say that about most bands.
Plant & Page pretty much ditched JPJ who with BONZO was the driving rhythm section of Zep’s greatness.
They really do: amazing musicians and great songs
A Reminiscent Drive - Mercy street, one of the best albums of the 90's, and by far the most underrated. I think it's still sounds very inovative, original, psychedelic and precise. Up in my list of unique greatness
Dig the Unleaded LP or CD with the Zen sound,Mr.Page & Mr.Plant,are an incredible Musical Team, Indeed!🇬🇧✌️😎✌️🥁
Plant always seemed like he got off on the bands playing
push push push... do it do it...
I only wish they would feel such warmth towards John Paul Jones…
It would have been better if JPJ was apart of it
Me too. I don’t get it. He seems like a kind and gentle soul.
Loved both tours of Page / Plant the album Walking into Clarksdale was ok . But Plant influenced that more than Jimmy unfortunately.
Too bad Clarksdale was such a shit album..don't get me wrong..saw Zep in 77
Yep, they were hit and miss in 77 too.
Aweful record
@@da324 like one song is good Most High ?
@@da324 75 & 77 saw Zep .. plants first 2 albums solo were good ..?
💚✌️👋👍💙
