RAMfest Lineup and Some Depressing Thoughts on Local Music Fests

The first few bands of this year's RAMfest have been announced. The Joburg leg, which will be held in Riversands Farm in Fourways, will feature the likes of The Narrow, Fokofpolisiekar, the Shadowclub, Newtown Knife Gang and whoever else the organisers are frantically negotiate terms with. For big-name international acts, there's psychedelic trance DJ Infected Mushroom and metalheads In Flames. Tickets are R350, plus another R30 to R50 if you're planning on camping there for a night or two.

Leon Schuster To Poop Out New Movie 2012

Filmgoers rejoice! Leon Schuster is releasing another crime against comedy in 2012. His latest movie Mad Buddies will be a departure from his tired candid camera schtick. Instead of Schuster catching unwitting subjects in high-larious comedic set-ups, Schuster himself will be the subject of a covert reality show. As per the official Facebook synopsis:

The film kicks off when sworn enemies, Boetie (Schuster) and Beast, played by Kenneth Nkosi (Jerusalema, Tsotsi, White Wedding), are forced to embark on a road trip as unwitting subjects of a new TV reality show devised by a gorgeous TV Producer, Kelsey, played by Tanit Phoenix (Spud, Straight Outta Benoni). On camera, with the whole of South Africa in on the joke, the pair comes unstuck at every stage of this hilarious journey until they discover that they have been conned and join forces to exact revenge.
