DIE ANTWOORD?! (w/ Rye Rye & Jeff the Brotherhood, 11/3/10)

The South African hip-hop group, Die Antwoord–known most notably for their recent ViRaL video, "Enter the Ninja,"–will be playing at Cannery Ballroom on November 3rd. This is very strange, especially considering that local favs JEFF the Brotherhood will be opening, along with Rye Rye (which makes a little more sense). Despite how varied the influences are that are detectable in Die Antwoord, I wouldn’t call their music very comparable to Jeff. But they’re awesome and we love to support, so let’s just say that they add a little flavor to an already tasty lineup. If anything, this show has to be one of the more curious, interest-peaking shows that has come through Nashville this year. Go here for more information, and to hear a nice story–(I think this might be their press release?)–about how Ninja (the lead singer) accidentally got the other half of the Die duo–VI$$ER–pregnant.  And do yourself a favor and watch some of the kooky music videos when you’ve got some spare minutes.–Deli Editor
