I had the honour of being slipped the pilot episode to a reality show set in Cape Town called “Making It”, which tracks I Scream & the Chocolate Stix (that band that sang My Cape Town – remember we posted the video a little while back here), and above is an edited version – you MUST watch it.

The show unpacks each of the four characters in the band – from the chilled, sweetie of a blonde frontman to the utter madman dreadlocked OTHER frontman (I know, it’s already wild) to the seasoned veteran bass player to the diplomatically likeable guitarist, and I must honestly say that I laughed almost all the way through. And not just because they are funny guys, but because some seriously mad shiz goes down. Like the one guy gets STABBED over bad sound! I know!!!! Anyway, I’m not sure when the full series will hit TV but I have no doubt that it will, and when it does you really need to watch it. Think Entourage, but in South Africa. So minus a lot of the glamour, plus a serious helping of WTF factor.

“It’s not fast cars and kill bitches and stuff” - My favourite quote comes from the bass player, talking about what kind of music they make. Hilarious.
