About ()

Hello! My name is Adriaan (English: Adrian... duh) and I am from South Africa. I am not a serious kind of person, so if I make comments that may offend someone, just ignore it! I probably just felt like causing a stir, or whatever you English peeps call it. Anyhoo, I like all kinds of music, but mostly music that I can listen to in the background and not pay attention to. So yeah.

Glaskas

Glaskas - Stormstilte (English "Silence of the Storm")

Glaskas - Verloor Myself (English "Lose Myself")

Glaskas (af) is a band from South Africa, and they sing in Afrikaans. They mostly make acoustic, chilled music, although some of their songs are a bit faster paced and stuff. I prefer their slower and chilled music though. Their name, Glaskas, is an Afrikaans word meaning "Chest/Cupboard/Big box thing" made out of glass. Compare "glas" => "glass" and "kas" => "chest/cupboard/box".

All their members are currently in matric (South African grade/year 12) (2007). They began as a band after they won the Jip news paper's Rockspaaider (English "Rock-spider") competition (I think). They have one EP, or album (I don't really know), where they have some cool songs on it. I think that, for a debut, their record is rather goodish. It's not excellent, but they are only students and they don't really have a big budget. Their future seems extremely bright, however, and their two music videos (above) have been critically acclaimed (I can say that???) on South African music TV.

Please let me know what you think!
