Fokofpolisiekar release Live DVD

Forgive Them For They Suck K*k is a selection of the band's most popular acoustic and rock musical offerings chronicling the past decade.

Bassist Wynand Myburgh explained the obscure name for the DVD: "We do not take ourselves too seriously in Fokofpolisiekar. After being together for 10 years we really enjoy each other's company and performing together. Unfortunately, our individual schedules do not allow for rehearsals. We always joke about how well the Fokofpolisiekar shows go although we are not the tightest live band around and we never rehearse.

"For us it is all about portraying and channeling the energy of our music while performing. We actually have a name for it: The Spirit Of Fokof. It is a raw energy and connection that we have as great friends who have been playing together in a band for a while.

"In 2009 a documentary about Fokofpolisiekar, entitled Forgive Them For They Do Not Know What They Do, was released by Fly On The Wall. I joked around that a follow-up DVD should be titled Forgive Them for They Suck K*k. It stuck. It is how the band's name came about in 2003 - as a joke and it stuck. We do not proclaim that this is the best live show ever, but it does have the vibe. Forgive us and enjoy!"
