Dans Republic, Foto Na Dans's collaboration with Flash Republic, started out like many other brilliant projects - in a bar. The guys from Foto Na Dans met Flash Republic's Tamara Dey while she was busy promoting Flash Republic's album launch in a Jo'burg drinking spot. Jagermeister flowed and a firm friendship was forged.
A while later in 2009, at the SAMA Awards, Victor Edward from music channel MK asked the guys from Flash Republic to consider a collaboration with a rock band. They thought it a great idea and suggested Foto Na Dans. And so Dans Republic was born.
Dans Republic ‘s single, Afrikaans, has since been play listed on national radio station 5FM, as well as a number of regional and campus radio stations, where it has been fantastically received by listeners. The music video for Afrikaans remained at the #1 spot on music channel MK's charts for three weeks, and Foto Na Dans and Flash Republic will perform Afrikaans live for the first time at the MK Awards ceremony in February 2010.
Foto Na Dans will start recording their next album in February. The album will be released in May, with a nationwide tour to follow in August. Foto Na Dans fans can look out for regular updates about the recording process and the album in the media and on the band's facebook and myspace pages.
