MK's "Die Vloed" mockumentary
"Die Vloed", a five-episode "reality series" (mockumentary), chronicles SAMA winners Foto Na Dans trying to record their new album, "Die Vloed". An ordinary "behind-the-scenes" peek soon turns chaotic and the group disbands to form two new bands: Foto and Dans.
Foto (Le-Roi, Niel and John) and Dans (Alex, Dirkie and John) could not be more different, in musical approach or execution, and things soon spiral out of control. In the end, the band's record company steps in, but will it be enough to ensure Foto Na Dans's existence and the successful recording and release of "Die Vloed"?
Subtle comedy
With "Die Vloed" we encounter a meticulously compiled puzzle of subtle comedy, along with a rare occurrence - artists parodying themselves (as opposed to actors depicting stereotypes). This makes "Die Vloed" simultaneously innovative, brave, and very, very funny, with, among other things, singer Le-Roi Nel practising his "microphone drop" (with the help of an assistant) and guitarist Neil Basson getting metaphorically philosophical about the similarities between Foto Na Dans and a koeksister.
"Die Vloed" will be broadcast on music channel MK (DSTV 324) in five parts, from Monday, 26 July. 2010. Watch "Die Vloed" every night from 26 to 30 July just before 7pm, or catch the omnibus on Saturday, 31 July between 8pm and 8.30pm.
