Ons gee alweer iets weg. Donnerse ons wat altyd so blerrie gaaf is. Jy staan die kans om 'n ticket te wen na hierdie jaar se Up The Creek Festival toe. 'n Single ticket. Daar is geen ander kaartjies daarbuite in die interwebs om last minute te wen nie, so ons is jou enigste hoop.

Hierdie gaan 'n vinnige enetjie wees, want ons moet die wenner se naam en ID nommer teen more 12:00 by die event organisers uitkry. Jy het dus tyd tot more oggend 10 uur om met die beste rympie op te kom oor hoekom jy die kaartjie moet wen vir die festival. Moet nou nie simpel wees nie – Up The Creek vind plaas in Swellendam, so ons gaan nie vir jou 'n vliegkaartjie koop en jou in 'n hotel opsit nie.

Die ticket se waarde is 600 skille en is meer gerig op die mense in Slaapstad, of mense wat reeds hulle trips beplan het om te gaan kyk en 'n ticket wil probeer score sodat daar zak oorbly vir brannas.

Stuur jou rympie na griffin@watkykjy.co.za – ons sal alles aanpass na die events organisers en hulle sal die wenner kies. Sluit sommer jou naam en ID nommer in, dan hoef ons nie back en forth rond te fok met correspondence nie.

Volgende week gee ons weer iets cool weg.

Gaaf.

Up the Creek Together with Bacardi Festival 2 – 5 February 2012.

Kongos, aKing, Akkedis, Black Cat Bones, Blues Broers, Cameron Bruce, City Bowl Mizers, Fox Comet, The Great Apes, Holiday Murray, Hot Water, Karen Zoid, Louwtjie Rothman, Machineri, No One's Arc, Piet Botha, Taxi Violence, Wrestlerish, Jeremy Loops, Luna Paige,  Shadowclub, Sterling EQ, Andra, Peachy Keen, AC/DC Tribute, Southern Gypsey Queen.

Bacardi Founders Day at Up The Creek:

The 4th February is Bacardi Founders Day, and Bacardi will be celebrating their 150th birthday at this year`s Up The Creek festival – so expect some surprises. Bacardi will be in full swing with the birthday spirit, helping you and your friends keep cool by the river and refreshed throughout the evening. 

Last years river madness saw a bride being paddled down the river where she met her groom, a rather unorthodox pastor and two unruly ‘bridesmaids’. Vows were exchanged, rice was thrown and a hell of a lot of laughs filled the air where the couple came together. This year Piet Botha will be replacing the pastor on the riverbank, will he be holding a wedding ceremony, reinstating vows or presenting something similar to his popular graveyard series? This, dear creekers, you will only be clear of when you are floating amongst friends on the waters at Up the Creek 2012. One thing we know for sure is, you won’t be short of entertainment, so best you be making your way down to the Breede on the first weekend of next month.

BOS Anything that floats:

We thought we’d encourage you to turn those thoughts and dreams of magnificent floating extravaganzas into actions by dangling a carrot in the form of the awesome prizes you could win right in front of your noses.

Winning the ‘Best Float’ will have you walking away with a BOS hamper consisting of a BOS beach umbrella, 2 x beach chairs, a BOS cocktail book and BOS product as well as 2 x tickets to Up the Creek 2013 and 2 x tickets to a Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert of your choice.

The most romantic float prize is a BOS hamper consisting of a BOS cooler bag, product, a cocktail book, a cap, a Frisbee and 2 x tickets to Up the Creek 2013.  Spot prizes of cash giveaways, BOS hampers with a cooler bag, product, a cap and a Frisbee will be awarded to other contenders who exhibit great effort.

Introducing the world of Glamping:

For those of you who are just too glam for the average run of the mill tent, those of you who cringe at the idea of drab camping, its time for you to search within and release your inner interior decorator. This year the Up the Creek organizers are introducing glamping to the festival scene. As its name suggests, we are inviting you to bring the glamour into camping. No need to leave those cotton sheets at home or discard your Moroccan day bed or African masks for the weekend. Bring it all along and create a home away from home on the river banks, your creativity will not go unnoticed, we are offering the most glam camper R500 in prize money, 2 x tickets to Up the Creek 2013 and a 1 year subscription to Rolling Stone magazine.

How does one enter? Simple. Set up camp, style it to the max, take a picture of your tent at the festival (make sure that we can see that it is at UTC) and submit your entry on our Facebook page after the festival, by no later than 10^th February 2012.  Winner’s announced by 13^th February.

 Converse:

And its confirmed The Right to Make Noise, voting for what you guys would like at Up The Creek Music Festival has come back as:The Right to Trade Up Your Cons! Bring your old Cons and you could possibly walk away with a brand new pair of Cons.
Remember we only have a limited amount that can be given away, so first come first serve!

Ram Jam, in samewerking met Jack Daniel's, tref Langstraat in Kaapstad volgende Vrydag met 'n moerse spoed vir 'n heelnag paartie met net die fokken beste rock en fokken roll noord van die hel. Dis tyd om jou bootse af te stof, daai leerbaadjie op te zip, jou kop te skud en jou sexy gat te kom swaai (as jy 'n chick is). Dis tyd om te rock pappie.

Behalwe die lekker fokken sondige rock en roll tracks wat DJs Chopper Charlie, Iron Leyden en die Red Hot Lili Pepper die hele aand deur die vents gaan pomp tot dit by jou sweetgaatjies uitloop, is daar dié keer ook BEFOKTE pryse en give-aways en kak. Die Best Dressed Legend kry 'n Rock Start Starter Pack met:
- 'n Bottel Jack
- Jack Daniel's skippie en cap
- Altwee Steel Panther albums op CD
- 'n R200 voucher by Sgt Pepper in Langstraat
- 'n R1 000 tattoo voucher by Leigh Soulink van Fine Lines Tattoo Studio

En as jy ure insit op die dansvloer en 'n mean air guitar gooi of net fokken hot lyk (weereens as jy 'n chick is), kan die DJs jou surprise met 'n lekker rock CD bederfie.

Kiefpiele!

Hier is 'n lekker rock 'n roll tune om julle pype solank ge-olie te kry. Vat hom vas!

Daar gaan so paar mense van Watkykjy ook rondsluip om jou dronk ass af te neem en so paar freebies uit te deel. Heavy undercovoer. Onthou om lewerpille en poesbaie water te drink en maak seker dat jou yskas 'n dag voor die tyd at least 'n 2 liter Cream Soda huisves. Daar is niks kakker as om die nuwejaar in te gaan met die gevoel van 'n rot wat in jou mond gekak het en niks om dit mee af te sluk nie.

Tuks FM weet hoe om Pretoria te vermaak en sedert 1998 stroom talle mense jaarliks na die Tuks FM nuwejaarspartytjies. Hierdie jaar is geen uitsondering nie. Tuks FM het met ‘n konsep vorendag gekom wat die hoofstad behoortlik warm onder die kraag sal hê.

Opeenvolgend van 2010 se Motherle$$ partytjie wat by die Voortrekker Monument gehou is, stel Tuks FM hierdie jaar ‘n vuurwarm geleentheid bekend waar partytjiegangers noodsaaklik sal moet “STOP. DROP. Rock ‘n roll”.

Die tema van die geleentheid sluit dan ook die groepe wat by die partytjie gaan optree in, naamlik “Frankie Fire” sowel as “Dance, you’re on fire”. Ander groepe wat ook te sien sal wees is onder andere MTN SAMA-toekenning 2011 wenners, Jax Panik en Van Coke Kartel, asook die groep van Potchefstroom, Moses Metro Man en Johannesburg se Shadowclub.

Die hoof aantrekkingskrag van die partytjie sal die kontroversiële satiriese groep, Jax Panik, sowel as nuweling rock groep, Shadowclub wees.

Jax Panik (Jacobus Johannes van Heerden en Johnny de Ridder) het begin met slegs internet-veldtog om die groep te bemark en het byna oornag in ‘n dans/pop sensasie verander. Met slegs twee studio albums agter die rug het Jax Panik reeds ‘n paar toekennings en nominasies ingepalm waaronder ook ‘n nominasie vir die MTV Africa listener’s choice-toekenning. Hul grootste treffers sluit onder andere “Cigarettes and cinnamon”, “Sex me slowly”, “Get Up (if you’re hot)” en “Dinosaur” in.

Shadowclub is ‘n groep wat sedert 2009 opslae maak in die Suid-Afrikaanse musiekindustrie. Met treffers soos “Guns and money” en “Good Morning Killer” en met een album op die rakke was hulle ook die groep wat gevra is om die verhoog vir die internationale rock-groep, Kings Of Leon te open.

Tuks FM se STOP. DROP. ROCK ‘n ROLL! Nuwejaarspartytjie sal op 31 Desember in Hatfield Square plaasvind.

Ons gee ook 'n ticket weg, maar die ticket kom saam met 'n tattoo wat Ninja self vir jou sal tatoo. As jy graag die ticket tattoo combo wil wen, tune ons op Twitter: "Hey @watkykjy, ek soek daai ticket vir Die Antwoord se gig by Fez en ninja moet my tattoo"

This December sees the mother city vibrate with music as the party season kicks off!

On the 21st of December Fez will come alive with the once off Sea, Sex and Sun event brought to you by Beanstalk, ZEF Jolz and Scar. The highlight of the event is the notorious South African band, Die Antwoord. Their outrageous performances will be more excessive then ever, before they jet off on their Australian tour in March
With this show being their only appearance in South Africa this summer, crowds will no doubt be amped to see what this Zef act has to offer. Also come check out Tha Wedding DJ’z, Slap-chips & Da Sexy Boyz !

Wroem-wroem, pappa.

Wroem-wroem.

Daar is gelukkig so paar dinge wat jy at least hierdie week kan uitcheck in-en-om Pretoria en ons beveel al drie baie sterk aan om die monotomy van hierdie faktap Snormaand te breek.

1) Die Flying Dutchem by Steak & Ale (Woensdag 16 November) - sien onder
2) Springbok Nude Girls saam met goei tjommies van Watkykjy – Feed The Wolf (Donderdag 17 Novebmer by Firkin) - sien onder
3) Park Acoustics by die Voëltrekker Monument (Sondag 20 November) – volg die link (free tickets ook up for grabs)

Op 16 November 2011 is Die Flying Dutchmen te sien by die Steak and Ale Kroegrestaurant vir ‘n jaareindfunksie met ‘n verskil.

As die Dutchmen se laaste plaaslike vertoning vir die jaar, het hulle dit nodig geag om ‘n paar ekstra gaste in te span om te verseker dat dit ‘n lagfees van formaat gaan wees.

Conrad Koch is ongetwyfeld een van Suid-Afrika se voorste komedie talente en vermaak al vir die afgelope vyftien jaar gehore op eie bodem en oorsee tot groot applous met sy skreeusnaakse kombinasie van komedie en wêreldklas buikspraak. Hy slaan keer op keer die humorspyker op die kop met die hulp van sy vennote, Chester Missing (bekend vir sy verskynings op e-tv se Late Night news with Loyiso Gola), die baldadige monstertjie Ronnie en die volstruis met fokus – Hilary.

Die tweede gas, Vittorio Leonardi slaag daarin om gehore met ander oë na dinge te laat kyk – terwyl hulle skaterlag. Hy’s aweregs, ‘n bietjie vreemd en in gestalte en talent ‘n ware reus van die Suid-Afrikaanse lagbedryf. Dis wat gebeur as jy ‘n Italianer is wat in Welkom groot geword het.

Lagliefhebbers kan ook uitsien na die skreeusnaakse manewales van Monique Nortje en die opwindende nuweling Schalk Bezuidenhout.

So kom lag saam op 16 November 2011 om 20:30. Hierdie is een jaareindfunksie waar jy jou nie hoef te bekommer oor onbetaamlike gedrag of wat jou baas gaan dink nie. Tensy jy hom saamnooi.

Kaartjies kos R 60,00 per persoon en besprekings word sterk aanbeveel.

Feed The Wolf jol hulle heel eerste gig saam met Springbok Nude Girls (ja hulle bestaan nog) en Mrs B hierdie Donderdag, 17 November by Firkin in Centurion. Ons wil julle nie nou al te veel van Feed The Wolf vertel nie. Daar sal so paar suprizes wees later in die jaar of vroeg volgende jaar. Kom check hulle net uit solank. As jy goeie rock like, sal jy hulle like.

Hier is die Facebook event as jy die details wil uitcheck. Julle kan ook hierdie nuwe 5 piece rockband van Pretoria op Twitter volg.

Ons gee ook twee double tickets weg vir die show en die wenners sal randomly op Twitter gekies word. Om 'n kans staan om te wen, tune die volgende lyn op Twitter voor ons volgende Vrydag duik:

Hey @watkykjy, skiet my daai free tickets vir @parkacoustics se 20 November gig samblief!

Dis mos nou fokken maklik genoeg?

Wat van ons gee die eerste 50 mense wat van 11uur af deur 'n hek kom 'n free shooter elk? Huh? OK, done, dis 'n fokken deal.
