Daar is nogal ‘n heavy dik pielgevlegery en Oscar bedankings met die maak van hierdie music video, so kom ons looi julle sommer straight met die press release wat die manne van die Black Cat Bones self op hulle YouTube channel geplak het:

South Africa’s hardest working blues-rock jamboree, The Black Cat Bones make a startling return with the release of “Quit It”; a song warning of the pitfalls of excess. Written for Miriam Makeba by her daughter Bongi, the song features on the classic Caiphus Semenya produced, “A Promise” (released in 1974). The Black Cat Bones deliver a swaggering rock and roll sermon, reformatting with a deep southern groove, Muscle Shoals horns and frontman Kobus de Kock’s soulful 70-grit delivery. In reworking this cautionary tale The Black Cat Bones uncover a dynamic new range, and one that looks set to garner continued praise. “Quit it” is produced by Matthew Fink (Anna Wolf / Nakhane / The Medicine Dolls / Matthew Mole) and is taken from The Black Cat Bones forthcoming studio album.

The Black Cat Bones is a multi-genre conglomerate of like-minded music makers from Gauteng, South Africa. Andre Kriel, Kobus de Kock, Gareth Bunge & Casey Rothman forms part of the core founded in 2007 and are regularly accompanied by an array of the countries most talented collaborates and guest artists. The bands captivating performances and diverse repertoire put them in a class of their own as they evolve from subculture champions to a group that’s adored nationwide by a constantly expanding, loyal following from all walks of life.

“The production for the ‘Quit it’ video must be one of the most exciting projects we’ve ever been a part of. Working with the brilliance that is Cito, paired with a well-oiled, and a professional team was a real eye opener for us. We excited to share this with you and are very grateful and proud…” – Andre Kriel / The Black Cat Bones

“I’m very honoured to have been asked by the brothers of The Black Cat Bones to direct the video for “Quit It”. Daunting too, as it’s the first video I’ve directed where I was not the artist. Luckily, BCB are amazing subjects to shoot, and everyone just came to the party, from filming to post, cast and crew. Kobus is an icon of a frontman and is such pleasure to work with…” Cito Otto / Director
