Oh oh oh I so excite! I’ve been NEEDING to use this photo I took about three weeks ago on my lunch break up to Hermanus. Yeah that’s right, myself and Charlie V were bored so we decided to drive up to Hermanus because it’s awesome there. It’s basically where I want to be all the time. Unfortunately for me I cannot make it up tomorrow for the festival which has put my kugelsak in a vice. Well at least that’s what it feels like.
“Built To Be Ridden…Her Anus Cycles” Come on, that’s genius…
Anyway I believe it’s going to be a scorcher, do you realise how many people from Cape Town are in Hermanus right now? It’s bordering on pornographic. Seriously, Hermanus gets a bit silly with the amount of people there now, and the funny thing? All the girls who go up just happen to be models of some sort! and if they’re not models, they’re just hot anyway and given the chance…well I would.
Enough about me though! Let’s get the details:
Forbidden Fruit Goes Coastal
Hermanus High School 22 December 10 bands 10 hours music festival
On the 22th December South Africa’s new festival experience Forbidden Fruit hits the coast, for a one- off mega band slam summer concert featuring a staggering ten bands over 10 hours of rocked out madness. The sleepy seaside town of Hermanus is preparing itself for a serious wakeup call as the largest outdoor music event ever in the Overberg, hits town.
The intriguing stellar line up covers the complete range of what is happening in the SA Rock scene. From the enfant terribles of the Afrikaans scene Die Heuwels Fantasies and their angsty big brothers Van Coke Cartel through the indefinable percussive driven funk metal which is Napalma, the slinky summer skunk of 7Th Son, the -Rock-Pop-Blues-Jive of Hot Water, right through to crowd pleasing upstarts Heroes Wear Red, the line up is a fat juicy slice of what is really mattering, music wise today.
Add to that local coastal stalwarts Akkedis and Cape Town favourites Reburn, all leading up to an incredible finale from, the soon to be stadium rock gods, the indie darlings The Dirty Skirts and the band who have been called by many as the greatest SA alternative rock back ever -Sugardrive, it verges on audio overdose territory.
For the price of some single band gigs you get yourself a day long fest with some of the most decadent delights that SA rock as to offer, all crammed into an unmissable musical feast. Forbidden? This festival is going to so darn bad, rightfully it should be banned!

Gracious me, that was like reading a viagra.
Because I have a boner.
Remember, depending on how you drive, Hermanus is only like 40 minutes away from Cape Town! Be there!
