Dante3000 (rich) (March 18, 2006)

Woah...I wonder if they've even been to South Africa before. Is there much of a punk following there? Did anyone else think it had something to do with Fugazi at first? -Dante

Someone (March 18, 2006)

Folkofpoliscar... or something like that.... is a South African punk band. They suck, but they are a punk band. And yeah, I thought it said Fugazi at first too.

Someone (March 18, 2006)

i thought it was fugazi ish

allison_le_gnome (March 18, 2006)

Yeah, on first glance.

iconoclast (March 19, 2006)

yep me too. for the fugazi thing.

Someone (March 28, 2006)

Fuzigish, (fuzzy gish) for those who dont know them are quite good, very brassy punk. Fokofpolisiekar (Afrikaans: fuck off police car) IMHO are generic shite that ride on the novelty gimmic that they sing pop punk in afrikaans.

Someone (March 31, 2006)

im south african... yes there is a scene here but its not that big ... bands such as fuzigish...misled , the terrorists, hog hoggidy hog, f..etc, etc.are ok.... and i just heard about lagwagon coming here today .... pity its only in june im so amped!

Someone (March 18, 2006)

I thought about making an AIDS joke here, but it was just in such bad taste that I couldn't go through with it.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Too soon? -Not-To-Regret

Someone (March 18, 2006)

South africa=the american south

Someone (March 18, 2006)

Huh?

Someone (March 18, 2006)

think about it...

Someone (March 18, 2006)

They both have a lot of black people?

Someone (March 18, 2006)

white people dumbass

Someone (March 18, 2006)

The fuck are you talking about? Both South Africa and the American South have large black populations. Although I don't think Blacks are a majority in the American South.

Someone (March 18, 2006)

south africa has a lot of whites, dumbass

Someone (March 19, 2006)

A lot of RACIST whites, to be more specific.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

you have no idea what youre talking about

Someone (June 21, 2006)

dude shut the hell up u dont know anything, not all whites in sa are racist. apartheid is a thing of the past it was only a group of afrikaans nazis who was government then thats why.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Yeah, and a lot of blacks. In fact, about 75% of the country is black. So, what exactly was your point?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

ok wiki

CallingLondon (March 19, 2006)

so does england. does that mean england and southern america are the same too?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

They both have a lot of racist white people?

Someone (March 18, 2006)

Hmmm what did the two have in common...or still have in common?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

you're attempts to be witty/funny/relevant at life have failed. Miserably.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

so did yours

JTravolta (March 19, 2006)

Seriously dude, it used to be funny when people said stuff like that the first 50 times, but now it's just stupid.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

cool out your thetens dude. you have to anonize that shit.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Out of that sentence I wrote, about 10% of you got it....fuck.... ---Trav.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Ok goddammit... Apartheid---South africa Slavery/Segregation---Southern US Agree or disagree...but trying to figure out why "white" people account for nearly ALL evenents as such makes for good conversation

Someone (March 19, 2006)

trying to figure out what your last sentence says makes for good conversation

Someone (March 19, 2006)

If you can't figure that out, you're a fucking idiot.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

dont lash out because youre a moron. that kind of eveneneneveneant is what keeps you down in life

Someone (March 18, 2006)

Godammit, I want to see news of shitty bands breaking up...it's like china..you lose a few, but you gain shitloads. ---Trav.

Someone (March 18, 2006)

i wonder if they sound fugaziish

thebiglebowski (March 18, 2006)

I must see the wagon.

Someone (March 18, 2006)

Who had a tamagotchi?

allison_le_gnome (March 19, 2006)

Shut up.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

why so mean?

allison_le_gnome (March 19, 2006)

1. My iPod hates me. 2. I have a weird semi-headache. 3. Off-topic comments don't fly around these here parts. 4. I always wanted a Tamagotchi, but I only ever got this lame dinosaur rip-off one. 5. In any sort of open/save file box type thingy, all the files will display in reverse alphabetical order by default and I can't figure out how to change it back. 6. Fuck you, Windows. On the bright side, I bought a sculpture of two gnomes arm wrestling today, and immediately adorned it with aliens. http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/3429/img0321small9og.jp g

kingofpain (March 19, 2006)

I had one of those lame rip-off ones, too. I also had a real Tamagotchi and never thought it was that great.

allison_le_gnome (March 19, 2006)

It was shaped like a dino egg, and it died like 20 times. I never kept it alive more than a few hours.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

i had a lame ripoff tamagotchi that was from jurassic park 2 or 3.. i don't really remember anything but it crapping all the time.

iconoclast (March 19, 2006)

haha, wow. i totally forgot about tamagotchi's. i never had one. its so crazy to think of all the fads that come and go.

GreenVandal (March 18, 2006)

thats not fugazi....

Someone (March 18, 2006)

canadian tour in may!

Someone (March 19, 2006)

yeah edmonton and calgary

Someone (March 19, 2006)

yes!

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Someone (March 19, 2006)

yeah it starts in van and then on to edmonton and calgary......about fuckin time

Someone (March 19, 2006)

For the love of God someone post a link...any Winnipeg date?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

i hear it's with a wilhelm scream?!?!!?

allison_le_gnome (March 19, 2006)

It's weird... I don't really have a headache, but it's like I can hear my pulse and feel pressure in my inner ear. And I can't really breathe, but that's just asthma.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

are you an x-man? sounds like superpowers maturing

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Sounds like a sinus infection, dear.

skaboom (March 19, 2006)

Whoops, forgot to log in. By the way, I'm an idiot, so keep that in mind before taking medical advice from strangers over the interwebs.

allison_le_gnome (March 19, 2006)

Eh, that sounds about right. Great. I have to somehow manage to write a song about dirigibles (more specifically, their involvement in WWI) by tomorrow.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

dont rule out the x-man thing. thats better than a sinus infection

allison_le_gnome (March 19, 2006)

True. That would be totally awesome.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

I thought "off-topic comments [didn't] fly around these parts".

allison_le_gnome (March 19, 2006)

Who says I have to follow my own rules? They seem to for regular posters, anyway.

iconoclast (March 19, 2006)

yes, i agree. fuck rules, even if you make them up. haha.

DinoXcorE (March 19, 2006)

I used to LOVE lagwagon...

branden (March 19, 2006)

but now you like escape the fate?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

My mom says there's a lot of black people in Africa.

SalsaShark (March 19, 2006)

That's really cool that they're going over there. Does anyone know when dates will be announced for Lagwagon/Lawrence Arms/A Wilhelm Scream?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

at the end of may starting in canada

SalsaShark (March 19, 2006)

Where'd you find this out?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Lagwagon/Lawrence Arms/A Wilhelm Scream?!? I haven't heard anything about that, where?

SalsaShark (March 19, 2006)

Apparently, someone from the AWS confirmed that it's on. No dates yet. I can't wait. I really hope this thing comes to TX.

CUAPUNKRADIO (March 19, 2006)

Its an east coast tour

SalsaShark (March 19, 2006)

Please tell me you're kidding.

CUAPUNKRADIO (March 19, 2006)

nope

SalsaShark (March 19, 2006)

Where did you find out about this from?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

I don't know if it's only going to be an East Coast tour, but Lagwagon's myspace says "Look for us in Europe and East Coast this summer!" Hopefully they'll come west though, it would be a great show.

CUAPUNKRADIO (March 19, 2006)

i interviewed Brendan Kelly a few weeks ago and he said east coast tour with lag/aws

SalsaShark (March 19, 2006)

Oh, that Brendan Kelly. What a cad! haha Thanks for the info though. Hopefully they'll be inspired to add some extra dates. I'm apparently never going to see Lagwagon.

AlmostPunkEnough (March 19, 2006)

July 28th, BB Kings. i'll fuckin be there.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (March 19, 2006)

I was just watching tv one day when this show called "score" came on, it's a stupid show with that ryan cararbcbarbacarbacbarbcareerra guy, and if you don't know, it's about 2 guys/girls writing a song in a comptetion for winning a trip with one "hot" guy/girl who has to chose based on the song and can't see how the other person looks before choosing. Yeah, and the "omg hawt guy/girl" gives 4 words that has to be in the song, and this guy actually gave the words "salsa" and "shark", which later caused mr carabcbarbarbera to freak out all "SALSA SHARK!!1 ARAGHHAR!!!! SALSA SHARK!!!!". That was pretty weird, but pretty damn funny.

SalsaShark (March 19, 2006)

That fucking rules. Thanks for the info, man!

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Fuzigish is ska! ungh! nananana!

Someone (March 19, 2006)

WHERES THE FUCKING nAVEL GAZING??????????? hOW AM I GOING TO START MY wEEK. FUCK!!!!!11111!!!!1!!!!

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Sunday night. Patience, my pet.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

South Africa is for communists

Someone (April 6, 2006)

speaks the american fuck wad!!
you don't know jack bout sa....where the Americans make their business everybody elses. put your foot up your yankee ass.
presuming you are american......

Someone (March 19, 2006)

whats the word on the bad religion/lagwagon/smoke or fire tour??

Someone (March 19, 2006)

i didnt know smoke or fire was on the tour!!!..........amazing

Someone (March 19, 2006)

what when and where?!

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Smoke Or Fire is amazing, and if I was the kind of asshole that said that certain bands should "hang it up", it would be Bad Religion and Lagwagon. No fucking way I'm going to that show just to see Smoke Or Fire. Better tour would be: Dillinger Four / Lawrence Arms / None More Black / Smoke Or Fire.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

loser. BR and LW never should hang it up

NoControl (March 19, 2006)

if this is serious i will shit myself.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

oh its serious

Someone (March 19, 2006)

a willy scream, protest the hero canadian tour in april, thats pretty solid.

Someone (March 19, 2006)

i sense a nofx western canadian tour in the works

LevitateMe (March 19, 2006)

Fugazi?

AlmostPunkEnough (March 19, 2006)

good for South Africa.

Cheesetits (March 19, 2006)

Snakes on a Plane?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

I thought they already have aids. Why go for more?

Someone (March 19, 2006)

hahahhaa

sceneupdates (March 19, 2006)

The AIDS jokes are fucking lame, but anyways Yes we do have a scene here, over 50-60 bands actually. Anyways its fucking gay that Lagwagon are playing at over 18 venues and I heard tickets are going to cost around $30

Someone (March 19, 2006)

aids jokes are "lame" but saying something is fucking gay is cool. nice

sceneupdates (March 19, 2006)

Oh yeah and NOFX are also coming down sometime

fox82 (March 19, 2006)

So, are bands in South Africa racist towards black people? No offense or anything, but most white South African's I've met in the UK lean on the right.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (March 19, 2006)

Ok, so leaning on the right has anything do to with being racist? Thanks for the info!

Someone (March 19, 2006)

Of course it does, you thick fuck!

Someone (March 19, 2006)

you are an idiot

Someone (March 19, 2006)

it's not a if you're ___, then you're____ kind of deal but most racists as far as i know stand on the right, albeit the extreme right. if that doesn't apply to you, then congratulations.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (March 19, 2006)

Yeah, by that logic, if some people of a certain race are doing bad thing, every person of that race is doing bad things. You see, it works both ways!

FuckYouOiOiOi (March 19, 2006)

so you're saying all blacks kill and all mexicans steal just because some of them do?!? this just proves that all right-leaners are racists!

davecropknox (March 20, 2006)

that's why tey're in the UK and not south africa anymore

Someone (March 19, 2006)

I love Lagwagon

Dubar (March 20, 2006)

for anyone who has no idea who fuzigish is they're an a really fun ska band thats local to south africa. They've got at least 2-3 albums so and are worth checking out.

davecropknox (March 20, 2006)

with all the problems of ethnic strife, pandemic AIDS and abject poverty this is just what they need over there.......american pop punk!

Someone (March 30, 2006)

What the hell are you people on about?Im a white South African and feel slighty offened by your un-educated, off-hand remarks.I mean, do you really believe all white South African people are racist?And do have to compare us to the US at all? Please dont do that. Its almost as bad as comparing us to Canadians... ethnic strife?This isnt Bosnia, our country is actually doing very well.We´ve learned to do something no other country has even tried - celebrate our differences instead of trying to make everyone the same, because were not and never will be. You guys sit over there in your pretty little 1st world country telling us that that white people and black people are the same,have you met a black AFRICAN?This is a different world over here,one you can´t possibly imagine where food is expensive and life is cheap. So please, do yourselves a favour and ´Stay on topic´. Lagwagon, I thi

Are you guys all completely ignorant idiots or are you just kidding around. Come on ….South Africa is for Communists? So, are bands in South Africa racist towards black people? No offence or anything, but most white South African's I've met in the UK lean on the right? Don’t be trapped in your little introspective bubbles. No South Africa is not for communists…yes black people were oppressed by the previous government but they weren’t shipped over here from their home country to pick cotton. And no…the bands are not racist towards black people. Some of the bands actually have black people in the band and the people you meet in the UK from South Africa are usually rich farmer’s kids that have been brought up by their parents that are still stuck in the old regime and think that black people are their door mats and are sub human. Please people, I am begging you, don’t be so self

He speaketh truth.
The irony of the comments when the folk commenting should take a very good look at what their country is doing now rather than what happened in ours a long time ago!!

Fuzigish and KFC? Really? I wouldn't have thought that....not with Nando's around anyway.

Someone (April 25, 2006)

thanks man. i think most foreigners think that everybody here lives between zebra's and lions. i think lagwagon are going to enjoy the tour a shit load!

Someone (May 15, 2006)

Sad to say but tis too true about fuzi and kfc...go to www.fuzigish.com and check out there forum. its posted under the topic KFC.
