Goldfish take a crack at the US via Kia ad
Posted on 10. Mar, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry in Totally Whack
You've heard them on that Supersport ad, more recently on the MTN 2010 ad with a remix of their track 'Hold Tight' and now Cape Town electro-jazz legends Goldfish have cracked the US commercial market in a Kia Soul ad with 'Fort Knox'.
According to Adrants:
of the commercial. At the end of the spot when the Soul window rolls
down, music is heard. Each of the five spots will features a different
artist.
If you've disrespected yourself enough to take in the local version of Idols you'd be forgiven for thinking that the local music scene is utter crap. In fact it's just the editing, presenting, judging, production and general idea of the local Idols offering that should at all costs be ignored and kept well away from any tourists visiting our shores.
Rather slip a copy of 'Perceptions of Pacha' into their wine-stained hands, or a ticket to the upcoming Cape Town Jazz festival [3-4 April - that's not the Easter Weekend @ the CTICC - BTW Incognito are also playing that event] or maybe offer a link through to Timothy Moloi's acoustic Youtube sessions, a kind collection of souled up covers by Timothy Moloi, which have all been filmed and put together for a Youtube pre-release of the album due out at the end of May.
We're personally enjoying this cover of the One Republic track Apologize. [thanks James]

If you can turn on DSTV, and not hear a Goldfish song playing, you should win a prize!
But seriously, I am so stoked for these guys. I was at school with Dom, and remember going to watch them when they were just starting out at Baraza in Camps Bay.
It’s actually ridiculous how big they’re getting, but good-ridiculous…
