Chatting to Francois ahead of Fokofpolisiekar’s latest gig.

I had the opportunity to ask Francois Van Coke of legendary band, Fokofpolisiekar a few questions ahead of their upcoming gig at Kirstenbosch.

The band is “very stoked” to be playing Kirstenbosch again. The last show Fokof played Kirstenbosch in 2008 has been described as “the stuff of legend” Francois says this show will be compare to the other as “we had a bit of time to prepare and the band toured together in Dec, so if everything goes according to plan it will kick ass.”

He says “I was really disappointed that we didn’t play last year. So, obviously we want to bring the goods this year. It a beautiful venue and we can’t wait.”

With regards to material he explains “the last time we did Kirstenbosch we started with a acoustic set and it turned into a full on rock show. I think we are going to try and find a middle ground this time around, with hard rock and acoustic stuff mixed all the way through the show…”

He’s most looking forward to playing “Ek Skyn(Heilig)’ as it’s always gonna kick ass at Kirstenbosch.”

I personally can’t wait for Sunday to come already so I can rock out. Who is joining me?

p.s. If you haven’t gotten your tickets you can get them here.
