We have a few announcements today. Firstly, Goldfish have followed the trend set by The Dirty Skirts and have given 2oceansvibe the exclusive release of their new music video, Cruising Through .

Let’s have a look at that, and then we’ll check out the email I received from Goldfish (currently in Brazil), as well as the South African Music Awards.

You’ll enjoy this video. It’s shot around Cape Town and features Sakhile (the man behind the voice) as the stressed-out 9 to 5er, showing his existence compared to that of the two Goldfish boys, Dom and Dave – as they cruise around Cape Town chilling out, surfing and living the holiday.

The only way to do it.

Pretty sick!

Check out this email I got from Goldfish yesterday:

Hey Seth,

Greetings from Brazil where the Fishies are flying the Flag out here. Sun, warm water and Samba. It’s not all bad… Seriously though, Brazil is completely off the chain and we’ve been having a blast. Locked in to some cooking surf and Caipirinhas on the beach in Buzios, a party town 2 hrs north of Rio. The Brazilians are amazing people and sure know how to party, always a bit weird though when you start playing your first Goldfish track in a town you’ve never heard of before and the crowd starts singing the words right back to you!

Still have some dates in Brasilia, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte before we head back on Saturday for the South African Music Awards at Sun City.

We were wondering if we could give you the exclusive on our new video for Cruising Through (featuring Sak on vocals)? It is of us living the holiday.

Hope you approve.

Love from the Fishies.

Dom and Dave

Shame, poor babies! I certainly do approve and hope you boys Samba yourselves into a coma.

Now, back to the South African Music Awards (SAMA’s) – I need to make you all very aware that Goldfish are up for a record breaking 8 SAMA’s – the most ever in the 15 year history of the awards! Not bad for a couple of Cape Town boys who started out all those years ago on the Camps Bay strip at Baraza.

Oh my God, I just had a little look and found one of the early articles I wrote about Goldfish in 2004, during their Baraza days. The heading is “BARAZA – CAMPS BAY” and the sub-heading is “Enjoy these goons.”

CLICK HERE to check it out. It features this photograph.

Early Goldfish
Too adorable for words!

Can you cope? I can’t.

One of the awards that they are up for, Song Of The Year, is decided by public vote. So to give them a bit of love (which you know you should), sms ‘M’ to 083 123 SAMA to make the Fishies Gold!

Don’t forget to watch the awards on saturday at 20h00 on SABC 1, where The dirty Skirts are also up for an award – Best Rock Album! Hating that!
