OK, so what’s happening June 11th 2010 – like we don’t know? The FIFA World Cup in South Africa – exactly one month away. With Nelson Mandela presiding over proceedings, this is quite a significant World Cup for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is being held on the African Continent for the 1st time and secondly, in amongst artists such as Alicia Keys and the Black Eyed Peas is South Africa’s own Parlotones.
So who are the Parlotones? They kicked of their career in 2003 and today have become the biggest selling band in South Africa. Lean more here:

Marina Bunzl has conducted a wonderful and relaxed interview with the band. Unlike the contrived tosh that gets served these days as music interviews, it’s refreshing to see this London based journalist carry it off (in amongst some tweets) with such aplomb. One nil Marina!
