 Alternative Afrikaans rockers VAN COKE KARTEL are one of the headlining acts this years Ultrafest. Johan De Kock and Francois Van Coke chat about their new album and the up coming gig. You're about to release your brand new album entitled "Wie's Bang" very soon, tell us a bit about the album, what can fans expect from the album? Some of the same full on, no holds barred, melt your face Rock & Roll or are there some surprises? Ja, the album is full of surprises. After Jedd and Jason joined the band we have so many more options and can do so much more, cause they are really good. There is obviously our normal balls to the wall Rock 'n Roll on the album, but we tried to write a wide variety of songs. Songs at different tempo's and in different keys etc. So, we wrote a great ballad for the first time. There is some mellow tunes on the album. Overall, we think it is a great listening experience. While there is no doubt, that Van Coke Kartel have upped their game to a whole new level since the addition of the extremely talented Jedd and Jason, the band is fronted by two of SA's most well known faces in Wynand Myburgh and Francois Van Coke. Is it ever intimidating getting on a stage with 2 guys that have built up such an extreme following? These guys don't answer interviews, they are lazy. I am sure they are intimidated playing with me and Wynand. haha. Having got married, less than a month ago, Wynand is the first of the guys in the band to tie the knot, does this mean Van Coke Kartel are slowly settling down, one by one or do you think you guys will be rockers till the day you die, and your kids will carry on the legacy? We might be settling down, but we can't just change and take a office job tomorrow. I think we love playing music and will be playing music in some shape or form for years to come.
