Tonight i'm hitting the town with some other good-looking lads - Desmond and the Tutus.
If you're picturing Desmond Tutu slappin' some bass, surrounded by a skinheads in leather jackets (or possibly tutus), you're a little off. Believe me, i've made this mistake.
They're a South African band, originally from Pretoria, and apparently their genre of music is "kwela-indie-pop-rock"...take from that what you will. Anyhoo, one of their cool quirks is their obsession with girls who look like boys, and/or have boys names. Their song 'Peter' is about a girl who was named as such because her dad was desperate for a son, and was instead given 13 girls. eish. 'Your Girlfriend' focuses on a girlfriend who looks like a dude, namely Willie Nelson. Now he's an OLD dude. Cute, but I don't think i'd like to be mistaken for an 78-year old country western singer/songwriter. At least not until I lose my teeth, in which case it might be cool to look like someone famous guy.
So i'm donning my shirt and boy boots and jamming my face off to some gender-confused music. Hells yeah!
Check out their one and only video, its for 'Peter':
