Have you seen this girl??

Shame, regret, dismay, disillusionment, embarrassment, indignity and remorse are the feelings I’m not experiencing right now, no siree after the long weekend with my girls and the band I feel only contentment.

Let me summarise:


On Saturday night Mandy’s disappearance at Wolmer taught us all the value of a good friend and that we should never leave blow-up dolls unattended in the Pretoria North area. So sad..

She was our recorder player, she was our friend, Mandy, so young she still had her hygienic seals in tact, we love you wherever you are.

Playing 3 killer shows in as many nights made me grateful that I have such a great life. I don’t mean to sound boastful (or say “great” too much), but my life is great, it really is. Sure I work, *insert all of life's other unpleasantries here* and all that jazz but come weekends (and most public holidays) I’m cloaked in music and attempting to embody the spirit of rock ‘n roll - what ever that means, all I know is that it's a highly enjoyable undertaking.

Playing so much is coincidentally also improving our playing skills making them all the better to rock you with. Cha Ching!

There were so many highlights this weekend but I’d mostly like to thank everyone who was right up there with us boogieing down to our music, attempting to embody the rock ‘n roll spirit with us. We feel the love big time!

Loandi sommer wants to do naked star jumps for free!

High-5’s all around!

Until next weekend

Peace in the Middle East

“All the money in the world and you’re still a douche… a work in progress”:

All the money in the world and you’re still a douche

I know my reasons but what’s your excuse

All the money in the world and you’re still a douche

Just learn to love your bad teeth and big tush

All the money in the world and you’re still a douche

White S.L.K and a scrunchie to boot

All the money in the world and you’re still a douche

That’s why I’m going to the voting booth


I’ll never know why some suffer and some don’t

Why the rich get richer and the poor get broke

All I know is that I’m happy with what I’ve got

And money will never buy the things that I’m not


Why are you defined by these material things?

Sense of self attached to the amount that you bling

If you eat lots of chillies your anus will sting

We’re all the same if you look under our skin


KICK IT!


All the money in the world and you’re still a douche

I know my reasons but what’s your excuse

All the money in the world and you’re still a douche

Just learn to love your bad teeth and big tush

All the money in the world and you’re still a douche

White S.L.K and a scrunchie to boot

All the money in the world and you’re still a douche

Wah wah wah waaaaaah


Yeah so it’s a little rough around the edges –hey! - you try finding words that rhyme with “douche”. But that’s how Cortina Whiplash rolls, never daunted by a seemingly futile undertaking, we always persevere!


All douching aside though, things in the Cortina Whiplash camp are crazier than ever, brinjals, noughts, bruises, mosh pits, you name it - it’s happening. I think finally people are starting to hear what we’re saying which is: “Let go of your inhibitions! Liberate your body and mind, make an ass of yourself and enjoy it! And most of all don’t be afraid because Cortina Whiplash will be there to lead by example.

And to those of you who never had any inhibitions to start with (Joburgers), we salute you!


Until next time.
