about

Op 'Die Saai Lewe' vat Die Naaimasjiene die luisteraar op 'n reis deur dit waarvan ons elke dag lees, hoor en op TV sien: die verleidelikheid van versmaaide plattelandse skoonhede in die Wimpy Bar, owerspel, gesinsmoord, naastehaat teenoor randfigure en ander verstotenes, hoere sonder 'n toekoms, junkies sonder hoop, iemand met hunkeringe na 'n vervloë bestaan as rugbyspeler in die skool (die liedjie 'Waar is alles heen'), hopelose hornyness in roadhouses en op highways, reën in die strate van Hillbrow, spaceships, die ontwortelde bestaan van bywoners, 'n funky president in die dae toe so iets nog bestaan het, 'n magsjags generaal, misdaad, moord.

"My ambisie in die lewe is nie om 'n popsanger te word nie," sê Dokter Boomslang. "Die storie van Die Saai Lewe gaan maar basically oor 'n ou wat as 'n outsider grootgeword het en as 'n bywoner rondgeleef het op verskillende plekke in die oorgangsfase van die Ou na die Nuwe Suid-Afrika. Ek onthou die Afrikaanse popliedjies van toe ek klein was, soos 'Liefling', 'Die padda wou gaan opsit', 'Aai-aai' (die eerste song op Laurika Rauch se debuutalbum) en 'Ek verlang na jou' (Sonja Herholdt se eerste treffer). Die storie is 'n klankdokument van een persoon se lewe van 1989 tot 1996."

'Die Saai Lewe' is die eerste keer deur Lloyd Ross van Shifty Records uitgereik op hulle Budgie Beat-reeks.
Nadat die verbod in 1996 opgehef is en met 'n ouderdomsbeperking vervang is, is nog sewe liedjies opgeneem danksy die hulp en bystand van Eckard Potgieter van Wildebeest Records en in 1997 op CD uitgereik. Hierdie is die amptelike digitale hermeesterde weergawe van die 1997-weergawe van die album en is eksklusief beskikbaar op Bandcamp onder die sambreel BoomslangKlanke.

Behalwe die album 'DIe saai lewe' is ons jongste drie singles ook nou beskikbaar - 'Trumpocalypse', 'O Pieleplaas' en 'Vakansietyd in Hartenbos'. Die musiekvideo van 'Trumpocalypse' is beskikbaar op YouTube. Dit alles gaan in die komende weke en maande gevolg word deur nog drie singles en dan 'n nuwe album.

Speel hard!
