The show was 10 out of 10 in performance and visuals. He performed 'Enter the Ninja' and 'Zef Boner' and even staged dived a few times. Sixteen Jones made an appearance and introduced a song where Ninja comes out dressed in a black suit. Ninja had an awesome presence and energy.

She is full of spunk and attitude on songs like 'Daddy' and 'Fat Faded Fuck'. Yolandi ruled the stage with numerous costume changes and gave a little speech about her Gucci dress. The visuals were beautifully choreographed with the pumping bass and awesomeness of 'God' aka DJHITek. The opening of the show was dramatic music and lighting and they opened with 'We have candy'.

The music changes from Rage against the Machine to Crime Mob and finishes with a nod to the late singer of Linkin Park. The opening act was 'Lil2Hood' who did a dj set that rocked. The Die Antwoord show at Ths Shrine was nothing short of amazing.

Friday’s performance was a perfect showcase of what Die Antwoord does so well: themselves. After a short rave interlude, Die Antwoord were back on stage for a one track encore of their earliest hit Enter The Ninja, which had the whole room chanting with arms in the air. While a large portion of the show was dedicated to past hits, they did manage to squeeze in a few new tracks including standouts Pitbull Terrier, which lends itself particularly well in a live setting, and Happy Go Sucky F*cky, which was positively bonkers. Over 2300 fans shouting “jump motherf*cker, jump motherf*cker, jump!” while jumping up and down is quite the sight to see. The sheer energy they were giving kept the crowd jumping throughout the entire performance, especially during standout hit I Fink U Freeky. Two dancers jumped onstage during Wat Pomp and stayed for most of the night, which was a great addition but hardly necessary as the trio was entertaining enough on its own. The peppered their performance with a couple of shouts of “MONTREALLLL” (funnily enough the first time they were in Montreal, Ninja made it clear he had no clue where he was) and a few French words, but the night was all about the beats and the rhymes. The crowd was already sold from the get-go and they didn’t even need to try, but the trio didn’t let up once during the hour and thirty minutes they performed. As soon as they kicked off Wat Kyk Jy? though, you knew this was going to be an all outrager of a show. After over 20 minutes of orchestral music and religious chants, Die Antwoord’s unsung hero DJ Hi-Tek sauntered out to perform DJ Hi-Tek Rules before being joined by Yo-Landi Vi$$er and Ninja, clad in neon orange glow in the dark tracksuits, who jumped straight into Fok Julle Naaiers. Whereas their first Montreal gig at Le National, a double bill that included New York noise pop duo Sleigh Bells, saw the crowd in discovery mode, this third outing was filled to the brim with Die Antwoord adepts. On tour promoting their recently released third LP Donker Mag, the South African rap-rave trio were in fine form. The band have toured to arena venues, played intimate venues, and still tour today, performing selections of their music from Pitbull Terrier, all the way back to their earliest work.ĭie Antwoord at Metropolis - 06/06/14 Considering the show was sold out months in advance, it should come as no surprise that Die Antwoord were welcomed by a very vocal, and very eclectic, crowd at the Montreal Metropolis on Friday night. Ninja, the band’s lead vocalist had been part of the hip hop culture and scene since a young age, and experimented extensively with recording and music production, assisting the group when they made the decision to form their own label.Īs well as their own music, they have collaborated with other artists such as Roger Ballen, the photographer who inspired the zef movement, and heavily assisted with the successful Enter The Ninja. The band’s success encouraged them to form their own record label, which has now been running fruitfully since 2010, and they have released their most recent albums under the label, Zef Records. The band consists of Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er, and DJ Hi-Tek, and also when the band tour, Vuilgeboost, an additional DJ accompanies and plays alongside the band. The trio released their first album $O$ independently without a record label back in 2009, and since it received much attention and critical acclaim, especially due to their music video Enter the Ninja, the band have achieved much international success.
