Meet KAHN & The Parlotones
www.realestateavenue.co.za web ref: 103552237
AWSUMCelebrity Interview
KAHN & The Parlotones The Parlotones is one of South Africa’s most loved and successful bands, with multi-platinum album status and major international acclaim and fans. Lead singer and songwriter Kahn Morbee’s lyrics focus on personal themes of love and everyday life, paired with catchy melodies that engage their audience. Formed in 1998, the group consists of Kahn (vocals and rhythm guitar), Paul Hodgson (lead guitar), Glenn Hodgson (bass guitar, keyboards and backing vocals) and Neil Pauw (drums and percussion). AWSUM News caught up with Kahn and the band whilst on their countrywide tour ‘The Stories Behind the Songs’.
Q: Many of your lyrics have multiple layers of meaning. Tell us about the new show, the title of which is very intriguing and seems to talk to your lyrics. A: ‘The Stories Behind the Songs’ tour is part of a book that we are working on, in which each band member shares a memory of every single album we have done from the start. Q: What was the inspiration for the concept of the book and the show? A: Creating music that resonates with our fans is something that we are very proud of and we are looking forward to sharing the method behind our madness when it comes to the processes and ideas behind constructing each and every song, be it the different paths in life we have travelled, to the experiences and adventures. Q: How did The Parlotones happen? A: We started jamming as a garage band in 1998. We can’t believe that we have been jamming together for 16 years already! We feel like family members. Q: Kahn, you have embarked on a solo career as well. How did that come about? A: I thought it was time to start working on my own unique sound, but I’m still involved with The Parlotones. I am known only as Kahn for my solo performances and am pursuing a more introspective, personal approach to my craft. Q: What were some highlights of the journey as The Parlotones? A: One of our favourite memories of the early years was when the band performed at the Coca-Cola Dome in 2009. We became the first South African band to sell out at the Dome, with about 13 000 fans attending that show. Another proud moment was when we performed at the opening concert of the 2010 FIFA World Cup with famous artists like The Black Eyed Peas and Shakira.
Paul, Kahn, Glenn and Neil
Q What was your earliest success, when you considered yourself to be ‘on the map’? A Our first album launch. It was very exciting and we felt a sense of accomplishment for something we’d dreamt of. Our first award was also a proud moment, because it meant approval and kind of eradicated a lot of doubt and gave us a belief and confidence in ourselves. Q: Kahn, how did your iconic show make-up happen? A: A couple of years ago we did a show at a cosmopolitan party and we played with eight other bands. We wanted to stand out and be remembered, so I applied the make-up and it has been a hit ever since. Q Tell us a bit about your international footprint. A We have toured internationally since 2007, spending months on the road in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and North America. We have also shared the stage with Coldplay, Starsailor, Snow Patrol, Live, Ash, Razorlight, Blue October, Violent Femmes, Imagine Dragons, and many more. Q Kahn, your songwriting prowess and stage presence has garnered you a huge fan base. How do you keep inspired? A On stage, I remind myself that I’ve been blessed to be able to do what I love and I need to show the audience that. Wether it’s 40 or 40 000 people. I think that I kind of take on an alter ego when I perform because I want people to feel a quick fix of freedom before the trappings of real life re-emerge. I love biographies because real-life stories of people help me relate that to my life and inspire me. I love books on science, arts, philosophy, religion, belief systems, economics and politics, because they all try to explain our existence from a different perspective and I find it fascinating.

Klein Boishaai Ultra Rugbytoernooi
Preparing for the Rugby Season ahead
Op Saterdag, 25 Maart het 26 spanne van verskeie skole in die provinsie deelgeneem aan ons jaarlikse Ultra Rugbytoernooi, waar die spelers kragte gemeet het in verskeie rugbykodes. Dit was Klein Boishaai se 25ste Rugbydag. Daar is vanjaar weer aan hierdie unieke toernooi deelgeneem in 7’s, 10’s en die 15-man kodes. Vanjaar het daar 13 skole deelgeneem vanuit alle uithoeke van die Wes-Kaap. Goeie rugby is met baie entoesiasme en energie gespeel. Daar was 26 deelnemende spanne in die ouderdomsgroepe 0.10, 0.11 en 0.13. Die heerlike koel weer het dit vir ons spelers maklik gemaak om nie moeg te word nie. Die spelers het vir groot vermaak gesorg in al drie die kodes van rugby.
Paarl Boys’ Primary u.13B rugby team went on their annual rugby tour to Riebeeck Kasteel during the holidays. Although we faced A teams, we never stop fighting, as only Boishaaiers can do! Winning two games out of five was a tremendous accomplishment, as was narrowly losing 0–5 to Windhoek Gim. The festival is played in a great spirit where the scores are never announced.
Graad R Atletiekdag Elke jaar bied ons ‘n Atletiekdag aan spesiaal vir die Graad Rseuns en nooi ook dan die meisies van Klein Larries en Girls’ High om te kom deel in die pret. Hulle neem deel aan “hekkies”, naellope en aflos. Dit is baie pret en die ouers kom ondersteun graag die opkomende atlete.
LAERSKOOL NOORD-EIND (t) 021 872 4237 (e) admin@noordeind.co.za SA Kampioenskappe Baie geluk aan Kealan Milton wat spog met brons in die 80m, silwer in verspring en goud vir Aflos by die SA Kampioenskappe in Potchefstroom. Baie trots op jou!

Noord-Eind het al drie wedstryde wat hulle gespeel het, gewen. • Noord-Eind 17 – Piketberg 7 • Noord-Eind 32 – Porterville 19 • Noord-Eind 28 – Vredenburg 7 Die seuns het pragtige hardlooprugby gespeel en die skool se naam hoog gehou. Baie dankie aan almal vir die ondersteuning die naweek.

Martyn le Roux
Entrepreneurskap Ons het die afgelope kwartaal Windmeul Wynkelder besoek, waar keldermeester Danie Marais ons deur die hele kelder geneem het om die wynmaakproses van nader te besigtig. Dit was ‘n baie interessante ervaring om te sien hoe kompleks dit is om wyn te maak en hoe baie mense betrokke is by die verskillende stadiums van wynmaak. Ons het ook besoek afgelê by Incanda (leer- en houtmeubel- winkel) wat hulle eie meubels vervaardig en African Leather, sy sustermaatskappy. Eienaar Gerhard van Deventer het vertel hoe hy die suksesvolle besigheid met R5 000 op die balkon van ‘n klein woonstel begin het. As mens sien hoe fluks hulle nou sake doen is dit ‘n enorme inspirasie. Sy raad aan entrepreneurs was om jou personeel goed te kies, te leer uit jou foute en van jou passie ‘n besigheid te maak – dan sal jou besigheid floreer. Entrepreneursklublede woon elke week ‘n teorieklas by wat die ontwikkeling van ‘n sakeplan en besigheid behandel en dan die daaropvolgende week besoek ons ‘n suksesvolle maatskappy om te sien hoe die besigheidsbeginsels in die praktyk toegepas word.
Baie geluk aan mnr. Martyn le Roux wat vir ‘n ATKV-mediaveertjie vir sy radiodrama Dagboek van ‘n wurm genomineer is. Hy het verlede jaar die Veertjie vir Bloedlyn gewen.
