Pitchfork asks “Who the Hell Are Die Antwoord?”

via Who the Hell Are Die Antwoord?.

On the surface, Die Antwoord are simply the latest in a never-ending line of “did ya see that?!” blog-hopping music memes. Made up of lead MC Ninja (Jones), singer-rapper-sexpot Yo-Landi Vi$$er, linebacker-sized mute DJ Hi-Tek, and progerian survivor and artist Leon Bartha, the group made their live debut a year ago. But it wasn’t until Boing Boing posted their music video for “Enter the Ninja” and a quasi-documentary called “Zef Side” on February 1 of this year that they shot ahead of acts like Animal Collective, Pavement, and Wilco on Google Trends. Soon after, Fred Durst and Katy Perry were typing their praises on Twitter.
