30 Seconds to the Coke side of life
So by now you’ve probably heard that the Golden Circle tickets for MY COKE FEST are all SOLD OUT more than 2 months before the concert! It’s been a while since there’s been such buzz around a big concert in ZA – nice one! Hope you got your tickets rockers – we’re sure the true fans would have been first in line anyway. Just in case you didn’t know yet and you need the extra push to get buying before the pleb tickets are sold out, Jared Leto and his band 30 Seconds to Mars have also joined in the mega show – what a treat! Here’s more: Coca-Cola South Africa (Pty) Ltd and 5fm are thrilled to reveal the latest addition to the mind blowing line-up of international and local bands performing at MY COKE FEST 08. The already epic festival, kicks off at Johannesburg’s New Market Racecourse on Friday the 21st, and heads to Cape Town’s Kenilworth Racecourse on Monday the 24th of March. In true “Coke side of life” standard, the 2-date, 12-hour, adrenalin fuelled festival, brought to you by Coca-Cola and official radio partner 5fm, in association with Big Concerts, features the hottest line-up to date. Already announced are SA favourites PRIME CIRCLE, US Rock sensation GOOD CHARLOTTE, Britain’s KAISER CHIEFS, Sound Garden and Audioslave front-man CHRIS CORNELL, “Supermassive” MUSE, and the Grammy-winning KOЯN. …And now, the platinum-selling 30 SECONDS TO MARS confirm their place on the coveted bill. In 2002, 30 Seconds to Mars released its self-titled debut album, offering up a bold experiment in atmosphere and imagination. Emerging seemingly overnight, the progressive-leaning, multi-faceted, art-rock outfit had actually spent the better part of a decade on the road and literally years in the studio with legendary producer Bob Ezrin, who joined the band in bringing their vision to fruition. With the release of this project, sometimes called “Welcome to the Universe”, they travelled the world, played over 300 shows and eventually began writing new material along the way. With 2005’s A Beautiful Lie, 30 Seconds to Mars explored a more confessional sonic landscape and progressive, multi-tracked passages gave way to leaner, far more impacting constructs. It wasn’t a concept album per se, but it was certainly conceptual, unravelling like chapters from a spellbinding novel about a man on the precipice of collapse who must confront his own humanity, overcome immense challenges and embrace inevitable change in order to move forward. Revolver praised its “echoing riffs, moody bass lines, and strong vocal melodies” while Alternative Press said, “they just might be rock’s best-kept secret.” The secret’s out. A Beautiful Lie has gone Platinum, unleashing a...

She is an extraordinary poet, rapper and singer. Describing her art as her “inner guide to personal freedom”, she started writing when she was 12 years old – attending poetry and hip hop shows religiously. Having become an avid reader, she fell in love with words and discovered their power to shape all of existence. She believes that “the word is the strongest medium because not only does it speak to the mind, it also speaks to the soul.” She started performing as an emcee before she did as a poet, at cyphers in Ghandi Square and at Le Club. She believes that hip hop served as an unlimited resourced in her life, constantly providing her with challenges and the strength to deal with her own reality. She then started rapping in different venues and became one of the first female emcees that the Jozi hip hop community paid attention to, often being the only female alongside male emcees. She is currently working on her own album which is due for release in June 2008 and is featured on other hip hop projects such as, the Abomrapper II and the Classix compliation albums, also due for release in 2008.
