Moshing around whilst getting down?

No comment yet
Kwaicore, the music genre that is causing a revolution of rebellious collaboration is yet to a live gig and lets hope Durbs is the first to host one. The music is made up of two completely different genres and will see the coming together of two completely different audiences. Although the gigs will bring together the true rainbow nation that South Africa is known for I can't help but wonder what the reaction will be. How does one dance to Kwaicore?

The rockers:

Hardcore punk rock music constitutes for agression, neck spraining head-banging and brutal moshing during particularly fast paced songs. No, we are not trying hurt each other, in fact the mosh pit is a place of extreme love. The action of moshing exerts your love of pounding heavy aggressive music in the most brutally physical way that is still legal this side of the equator. It's all a rather friendly high paced interaction of shoving, punching, pushing and kicking. An elaborate expression of appreciation for the artists. The pits are not dangerous and rules are that if someone falls down, fellow rockers will pick them up and push them to safety. Moshing is a lot like life, you get pushed down and punched but you get back up again, dust off the dirt and carry on.

Watch out!:

If the crowd suddenly divides into two columns and any song as hardcore as Lamb of god's "black label" plays I sincerely suggest you move out the way. After the kick thousands of bodies rush at each at full speed resulting in high impact collisions and the atomic bomb of all mosh pits.

The Townshippers:

I don't know much, but this is what I've heard.. Pantsula is the name of the dance traditionally associated  with the Kwaito music genre that set the South African youth free from parental dominance and it gave them freedom without prejudice. The Pantsula dance is described as a flat footed African tap-and-glide style of dance. The Zulu word "pantsula" means to "waddle like a duck or alternatively to walk with protruded buttocks," which is a characteristic of the dance.

So is this going to be a mosh pit full of violent, angry and abrasive wobbling ducks? 
Thats me in the mosh pit...
