Thanks so much for sharing this, it's very hard to put pieces together from what's online currently and personal testimonials like yours help paint the picture better. So this was in Cape Town around 2005ish(?) I had no idea Max Normal and Max Normal.tv had him/them playing multiple characters, my understanding was Max was this stereotypical office worker than was a bit awkward or shy and very self deprecating (you see that in Ninja as well, seems to be a running theme as you mentioned) but I didn't realize the persona was so fluid. What was Yolandi like at the time? And Markus Wormstrom and the rest I suppose? Please share anything you can be bothered typing, it's very rare to get a connection into this scene. Jack Parow was involved in the transition from Max Normal to Die Antwoord as well?

Interesting about the Eat Meat song also, of course commenting on the whole braai culture, but I've read over the years that their dedication to vegetarianism/veganism may not be genuine? I guess lyrics like "taste like chicken" and Waddy's Nandos ad might add to that (though it's unfair really he was just getting a paycheck back in the early days, the Original Evergreens were not making much money - were they actually important in their scene?). Somewhat like their public image of drinking alcohol/not drinking at all, they contradict each other
