The Show Diaries - Felicia Mabuza Suttle Tribute Show

[ Posted on 8 February 2010 in Streep by Tim S. Streep ]

(thanks to Nikki Streep for photos during the set!)

In calling this show 'The Felicia Mabuza Suttle Tribute' show, we caused some confusion - several people thought Felicia, an ex-talk show host, was in fact dead, and we were paying tribute to her. This is understandable, as not many people have tribute shows done for them while they are alive. As far as we're aware, Felicia is still very much alive, but couldn't attend the show for various reasons. Mainly because no one invited her. Shame on us all.

The Other Musical Adventures of The Brothers Streep #1

[ Posted on 3 February 2010 in Video by Simon Streep ]

Everyone has skeletons in their closet.  Metaphorically of course.  People that do actually have skeletons, tend to keep them in the basement.  I’m basing this observation purely on Norman Bates from Psycho, and not on any real life experience.  I don’t have a basement.

Anyways, all the members of the Brothers Streep have been involved in various other musical projects which might be viewed by others as ‘skeletons’ in our past.  This however would be an unfair judgement, as we all know the world was a better place when Would You Like Some Curry? was around, and when El Pistolos Streepos Amigos were gigging regularly.

The New Adventures of The Brothers Streep #4

[ Posted on 2 February 2010 in Newsletters by Simon Streep ]

Millions of people around the world are wondering what exactly is going to happen in the first episode of the final season of LOST which premieres tonight.  Now some of you might not want to know this, but SPOILER ALERT, this is the episode where you find out that Jack is just a inanimate piece of airplane shrapnel that has developed a conscious and wrongfully assumed it is a human.

Well, no, if you were expecting LOST Season Six spoilers, Google has let you down.  It’s time to actually find out what’s happening in the world of Streep this week...

The Show Diaries - Bottomup Cafe

[ Posted on 30 January 2010 in Streep by Tim S. Streep ]

(thanks to Tenille for photos during the set!)

Tonight's show was off the map, in two senses.

In the geographical sense, we were off the map (well, our usual travels anyway) playing at the Bottomup youth cafe in Fish Hoek, the beachfront suburb made famous in recent weeks for a fatal shark attack. Before you ask, yes, we did play our song Sharkman, and it went down very well. Especially well, since against all odds there was a girl there who not only had seen the film Sharkman (upon which the song is based), but actually cheered when we mentioned it. Simon very nearly climbed off the stage to hug her.

In the musical sense, we were off the map with some, ahem, different, versions of our songs, and probably the craziest random banter and stage antics we've ever pulled off on stage.

Steve

[ Posted on 29 January 2010 in Life by Simon Streep ]

I think it’s about time I wrote about my friend Steve Walter.  He is one of only fourteen people who have intentionally gone over the Niagara Falls in a barrel.  And that little fact, is probably one of the most uninteresting facts about Steve’s life.
