At the end of last year we attempted to sum up the whole of 2011 in 60 seconds for a song we wrote for DSTV.  It ended up being so fast that when we recorded it we had an ambulance on standby in case anyone needed to be rushed to hospital during a take.  Needless to say that ambulance made quite a few trips that day, and some of our band members are still hooked up to ventilators.  But it turns out there is someone who can actually sing this song without needing to be raised from the dead afterwards, and here she is...

We’ve just realised we have a newsletter, so we’re going to attempt to keep you up to date until we forget about the newsletter again.  Much like Kim Kardashians’ wedding, this might be rather short lived.  Unlike her wedding, this probably won’t make the tabloids. Not even on a slow week would The Voice ever publish, ‘Brothers Streep Remember They Have A Newsletter’. It’s hard when you’re competing with things like ‘Priest Says Elvis Speaks Through My Cucumber’ or something like that.

Our performance of We’re Never Going To Be (SA Idols) at the Idols Finale has finally made it onto YouTube.  And because it’s a bit karaoke in nature, there’s now an easy way you can learn the words and sing-a-long.  Long-time Streep fans will know that lyric memory loss is something I suffer from, so I might just give it another watch myself...

We love a challenge.  But when we were sent a huge list of DStv’s highlights of the year and were asked to write a song using as many of them as possible whilst giving room for it to be serious, sombre, poignant, irreverent, celebratory, whimsical, playful and happy... all in 60 seconds... we’d be lying if we said we wondered whether it was actually possible.

We survived our first COSMO interview without having to reveal our hair, make-up and summer dresses tips.  If you’d like to read the full article it’s in their December issue (pg 78) which is on sale now.
