When Fridge Coaster found out I was doing a post on refrigerator organization, they offered to outfit my fridge for free. All opinions are 100% my own. Jen over at I Heart Organizing is hosting a four week organizing challenge.

Faith47 dallah's another top class mural in support of #FeesMustFall and has made it available for free download. Young women tell it how it is in a video documenting the current protests shaking the Mzansi. In person, Samkelo Mdolomba comes off as the kind of guy who grew up pulling pranks and telling other kids on the playground that their football skills are terrible.
On stage, with eyes half-closed or the cornea rolled back so far in his eye-sockets that all one can see are the whites of his eyeballs, he comes off as a tad shy. Yet he is convincing, so much so that at all of the performances I’ve witnessed, the crowd have revelled in every note that he sang. “I am working on it”, says Sam, looking rather relaxed in jeans and a checked shirt, with a black pair of Chuck Taylors to match. Rats and mice control. It is a far cry from the image cut by The Soil, the group which he left in order to pursue a solo career.

“It was based on business really, and what I wanted for myself.” He says when pressed on why he left the acapella ensemble. If Sam is the playful one, then drummer Ade Omotade is the de facto leader-cum-philosopher of the trio.
He’s also the most talkative, according to his bandmates. Ade is judicious, and has such conviction in every statement that he utters that it often leaves you feeling either very confused, or very impressed by his character.It can also come across as stand-offish, to the uninitiated.
But blame it on his talent, as he puts it: “I play a lot of drums in my head, and when it’s time to play, I translate that into music.” Mothusi Thusi is the goofy part of the bunch, the weeded-out (with no allusion to his medicinal habits) man-child who cracks jokes at a whiff and occasionally interjects at performances to drop one-liners that shake up your mind and infect the senses. The three of them make up, a Joburg-based trio that met at a battle of the bands event some years ago, decided that they liked each other’s taste in music enough to start a band, and have been going strong ever since. Alongside, The Muffinz, and a slew of others, they are shaping – consciously or otherwise – the urban sonic landscape of South African music as we know and consume it. And they seem to be winning; with every mini-tour, every performance, and every mention by influential people in social circles, they advance a step closer towards country-wide recognition.
Ade tends to drift in conversation. His attempts at answering a question involve him going off at a tangent, coming back momentarily, and then veering off again in a diametrically opposite direction. For instance, when asked about his contribution to the band, part of his answer includes the statement: “freedom is being able to do whatever you want, but that’s not freedom for me. Freedom is being able to do what you want, but you’re not doing it, meaning that you don’t go out of your boundaries.” He is a walking, talking series of quotable quotes and off-kilter moments. A scholar of the best West African music (hailing originally from Nigeria).
Names such as King Sunny Ade and Tony Allen fall off his lips as easily as the comparisons to 50s-era South African jazz musicians that run through the mind when Sam sings. Everyone who says sam should go back to the soil, how do you think the other guys feel, and what are the chances of him going back, it will be like going to beg for your job back when you are the one that quit. It will also give him a bad reputation, in that he will seem as some sort of gold digger – it will seem as though now that the soil has made it, he wants to come join the group again?!
Just let the guy enjoy what he is doing and stop trying to make him second guess his decision, hau!! So, I met Thusi on a random rainy afternoon at the now defunct Keanes, a club that was right opposite Roka (also defunct) in the 44 Stanley Ave complex (the purveyor of spaces such as Maboneng and 70 Juta). He was the bassist in a band that was backing Mac Manaka during the launch of his then first anthology and I just fell in love. We exchanged digits etc and I found myself landing in spaces where he would be performing. During the rise of Blk Jks, The Brother Moves On, The Frown and the like (when most of them were very unknown and exclusive to the underground performance circuit) I then found out about the band The Fridge, before Sam, and they were awesome! Enter Sam and a new dynamic was added to the ensemble that unlike Blk Jks, wasn’t too heavy on complex and heavily layered lyricism and instrumentation/arrangements that can sometimes come off as trite, different from TBMO in how they didn’t take themselves too seriously by being too deep and meaningful or too focused on stylistic and/or aesthetic presentation much like The Frown.

Here were three guys that were completely different from one another physically, artistically and stylistically that seemed (to me at least) simply in love with music and the process of creating music. In something of a negative effect of this approach to music, they’ve gone largely ignored hence in recent times only TBMO, Blk Jks (if they can still be called a collective, what of their individual side projects) and The Frown (wonder what’s going on there since Eve fired everyone) have uhm, ‘made it’ if you must? Anyway, I dig these boys because they just do it and seem unconcerned about what everyone (especially the readers of Mahala) seems to think should accompany their music. Let the fellas be!!!
