litnet.co.za November 2007. Riana Wiechers het ons gig op 26 September in Durbanville bygwoon en hierdie gawe review/ interview geskryf.

jhblive.com October 2007. Raffaella Delle Donne sat us down in Diva's (the only thing not Italian here, is us, well, and Obs as a whole) and we spoke at length about beards and interviewing techniques. The result is a strange answer in one voice.

JIP/ Die Burger Oktober 2007. Le Roux Schoeman het ons gig kom kyk in Durbanville op 26 September by die Kunskafee en het iets moois geskryf (lees dit eerder hier as om op die link te click, want dis moeilik om te kry, versteek in 'n Van Coke Kartel blog) en 'n great video clip gemaak met deel van ons performance en interview op.

The Weekender October 2007. Joburg-based Dutch journo Fred de Vries wrote a profile on Toast for the weekend version of Business Day. It's about Buckfever, Ons Klyntji, referendums, the past, Barney Simon and all sorts of stuff. The printed version was slightly edited, and they botched the last sentence, so you can read Fred's original piece here.

Die Burger Oktober 2007. Mariana Malan het met Toast en Gil gepraat oor die insluiting van 'Die Volk' in 'n Nederlandse radiostasie se Top 100 Protes-liedjies van alle tye. Dit is, kry julle woordeboeke gereed, "'n lied van ontgogeling". Die foto is deur Julia Merrit.

Rapport September 2007. Rapport het dit egter eerste gewaar. Karin Burger berig oor 'Die Volk' as die Top 100 Protes-liedjie. Die foto in die koerant was Inge Prins s'n.

MK89 Oktober 2007. MK se web-man Tertius Kapp het vir Toast ge-interview oor die Top 100 Protes-liedjie. Hoe voel ons? "Prettig." The link contains a strange sheep photograph taken by Ruan Kemp, wat dit als die moeite werd maak.

iafrica October 2007. It's not much, but the folk at iafrica seem to be receiving our press releases and have shown good form by putting them in slightly edited form on their website. Which is the way we like our journalism to be done around here. Then again, it could be our friend Rich who did us a favour, because he works there. So we say thanks, Rich (trivia: Rich actually produced our very first recording, 'Dink Harder', back in 1998 - we have a lot to thank him for).

isolation.tv September 2007. Write-up by Lloyd Gedye from Mail&Guardian. It was in the paper too, but they made a few subbing errors and the original, correct article appears on Lloyd's very kiff site. The band photograph is by Inge Prins.
