There was a full music video for their second single, "Enter the Ninja", but the first thing most of us were entranced by, the element that articulated and contextualized in some small way who DA were, was a promotional piece about the group called "Zef Side". Combining documentary elements with a surreal undercurrent, the clips were funny, confounding, and unique, the sort of thing that you forward to your friends and then do online detective work to learn more about what you're watching and sharing. Our introduction came last winter, when Boing Boing first posted a pair of their videos. Hell, when we first profiled the group, it was under the headline "Who the Hell Are Die Antwoord?" More likely, you first encountered them as a viral video, a meme, a performance art collective, a joke that left you searching for the punchline, or some combination of the above. Die Antwoord were always a group of musicians of course, but chances are you didn't first hear about them because of their music.
