Meryl Cassie did the South African Springboks proud yesterday as she performed their national anthem at Auckland’s Eden Park Stadium, it was their first match in the Tri-Nations Rugby tournament.
Check Meryl out below…
The Springbok’s played against New Zealand’s All Blacks. The Springbok’s lost the match, better luck next time guys. As for Meryl, she did a great job, previously her sister Megan Alatini performed the national anthem for the Springboks (sadly we’ve still not seen a video of it!). Here’s some screencaps of Meryl…
With thanks to TonyTai2017 for uploading the video :)
Well, if you live in New Zealand, you could meet Meryl Cassie (who was Ebony in The Tribe), Ari Boyland (Tribe’s KC) and Lee Donoghue (Spike in The Tribe).
First up the sexy Shorty boys Lee Donoghue (Hunter McKay) and Ari Boyland (Brodie Kemp). New Zealand’s Girlfriend Magazine are making dreams come true for fan girls as they have the guys on the GF Live tour!
Ari and Lee will be appearing on the GF Tour on Wednesday 7th July at Westfield Albany and Thursday 8th July at the Kiwi Trust Sylvia Park, both in Auckland. The guys are looking forward to signing autographs for their fans, go easy on them girls! More info on GF’s Facebook & Twitter. Let’s hope to see some pics of the hunks!
On Friday 9th July, also in Auckland, the gorgeous Meryl Cassie will be performing at RRV1 (Ruamoko Rangatahi Volume 1) at the Metro Theatre. Meryl was name-checked in an article about the event in The Aucklander. The event will be mix of performance art, electro-pop, R&B and funk.
Meryl has had to cancel this performance as on Saturday 10th July she will be performing the South African national anthem at the Tri Nations match between the South African Springboks and New Zealand’s All Blacks in Auckland. Check your TV listings to see if the match is showing in your country and you’ll be able to see Meryl perform live!
I (still) wish I was in New Zealand though.
Antonia Prebble (Outrageous Fortune’s Loretta West/Tribe’s Trudy) has featured in the new Flip Grater music video for the track Careful. Check it out below:
In the music video, directed by Damien Shatford, Antonia features as a fresh faced beauty straight off a flight into Wellington. She’s off to meet someone, her lover possibly, but seems to be jilted in the final moments of the music video. The music is beautiful and Antonia Prebble does the job well of conveying the song ‘Careful’ and it’s meaning…
Apparently the note she receives reads, “Ha Ha! Series 7 of Outrageous Fortune has been cancelled!” – I’m kidding of course! :) There are some behind-the-scenes shot from the video over at Flip Grater’s Facebook, check them out! News with thanks to AntoniaPrebble.com & Flip Grater’s Twitter.
In 2004 Tribe sweetheart Mery Cassie (Ebony) auditioned for the New Zealand Idol series. On June 4th 2010 in a news report about Simon Cowell leaving the American Idol series, TVNZ showed some clips from their 2004 Idol series. An audition by Meryl Cassie featured in the clip, check her out below, singing a bit of Alicia Keys’ Fallin’…
She only features in a small bit of the clip. She sounds fantastic, and she sounds even better now!
* The original article stated the audition was in 2002, but it was in fact 2004. With thanks to Mary (see comments) for the info.
Check out the cool pics above of Meryl Cassie performing at Khuja, in Auckland, on Thursday 15th April 2010. Photo’s are by the photographer Sally-Ann Ahern who is based in Auckland. There are more of Sally’s awesome pics over on Meryl’s Facebook, check them out! There’s also some pics of Meryl performing with the Rudeboys during the Khuja set.
 More news; our favourite New Zealand DJ/producer P-Money has announced the track listing to his forthcoming album Everything (which will feature the singles Everything and Angels). Meryl appeared in two of P-Money’s music videos, but she will now also be appearing vocally on his album!
Meryl Cassie will feature on track 8, Dance With You, on the Everything album. Dance With You also features hot NZ talent; PNC, Vince Harder & Mz J (Julie Taale). This release is big news for Meryl fans as it is would be a first musical release since The Tribe albums came out back in 2000/2001. I’m not sure how much she features on the track, but still, let’s hope we get to hear it! P-Money’s album Everything will hit NZ on May 3rd, can anyone say import?
That title got your attention! Nothing rude here to be honest. The lovely Meryl Cassie will be back supporting hot pop/rap artist J-Dub with St. Janera on Thursday April 15th at Khuja in Auckland.
The best news about this gig is that Meryl will be performing some original songs for the 1st time, with support from the RudeBoys, could it be the tracks she’s been laying down in the studio?
The event flyer details/flyer are on the left, check it out and add the date to your diary. This is not the first time Meryl Cassie has worked with the RudeBoys, on March 20th she performed with the guys, more info & pics of Meryl at that gig is on the Rude Blog.
Don’t forget to check out the video of J-Dub, St. Janera and Meryl C in action at the Kingsland Festival last month, if you haven’t already.
I received some awesome photos today of Meryl Cassie, performing at New Zealand’s Kingsland Festival 2010 on March 27th. Check them out above! Photo’s are by photographer Sally-Ann Ahern who is based in Auckland.
- Many thanks go out to Sally for sharing her cool pics :) You can check a video out of Meryl performing at the event in a video posted here.
On March 27th Meryl Cassie took to the stage to perform at the Kingsland Festival 2010 in New Zealand, where she supported artist J-Dub (Joshua Webb) along with St. Janera in a set located at the Roasted Addiqtion Cafe.
Check Meryl out in the video below…
 In the video you’ll see Meryl performing the Beyoncé hit Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) and the Jay-Z/Alicia Keys track smash Empire State Of Mind. Meryl definitely looks at home on the stage. You can the check the flyer out from the event by clicking here (or the image on the left) – be warned though, the MySpace listing for Meryl turns out to be a fake account. Big shout out to J-Dub for putting the vid online on youTube.
With thanks to Jessica of MerylCassie.com for the info (follow her on Twitter!). Picture of the flyer lifted from Eventfinder.co.nz.
There’s a lovely video on youTube by blackbird9d of Megan Alatini performing the Kamaishi Seawaves Song on November 22nd 2009.
Check out the video…
The Kamaishi brass band sound amazing amazing as does Megan during the performance. I’m not sure entirely about this event as we don’t have much details, would be cool to find out who the guy is she is performing with too.
Megan is also joined the stage by her and Pita Alatini’s daughters, Tonica and Tiara, and her son Trey.
