South Africa's Chasing Friday win May Music Video Title
The world cup of soccer begins in South Africa in just a couple of weeks, and a few native sons have got some winning music to share.
For the second time in less than a year, Chasing Friday have seen their laid back yet warmly anthemic brand of rock and roll reach the top of the Make A Star Music Video charts and bring home a nice $100 paycheck to boot.
In Cape Town, the picturesque port that lies on the southwesternmost point of the entire African continent, vocalist Phill Black joined forces with bassist Nico Mouissie and drummer Andre ‘Mule' Mellish to form Chasing Friday.
First seen on Make A Star last year, their video "It's Not Like London's Calling You" appeared on an episode of Make A Star on Fuse television. The video resurfaced in a monthly $100 music video contest and beat all comers in the money bracket to take the title.
Taking their time to perfect their music and videos, the new song "Take My Hand" and accompanying music video debuted on Make A Star as a contender in April, where it advanced to compete in this month's money bracket.

Faced with some excellent competition from around the world, the video cruised through to the final where it squared off against new Canadian electro artist Connekt, whose dark, futuristic, and very sexy music video "Kiss" was without a doubt the best new artist discovery this month.
While the Make A Star judges gave Connekt an edge, Chasing Friday's army of fans came out to show their love for the group's unquestionably refined and transcendent music and helped put them in the winner's circle.
Succinctly describing their influences as "Life, love, friends, family, the world and all the great bands we love so much" Chasing Friday's debut EP Freewheeling in the Fast Lane is now available exclusively at Rhythm Music Store, Amazon and iTunes.
