Cape Town - Arno Carstens is currently touring the South African coast with his eclectic alternative rock band as part of his annual Unplugged Series.
"This is a great way for me to perform my songs in a stripped down and intimate environment, and allows us to really connect with the audience," Arno explained.
We got to ask him some quick questions on what it’s like road tripping as a rock star.
What is your favourite “padkos” when touring on the road?
Nando's of course, or any farm stall on the road will do.
Have you ever had an awkward encounter with a fan while taking a pit stop during a road trip?
Once I was on the loo at a filling station, and someone stuck a camera under the door to try and take pictures of me!
What’s the best road trip song that has you singing out loud every time?
Beastie Boys: Intergalactic … It kicks ass
Complete this sentence: I will never go on a road trip without…
My wallet and driver's licence. And a Tazer, ha ha! Why? Because we live in South Africa!
Are you a "stop to smell the flowers" or a "you can pee when we get there" type of road tripper?
I like to go at a mellow pace and stop at interesting places…
If you can go on a road trip with one celebrity (dead or alive/local or international) who would it be?
Jack Nicholson…I've seen him in About Schmidt and he's a great driver! I think he'd make great conversation.
