Event Preview: Spit Syndicate’s Sunday Gentlemen Tour Hits Adelaide

15 04 2013

The boys from Spit Syndicate have been touring the country following the release of their third album, Sunday Gentlemen, and this Thursday is Adelaide’s turn. Fellow One Day Crew members Jackie Onassis are joining the SS for the huge 20 date tour which hits Jive Bar on the 18th.

With Spit Syndicate’s singles Beauty In The Bricks and Folly getting a lot of JJJ love, as well as Jackie Onassis’s single Crystal Balling being on high rotation for many months, and their new single from their Holiday EP, Smoke Trails being added a few weeks ago the Sunday Gentlemen tour is no doubt going to be epic. 2013 is set to be a massive year for these boys from the inner west of Sydney, with both acts also being announced as part of the huge Come Together line up in June.

Joining them in Adelaide will be our very own Koolta, winner of the 2011 Hilltop Hoods Initiative.  With tickets still available, we don’t know what else you’d rather be doing on a Thursday night in Adelaide. Go here to get them.

Spit Syndicate are also playing as a part of the Movement Festival alongside acts like Nas, Bliss N Eso, Joey Badass, Chiddy Bang, Diafrix and Iggy Azalea. Jimmy Nice chatted to us a few weeks ago about Sunday Gentlemen and the Movement festival tour, peep that here.

It’s been a massive year for the young South Australian emcee/producer. With 2013 shaping up to be his best yet. Purpose’s brand new album Where It Starts is set to drop in around 5 weeks, with 3 huge singles already out and crunching the airwaves, this is sure to be a massive release.

“This is something I put together for you peeps for checking out my music/sharing it/coming to shows – you are appreciated. I wanted to get in early and give you a song that will make you want to get drunk waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before the party starts haha.

No really. If you have the day off, get amongst it. Huge shout outs to the dudes who’s beats I used on the track – nothin’ but love. I wanted to do something with just Australian Hip-Hop beats this time around just because I think there’s so much quality shit being made that it made sense. Some old, some new – all crazy. It puts a different spin/vibe on the mash-up too. I dig it, hope you do too”. – Purpose

Track Credits:
Spit Sydnicate – Pick It Up

Purpose – Come Together Festival and triple j Hip Hop Show Performances

19 06 2012

The 2nd single from Purpose’s upcoming album Where It Starts is dropping tomorrow July 20. The track titled Alive, will be released alongside the official film clip shot & edited by EightLimb Films. To celebrate the launch of the new single Alive, Purpose has been releasing a video a day until the single finally drops tomorrow. 

Late last we were treated to a sneak peek of the new film clip and single. Yesterday Purpose also released a nice little clip from when he visited the triple j studio’s in Sydney last week. There is a bit of the interview and of course it wouldn’t be a Purpose appearance without some live bars.

The track that he performed live on the triple j Hip-Hop show was set to be over a different beat, but the disk didn’t work on the night. He recorded it yesterday over the music it was prepared for, so people could hear it the way it was intended. 

Today’s video features footage from Purpose’s most recent performance/backstage at the sold out Come Together Festival 2012 held in Sydney. Shot & edited by Rush, the video features some great local talent. Where Is Starts coming soon.

360 – ‘Child’ goes Gold!

18 05 2012

360 has continued to make waves over the past month. A really positive and successful trip to the UK to commence writing for his next album also saw his first ever UK show in London; a sold out one at that. Sixty’s prolific Tweeting throughout the trip revealed some exciting collaborations are in the works for album #3.

Upon his return Sixty took off on the regional Groovin’ the Moo festival tour and has been smashing them so far. Bendigo, Townsville, Maitland and Canberra all yielded bouncing, absolutely jam packed tents and wild audience responses. The audience’s cheers in Maitland reached 119dB (that’s louder than the PA folks!). Bunbury this weekend followed by Darwin then right out on the essentially sold out 17 date national Flying Tour, which kicks off with triple j’s One Night Stand in Dalby at the start of June.

Demand for tickets on The Flying Tour has seen almost every show sell out lightening fast. The Come Together festival sold out in a matter of days and a second 18+ Sydney show at the Metro also sold out quickly. Now, less than a month out from the first date of 360’s June Flying Tour unprecedented demand for tickets has forced the upgrade of the Wollongong Waves venue. The Wollongong show, which will take place on Friday June 9, will now be upgraded to the largest venue within the Waves Nightclub complex at the Towradgi Beach Hotel. The extra tickets go on sale Thu May 24.

The current single to be unleashed from the multi-platinum Falling & Flying album is Child. The tune has hit gold status and scored day adds with a swag of the Nova stations. Hopefully there’s more where that came from.

360 Returns From UK, Smashes Groovin’ The Moo & Sets Sights On The Flying Tour

9 05 2012

As of yesterday there is exactly one month until Melbourne rapper 360 kicks off his highly anticipated and much hyped Flying Tour. This morning also heralds the news that Six’s second Sydney date, the Metro on Friday June 29 has completley sold out.

Sydneysiders can simply still not get enough of the man, his original Sydney tour date at the Come Together Festival sold out within 24 hours of going on sale forcing the announcement of the Metro show which has now sold out a whole month before the tour even kicks off.

It’s not just the Metro that has sold out this morning, Sixty’s second under 18’s gig at Perth’s Astor Theatre has now also completley sold out leaving only limited tickets to the final Villa show on sale for Perth locals to get their hands on. This leaves only four shows out of the 17 date national tour still on sale. Tickets for Melbourne, Brisbane, Frankston and Perth are now extremely limited with The Flying Tour headed towards being completley sold out in the next few days. This week will also see views of 360’s YouTube channel reach over 9 million in total, with his album Falling & Flying surging back into the top ten album charts on iTunes.

Sneak peek of the new 360 X Afends necklaces range – Coming soon.

With a practically sold out national tour under his belt Six hit the road over the weekend as the mostly sold out Groovin’ The Moo festivals kicked off. Marked as the festival show stopper Sixty graced the front cover of the Townsville Bulletin on Monday in the aftermath of his outstanding performance the day before. Noted as having the largest crowds of the festival so far 360 treated punters at Bendigo and Townsville to electrifying performances that his army around the country screaming for the festival to roll into their town so they can get a taste of the man they call Six.

The whirlwind doesn’t stop there; only days before heading off on Groovin’ The Moo Sixty jetted back into Australia after spending two weeks in the UK. Six spent his time abroad meeting with producers and commencing work on his new album. He also played his very first UK show at Camden’s Barfly to a sold out crowd filled with his UK army.

All that is left to say is that if you were planning on catching 360 on his upcoming Flying Tour you better grab your tickets stat, as by the end of the week they’ll all be gone!
