360: Breakthrough Artist of 2012

13 08 2012

It’s been a big 365 days for homegrown hip-hop star 360. Since releasing his debut album Falling & Flying in September last year, Matt Colwell has reached platinum plus status, remaining comfortably in the official ARIA Top 50 chart for 44 weeks! He has landed the headlining slots at various summer festivals and has just released his new single and video clip for Run Alone.

As a huge thank you to his legions of fans for their ongoing support so far, 360 will release a brand new unreleased track Please Forgive Me plus four new live recordings as part of the Falling & Flying Platinum Edition on Friday August 24. Sixty has also been announced as the headline Australian act playing the Pyramid Rock Festival on NYE and the acclaimed Big Day Out Festival circuit in January 2013. Before these shows, 360 will also be performing at the Fat As Butter Festival in September, Gold Coast 600’s after race concert in October and Canberra’s Foreshore Festival in late November, so there’s plenty of chances for you to see him live in action!

360 TOUR DATES:
Saturday 22 September – Fat As Butter Festival, Newcastle NSW
Friday 19 October – Gold Coast 600′s after race concert, Gold Coast QLD
Saturday 24 November – Foreshore Festival, Canberra ACT

360 is currently back in his hometown for some much needed rest and relaxation, following his urgent surgery on one of his eyes from an ongoing hereditary eye condition, Keratoconus.  Never fear, Six is recovering well from the surgery which took place last week and will be bunkering down in the studio to continue work on his third album over the next couple of weeks before jetting off to Europe in September to promote the release of his album there.

New Video Clip: 360 – Run Alone

6 08 2012

The last couple of months have seen Melbourne rapper 360 embark on his massive national Flying Tour, of which all 19 show dates were completely sold out. Huge crowds across Australia crammed into venues to catch the electrifying 360 live show and left the venue hot sweaty and extremely satisfied.

Sixty now has his eyes firmly set on some massive festival performances in the months ahead, with his recent set at Splendour in the Grass, his upcoming performance at Fat As Butter in Newcastle, the Foreshore Festival in Canberra and a very special performance at the V8 Supercars Armor All Gold Coast 600. As always Six never likes to do things by halves, so once again he will jet off overseas later in the year to support the release of his highly successful Falling & Flying album in Europe and Canada.

360′s brand new single Run Alone, lifted from the album Falling & Flying has just been released alongside a brand new film clip. You can pick the new single up on iTunes here

360 – Child Official Video

28 03 2012

Right, let’s just get this straight, your mate 360 is here and he ain’t going away any time soon! It hasn’t been long since the tickets for the highly demanded Flying Tour went on sale. Shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Frankston, Adelaide, and Perth have completely sold out with second and final show dates announced in all cities to meet the screams of Sixty’s devoted army that are covering his Facebook wall.

Queensland was the first state to show it’s hunger for Uncle Six, with the under 18’s show selling out within minuets of going on sale. The 18+ gig at Brisbane’s HiFi Bar then followed suit selling out within an hour of tickets being available. A second Brisbane 18+ date has now been announced for Monday 11th of June at the HiFi to meet the needs of Sixty’s Queensland based devotees.

Adelaide’s all ages show at The Gov was the next to put up the sold out sign, tickets here were all but gone within two hours of hitting the streets. A second and final show went on sale and is also now sold out. Sixty’s home town of Melbourne then came to the party with the 18+ show at the HiFi Bar done and sold by early afternoon, a second date has also been announced here for Thursday 14th of June. Overnight tickets to Melbourne, Frankston, Wollongong and Perthshows were snapped up and sold out. Once again Sixty has answered the cries for more shows putting on a second and final under 18’s show on Sunday 24th of June at the Astor Theatre in Perth.

The heat around Melbourne rapper 360 is absolutely undeniable at the moment. Is there anything that Sixty can’t do? His juggernaut continues to roll on into 2012 with album Falling & Flying reaching certified Platinum sales status and current single Boys Like You feat. Gossling achieving double platinum status within the space of a week.

The album itself has remained in the ARIA top 50 charts for a massive 23 weeks and has been sitting pretty in the top 10 for the last seven weeks, currently holding strong at #6. Equally as impressive single Boys Like You has spent 10 weeks in the ARIA top 50 singles charts – the last six weeks in the top 10, currently sitting at #5.

It’s onwards and upwards for 360, who knows what else 2012 has in store for the man. One thing we can say for sure is that if you haven’t already seen the electric live stage performance this guy puts on then you better run out and grab tickets while you still can.

Brisbane and Melbourne tickets here.
Frankston tickets here. 
Perth (Villa) tickets here. 
Perth (Astor) tickers here.

The new 360 clip for his track Child taken from Falling & Flying made it’s debut on Channel [V] on Friday afternoon, you check that out above. The video was directed by Andrew Cameron and produced by Anne Robinson.
