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
29 December – 1st January – Pyramid Rock Festival, Phillip Island VIC
Friday 18 January – Big Day Out, Sydney NSW
Sunday 20 January – Big Day Out, Gold Coast QLD
Friday 25 January – Big Day Out, Adelaide SA
Saturday 26 January – Big Day Out, Melbourne VIC
Monday 28 January – Big Day Out, Perth WA

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.

The Platinum Edition is the complete Falling & Flying album along with the 4 new live recordings + Please Forgive Me, an original recording from the Falling & Flying album sessions.

Thundamentals 2011 Wrap Up

13 01 2012

To much anticipation, Foreverlution hit store shelves in July and Thundacats responding instantly taking the band into the ARIA and AIR charts for the first time ever. Debuting at #3 on the AIR Charts, #17 on the ARIA Urban Charts + #19 on the ARIA Australian Charts. It’s first single Paint The Town Red was already getting a pasting on airwaves across the country with their 2nd How You Been? also being added to triple j rotation.

The critics responded in kind with the fans praising the album for its immaculate production and international sound. Soon after its release Thundamentals hit the road for what was to be an onslaught of touring, first with Outkast’s Big Boi in August, then with Drapht + Muph & Plutonic throughout September + October and finally for their own Foreverlution tour in November to massive crowds including a sold out Sydney show at Oxford Art Factory, all up playing to thousands of Hip Hop fans in the space of a few short months.

 

There is little rest in sight for Thundamentals as they step up to festival stages over summer, already slated to appear at Pyramid Rock Festival, Peats Ridge Festival and Corinbank Festival. That’s not even the end of it, they have just announce they are heading out for another massive tour with The Herd (Elefant Traks) in March + April of 2012. So when 2011 drew to an end, there is little disputing Thundamentals are one of the most in demand live hip hop acts in the country. How You Been? feat. Jace Excell is the 2nd single from Thundamentals sophomore album Foreverlution released 29.07.2011 through Obese Records.
