True Vibenation – The Sunshower Tour

10 04 2012

True Vibenation goes beyond the live hip hop format of two turntables and a microphone for a show that sees them transform into a blasting horn section and live beatmaking band. The trio has been going from strength to strength since the release of their debut album The Sunshower Phenomenon through Big Village Records in late 2011 and is now ready to take their infectious live show on the road with The Sunshower Tour over April/May/June.

On the back of the album’s release, solid national radio airplay and reputation for putting on high energy shows True Vibenation sold out their album launch at iconic Sydney venue the Annandale Hotel in January. With their diverse sound, natural stage presence and attention grabbing show audiences are in for a taste of a group really starting to come into their own with a growing buzz and fan base.

True Vibenation drops their second single ‘No More’

18 12 2011

It’s been a hectic few weeks since Sydney outfit True Vibenation released their debut album The Sunshower Phenomenon. The album was named as Triple J Hip Hop Show ‘Album of the Week’ and has received great airplay across the country on stations including Triple J, FBI, RTR FM and 3RRR.

The music video for their first single Work, Work, Work feat, Alphamama has had numerous plays on ABC TV’s Rage and has clocked over 5000 views on YouTube. On the back of considerable hype as well as praise from industry insiders True Vibenation’s second single No More was quickly snapped up for high rotation over summer by Triple J.

No More is a defiant afro‐beat song drawing inspiration from the groups roots in Africa and features the vocals of Zimbabwean singer Chris Gudu and Californian MC Raashan Ahmad (Crown City Rockers).

True Vibenation – The Sunshower Phenomenon (Out Now)

7 11 2011

True Vibenation is a group with undeniable talent and soul representing a cultural shift in the Australian hip hop scene. With a take on the music that borrows from genres as diverse as afro-beat, pop, dubstep and blues their debut album The Sunshower Phenomenon sounds like it could have come out of anywhere in the world, yet is distinctly Australian.


Not content with sticking to the traditional format of just MCing or DJing the talented trio also reforms into a horn section, performing all horns on the record. Released on November 4 through Sydney imprint Big Village, The Sunshower Phenomenon is a collection of songs combining heartfelt, intelligent vocals from twins Verbaleyes and Native Wit with rich, textured beats and skilled scratches from DJ Gabriel Clouston.

The first single Work, Work, Work feat. Alphamama is an infectious summer-vibed tune and its clip was (perhaps prophetically) filmed at Martin Place in the same spot protesters were forcefully evicted by police two weeks later. No More is a defiant afro-beat song drawing inspiration from the groups roots in Africa and features the vocals of Zimbabwean singer Chris Gudu and Californian MC Rashaan Ahmad (Crown City Rockers).
