got an account set up with statcounter which tells me that there actually are people coming to this blog and checking it out - so i thought i may as well get an update popping.
our debut album "towards the light" is dropping in just under 3 weeks - june 21st. it's a saturday. check out the album if you can! i'm a little bit over it personally after having worked on it for nearly two years. but we're very keen to hear what you all think of it with your fresh ears.
this is the album cover, courtesy of ben funnell from april 77. everything you've heard about the man is true - he is the motherfucking don. bug zapper comes courtesy of the homie reidy.
the block party tour is coming to a close - we've had a fucking ball so far. it's been good hitting up cities where we've never been before, although we don't get to see too much as we're only there for a night. catching the plane with a big crew and having all the different crews take up an entire level at hotels is sick. all of the acts have been smashing it – i hadn’t caught too many obese shows prior to us signing, but everyone has held shit down mad proper: drapht (killer live show, backed up by MJ and carlsani – bosses!), muph & pluto (muph did get mad pissy on the first sydney show but is an incredible performer and has been dazzling the audiences), chasm + jeswon + dtrix + 2buck (very, very tight live outfit), hyjak + torch + squeeze (these fellas have kept us in stitches the whole tour. torch needs his own tv channel for real) and pegz + patto + bonezy.
adelaide was dope, neither jimmy nor myself had been there before but were keen to check out the city, which has produced some of our favourite mcs. the crowd was pretty tough but we hopefully made a good impression. we've played canberra twice before with bliss, eso and izm and i love it there - we had a few sound issues during our set which is always quite fucked up, but got love nonetheless.
hobart was a personal highlight for me. we were shown some mad hospitality by a local tassie lad by the name of james from edge radio. James was a deadest boss, took us around hobart and was an all around sickcunt. we did a radio interview for edge radio which was broadcast from a local high school and somehow wound up on the local news. slow news day in tassie? the venue got changed at the last minute and was pretty shitty – but we were very happy with how the show turned out. the tongue gave me a heads up about some local lads mdusu & jameza – these boys killed it, definitely a duo to watch out for.
very pumped for melly next week. you already know what it is.
