ELEFANT TRAKS

THE HERD ANNOUNCE FINAL TOUR
Last headline shows for the next 12 months!

Despite hanging up their boots for 2009, The Herd have given in to the demands of online fans and are announcing a final East Coast Tour.

The tour coincides with the special DVD release of the Elefant Traks 10th Anniversary Party, filmed with 13 cameras in late 2008. The DVD captures the vitality and energy of the Elefant Traks celebration.

It’s been a phenomenally successful 12 months for The Herd: their fourth album Summerland debuting at #7 on the ARIA chart and the resulting tour was the biggest in their history.
They went on to win two AIR Awards for Best Independent Artist, Best Hip Hop Album, the J Award for Best Music Video as well as being nominated for an ARIA for Best Urban Album. The Herd made their mark once again on triple j’s Hottest 100 with hit single The King is Dead coming in at #13 and 2020 at #63.

Don’t miss this last opportunity to catch the group’s explosive live show.

Urthboy re-emerges with the sizzling new single Hellsong, a delirious moment of hip hop soul, produced by Hermitude.

Hellsong is taken from the forthcoming Spitshine record, dropping in August on Elefant Traks. It’s available for FREE download from www.urthboy.com.

This new single follows up from the tremendously successful album, The Signal released in 2007 with nominations for the J Award, AIR Awards and a finalist in the AMP (Australian Music Prize).

The animated clip was produced by Broken Yellow (The Herd, Only 19), composed with more than 7000 hand-drawn images and put together by an international team of artists.
