Horrorshow: Inside Story Tour Feb-March 2010

Posted by Richard T.














Elefant Traks are proud to announce Horrorshow’s first national headline tour in February-March 2010.

The buzz around Horrorshow is staggering: they’ve swept up everyone from triple j kids to purist hip hop heads and indie hipsters. Their new album Inside Story was triple j Album of the Week and their joint launch with Urthboy sold out the Metro Theatre in Sydney.

The evocative brand of earnest, ego-free hip-hop announced by their debut album The Grey Space, earned them an ARIA nomination for Best Urban Release. Coupled with acclaimed recordings is their growing reputation for explosive live shows, most recently winning over a swag of new fans during 25 shows (over 7000 payers) on the Spitshine Tour.

If you’re talking hip hop, Horrorshow are a group to watch.

Breaking News: Horrorshow will be supported by Spit Syndicate who are working on the follow up to their Aria-nominated debut Towards The Light. Their new record will hit shelves in April-May, out on Obese Records. This is the first opportunity to catch some of their new tunes live.


All tickets are available from horrorshow.oztix.com.au

All Shows Are 18+ Except Sydney and Pushover (VIC)

From late September to mid November Urthboy embarks on his biggest tour to date, teaming up with wonderkids Horrorshow to launch their brand new records at over 25 dates nationwide.

Horrorshow have experienced a rapid but organic rise in 12 short months, with their invigorating debut The Grey Space capturing a national following. Their second album, Inside Story, is set to dramatically swell their fanbase when it drops on Oct 2.
Opening the Spitshine tour is Melbourne’s Polo Club (triple j Unearthed/MTV Kickstart winners).

Urthboy is Ready to Go!

Posted by Richard T.


Ready to Go
is the second single from Urthboy’s upcoming and hotly anticipated third album Spitshine.

Featuring the vocals of Nat Dunn, Ready to Go wastes no time in announcing its intentions: this is a summer invasion; a dancefloor raid, and Urthboy is in peak form.

The production skills that elevated 2007’s acclaimed The Signal, are back once again with Count Bounce lacing the beat.

Hackett Films (Gruen Transfer, John Butler) have created a pulsating, energetic music video to accompany the single.
