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)
