Printer-friendly versionHorrorshow : Inside Story Tour Feb - March 2010
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 Info:
South Coast - Brighton (UK) hip hop documentary by Will Jewell
I saw "South Coast" a documentary about Brighton (UK)'s hip hop community by Will Jewell last saturday night at the Jerusalem Cinematheque as part of the British Film Festival. I thought the film was a great balance of original roots of hip hop, respecting the US origins, whilst highlighting the original crews from the local Brighton community and featuring some of the up & coming artists also. a great snap shot into Brighton hip hop. it feels similar to Australian hip hop in some ways.
I wrote some names during the film so I could find out about them later. (hard to read my writing so hopefully I have these right!)

KOG 30/10/2003 phone interview with Mark from KOG label.

Issue 1 to Issue 14 :)
hip hop magazine (Stealth Magazine) publisher, writer, event organiser
Too many too many. Most of the stuff I personally like I try to cover in the magazine so if you go through our back issues that will give you a partial indication.
Yes – each issue:) I have a tonne of MDs, cassettes and reel-to-reels of interviews I've done over the years. I want to get them online one day.
We cover hip hop and artists from around the world who understand and take an interest in the culture they are involved in.
Not sure about non-hip hop but the hip hop community is pretty cool. It used to get a bit feisty but generally speaking there are people you can connect with who are building with a similar vision and it just feels like Voltron pushing down barriers. It’s pretty cool to be a part of.
It isn't going to go away. It just means that smart groups will find a way to use it to their advantage and explore other revenue streams that they can generate.
The quality of local hip hop is just getting better across the board. It used to be about a handful of the major cities in Australia. Now there are crews doing really good stuff all over the place. It's inspiring.
