Brad Strut - Legend: Official Australian Tour

September 3rd 2007 07:36

brad strut offical the legend australian national tour

Click to enlarge

it’s official! The Triple J Hip Hop Show, Unkut Recordings and Shogun Distribution are excited to announce Brad Strut’s much anticipated Legend: Official National Tour. Since its release in June this year, the sophomore solo album from the menacing Melbourne lyricist has become one of the most praised Australian hip hop records ever, and fans have clamoured for its sinister sounds to be brought to the stage. Now, Brad Strut returns from destroying shows in Europe and the UK to blow away venues across Australia with the exemplary flow and wordplay of Legend: Official.

Backed up by DJ Big Zed, who executed the searing scratches on Legend: Official, Brad’s murderous metaphors will storm the state capitals, Canberra, Cairns, Townsville, Byron Bay, Geelong and Phillip Island. Album producer and fellow Lyrical Commission icon Trem will appear on all Victorian shows, and the Melbourne date will be capped off by Bob Balans, making for the first on-stage appearance of the Commission in almost two years. Rounding out the bill in each city will be the best local MCs and DJs, along with special interstate guests for several dates.

Brad’s live shows are already legendary, as anyone who witnessed his sold out east coast dates in early 2006 can testify. Now, with performances at Hip Hop Kemp (Czech Republic) and The Edinburgh Festival under his belt, Brad is bringing home his finely tuned stage show of devastating lyrical assaults. The Legend: Official National Tour will be the essential Australian hip hop show of the year – don’t miss out! For ticket information visit Ozhiphop.com forums.

Praise for Legend: Official

"What Aussie hip hop should sound like: a finely tuned one-man pub brawl. Local hip hop release of the year thus far." - The Age, Melbourne

“Strut moves from good to great when he embraces history and his sharp tongue.” – Rolling Stone

"Strut's wordplay and flow are exemplary." - MAG / musicaustraliaguide.com

"An amazing leap forward in all respects. A depth of character that many new emcees should take note of when writing their own lyrics." - 3D World, Sydney

"If I saw this album coming toward me on a train I would avoid eye contact, because it might just kick the crap through me." - TheDwarf.com.au

"The sharpest lyrical offering of the year so far. No weak points." - Onion magazine, SA

"Urgent and on edge. An intensely personal album." - Xpress magazine, WA

Bad Boy Bobby Brown Tours Down Under!

July 4th 2007 03:15

bobby brown tour australia sydney melbourne perth

The New Edition rebel formerly known as Mr Whitney Houston is touring Australia in a few weeks time. This guy is so bad, even Osama wanted to put a hit on him - but that's because Osama was deeply infatuated with his ex-wife Houston, as published last September in Harper's Magazine by Kola Boof, one of Osama's former sex-slaves.

He made headlines a few months ago for threatening British TV Host Jamie Campbell after Campbell joked about having gay sex with the artist. Brown was getting fired up:

"You said to me, I haven't even tried any sex moves on you yet. Yet? What the f*** you mean, 'yet'? I'm a grown-ass man. Yet? On live TV I will f*** you up. Trust."

I wonder if Brown will make headlines in Australia in a similar Xzibit fashion (see post HERE).

Teeny boppers will recognise "My Prerogative" and not like it as much as the cover version, while club hoppers will be more familiar with "Thug Lovin'"; the new jack fans, however will be hanging for "Every Little Step" and the New Edition tribute.

New Edition: Those were the days. Look at those suits!

He's been called "King of Stage", "Brown Bomber," and “The Bad Boy of RnB”, amongst other illustrious monikers. However, by any title, singer, songwriter, producer and performer Bobby Brown is a certified superstar. Since his solo debut in 1985, Bobby has earned himself a legion of fans internationally, selling millions of records globally in the process.

Now for the first time in over ten years, Bobby Brown returns to blow Australian audiences away with a series of live and intimate showcases with his band.

Thanks to Xposed Media, Hiphop.org.au readers can WIN A DOUBLE PASS to see Bad Boy Brown when he hits up Sydney on Friday, July 20th. Check the Competitions forum for more details.
