360 Takes Vintage Modern Shows All Around Australia

Listening to 360’s most recent album Vintage Modern, I wonder why it wasn’t on my radar on its release last year. I started listening when news of his tour and the recent single release of “Money” hit my inbox. However, listening to a single song in isolation only gives you a superficial understanding of the kind of music 360 is making these days.

While he’s always been an artist with something to say, I think some of his most profound songs can be found here. Tracks like “Admission,” “Trouble,” and “Tiny Angel,” one of the most gut-wrenchingly powerful songs I’ve ever heard, are standouts. These tracks are just some of the reasons you’ll want to get in on Vintage Modern’s forthcoming national regional tour. The news he’s bringing Pez, who appears on “Coup De Grace” is another big tick in this tour’s favour.

Tickets are on sale now from 360’s website.

Justice Crew Make Chart History

I ordinarily try to write about the ARIA charts whenever an Aussie act’s on top. However, other work commitments have seen me missing a few of the weeks during Justice Crew’s impressive reign. It’d be remiss of me to not publish an article now though, as their song “Que Sera” has broken the record for the most number of weeks an Aussie act’s spent at the top of the ARIA Singles Chart. With nine weeks, they’ve gone one better than Austen Tayshus’ “Australiana,” Savage Garden’s “Truly, Madly, Deeply,” and Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know.” They’re still a few weeks away from equalling the overall record 13 weeks that Coolio spent on top with “Gangsta’s Paradise,” but very close to eclipsing the pre-ARIA record of 10 weeks that Daddy Cool’s “Eagle Rock” spent at number one in 1971.

Justice Crew have got some stiff competition in the form of fellow Aussie Sia, who’s having a comeback with “Chandelier.” After it appeared to be on the downslide, the song’s jumped six spots to land at number two.

Aussies are also seeing joy on the album charts, with 5 Seconds of Summer landing the number one spot with their self-titled album on debut. This album’s already spawned six top 20 hits, including the number one “She Looks so Perfect,” so its dominance was probably inevitable, but it’s still a real victory for the boys. They managed to head off the might of the Hillsong Church, who sit at number two in their first week with No Other Name.

Like Sia, Chet Faker’s also back on the upswing. His former number one album Built on Glass is back in the top ten for the first time since May. Clearly his current national tour is paying dividends!

And as if that wasn’t enough local love in the charts, 360’s also making his presence felt with his album Utopia. It sits at number eight this week.

360, Drapht, and Seth Sentry Headline Sprung Hip Hop Festival

After delighting hip hop fans in Brisbane for the past two years, the Sprung Festival is travelling down south. After playing Brisbane’s Victoria Park Cricket Ovals on September 21, the festival will move to Melbourne’s Kevin Bartlett Sport and Rec Complex on October 19.

This year’s all-ages event is shaping up to be something special, with 360, Drapht, Seth Sentry, Urthboy, and Thundamentals all on the bill. Considering the level of talent, the tickets are a steal at just $79 plus booking fee. Get yours through Oztix or the Sprung website.

360 Announces US Shows

Award winning hip hop act 360 will play shows in the United States early next year, including his first in New York City.

Considering the busy 2012 he’s had, no one would blame him if he took some time off until those dates, but it seems he wants to say goodbye to his fans in Oz properly. He’ll play a string of local gigs, including slots at the Big Day Out tour, before taking off for America’s bright lights.

More American dates will be added to 360’s schedule, but for now here are all the places we can all see him play over the coming months.

29 December 2012 – Oxford Street Party @ The Riverbank, Rockhampton
30 December 2012 – Pyramid Rock Festival, Phillip Island
31 December 2012 – Inserts to Play @ Supreme Court Gardens, Perth
18 January 2013 – Big Day Out @ Sydney Showgrounds, Sydney
20 January 2013 – Big Day Out @ Gold Coast Parklands, Gold Coast
25 January 2013 – Big Day Out @ Adelaide Showgrounds, Adelaide

360 Dominates ARIA Award Nominations

If the nominations are any indication, 360 could scoop this year’s ARIA Awards. The hip hop artist has scored six nominations: Best Male Artist, Breakthrough Artist, Album of the Year and Best Urban Album (Falling and Flying), Song of the Year (“Boys Like You”), and Best Australian Live Act.

Gotye and The Jezabels also did well with five nods. Just behind them we see Lanie Lane and Hilltop Hoods with four nominations each.

I’m most impressed by the diversity of this year’s awards. We see so many genres represented and a great mix of new artists and old favourites. In recent years it’s felt the awards have gone a bit too alternative, so I’m thrilled to see mainstream pop acts, dance divas, and rock acts getting their due. I’m not so secretly hoping to see Cold Chisel take out the best group category.

In something new this year, fans will also be able to vote via the ARIA website for four categories: Song of the Year, Best Australian Live Act, Best International Artist and Best Video.

The pointy statues will be handed out at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on November 29. They’ll air on GO! You can see all the nominees at the ARIA website.

Hilltop Hoods Still Number One

Hilltop Hoods have maintained their grip on the ARIA album charts. For the second week the band’s latest offering Drinking from the Sun sits at the number one spot.

An Aussie release also rounds out the week’s top ten. 360’s fallen to number ten, from number six last week, with Falling & Flying. It’s a similar story on the singles charts where his track “Boys Like You,” the sole Aussie entry in the top ten, has dropped from number six to eight.

Hilltop Hoods Outsell Adele

Many acts have tried, but finally one has toppled Adele, and it’s an Aussie. Hilltop Hoods have ended the current Queen of Soul’s reign with their new number one album, Drinking From The Sun.

It’s been a big week for local urban acts, with 360 also inching up the charts with his album Falling & Flying. It’s moved from number seven to number six. No doubt that performance has been helped along by the success of the single “Boys Like You,” which has dropped one spot to sit at number six on the singles charts.

And let’s not forget Sia’s contribution to Flo Rida’s single “Wild Ones.” Surely her stellar vocals have something to do with its current number three spot on the singles charts!

360 Plans Flying Aussie Tour

After recently completing a sold out string of dates, 360’s figured it’s time for another go round. He’ll play underage and adults only shows around the country in June as part of his The Flying Tour.

The tour is well-timed, as 360’s Falling & Flying album is still enjoying great success thanks largely to the big single “Boys Like You.” Single collaborator Gossling will join 360 at all the shows, along with Hermitude and Bam Bam.

He’s known for his big sound, but 360’s keeping things nice and intimate this time around with shows at small venues that allow him to really connect with his followers. To ensure he does just that, he’s giving his fans first dibs on the tickets. Join his website’s mailing list by midday on Friday to get the pre-sale information. The pre-sale will then kick off on Saturday March 10, ahead of the general public sale on March 15.
