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.

Sprung Makes Queensland Return

Sprung was massive when it launched in 2011, bringing Aussies the very best of local hip hop talent. During its dream run it brought fans big names like Hilltop Hoods, Drapht, Illy, Seth Sentry, and 360. Then four years ago, it disappeared from the festival calendar, leaving a space that no other event really managed to feel. But there’s good news for hip hop fans. Sprung is back for 2017, bigger and better than ever.

Organisers have pulled out all the stops for Sprung’s comeback year, with Illy, Allday, Tkay Maidza, A.B. Original, Pez, Spit Syndicate and stacks more set to take the stage this October.

“We have been waiting for the right time to bring Sprung back to the people, we hit the ceiling pretty quickly when it came to headlining artists so we needed to allow the community to evolve,” organisers explained. “We are now seeing artists that were once on at midday on our stages taking to the headline spots and a whole new wave of incredible artists that we can’t wait to showcase. We think 2017 is going to be an incredible year for Sprung and hip hop as a whole…rest assured we are back for the long run and have some tricks up our sleeve for the years to come.”

Sprung hits the Parkwood Outdoor Precinct in Queensland on October 28. Tickets go on sale from the Sprung festival website and Oztix on August 24.

The Sprung Festival is a strictly 18+ event. Sorry kids!

Pez Gives "These Days" Another Spin

Melbourne hip-hopper Pez is following up his smash hit “The Festival Song,” with another surefire chart-topper “These Days 2009.”

The song is a remixed, rerecorded version of fan favourite “These Days.” It sees Pez reunite with Blue King Brown’s Hailey Cramer and some of Melbourne’s finest session musos.

Pez said he was inspired to revamp the song to give back to his loyal fan base.

“I was so amazed by the level of support people gave to the ‘The Festival Song’ when it hit radio late last year – and I’m still amazed at the response it continues to get at shows, online and on the radio,” Pez said.

“At the same time, I wanted to show people who only knew me from ‘The Festival Song’ that there’s not just one side to me, that I’m a diverse artist with a lot more to offer than just that one track. And of course, I wanted to give the loyal supporters – those who’ve copped the album and keep telling me that they want to hear new material – something really special to tide them over until I drop another full-length.

“I think with ‘These Days 2009,’ we’ve achieved all of that. We’ve improved on the original track tenfold and I can’t wait for people to hear it for themselves.”

The release of ‘These Days 2009’ coincides with Pez’s support slot on Bliss N Eso’s national tour. Check out this amazing urban lineup at the following venues!

6 June 2009 – ANU Bar, Canberra (18+)
12 & 13 June 2009 – Festival Hall, Melbourne (All ages)
