Check out this tour over the next few weeks featuring De la Soul w/ live band, Cut Chemist and MC Dres:
DE LA SOUL have earned themselves a huge following in Australia and internationally since the release of their ground-breaking debut album ‘3 Feet High and Rising’ in 1989. We last saw the good-time guys in early 2008, but this time they’re splashing out and coming with a 10-piece band, made up of seasoned players from across the USA, handpicked by DE LA SOUL.
Cut Chemist, one of hip hop’s most influential DJ’s, has been confirmed as a special guest for the tour, performing in a never before seen, 3 piece live format featuring vocals from Hymnal, custom visuals, decks and fx. Cut’s profile as a member of Ozomatli, dj and producer for legendary hip hop live outfit Jurassic 5 and frequent collaborator with fellow turntablist DJ Shadow steps up to the next level as he takes his unique cut & scratch audio visual presentation to the following shows:

Hey guys- just want to let you know about some upcoming shows. We covered Island Vibe festival on Stradbroke island last year- great music, atmosphere and family friendly. This year’s fest is the last weekend of October and should be heaps of fun again. The lineup is looking sweet, with Chali 2na, the Bamboos and Mista Savonah getting my attention. check it all out at islandvibe.com.au.

Also noticed Anthony B is playing for the first time in Australia this September- Check him out in Brisbane on Sept 10-
Anthony B’s rich vocals and audacious lyrics carry a depth and substance which is rare in the industry. Internationally, his fan-base has grown because he speaks about the universal concerns of suffering and salvation. “The greatest thing about reggae music is that it’s about concepts and ideas,” says the artiste, “you are speaking to people on issues they live and can relate to.”
