Greetings again jokesters and hooligan makers! The Phonies wish to invite you to a truly spectacular evening of sydney's dopest live hip hop bands this Saturday the 21st June at the Gaelic Club. We'll be there supporting our good chums Rumpunch as they Launch their debut CD, and getting rawkus with their funky, reggae, hip hop tunes. Led by sydney's finest and most handsome rapper Tuka aka Tuka the sucker, their sound is uniquely sexy and their live show is fuelled with a full horn section and backup singers.
However the Phonies will be sure to steal the show with a revitalised set featuring a new indie rock track, an electro banger, and some fresh super smooth hip hop grooves. The Phonies Wardrobe department has also been hard at work creating the Phonies Winter Collection which they will be unveiling on stage during the show. In case you can't wait we have attached some exclusive sneak peeks of the boys in their winter attire, with a special appearance by "Teach" AKA "Referee....
The night kicks off with Basslines & Fresh Jams DJs who will get the party started. Please come and be part of the next generation of sydney's live music scene as Rumpunch and The Phonies turn the Gaelic Club into a hot steamy love jam with the rest of the rhyme lovers, groove enthusiasts and melody munters.
Doors open at 8pm, The Phonies on stage around 10pm, and tickets are $15 on the door or available through moshtix.
