went to this last year, at hq. a mate got us booted out while drapht was on i think, cos he was takin a slash in the smoking area haha.. then we got back in when the security was breaking up a fight. and we ended up leavin before pegz finished anyway, cos we were too blind.. then the same mate threw up in the back of the taxi as we pulled into my driveway, that cost me $100, after spending about another $100 at the show, and he spent $380 on merch and beer.. shiit, and it was worth every cent! i'll be there at the thebby when yous come to adl.. mad cant wait

BIAS B - AEROSOL ERA - OUT NOW through Wordburner/Obese Distribution.
Throughout the 80s and 90’s Melbourne experienced a graffiti explosion which quickly cemented the city in the history books for it’s influence on style and development of the graffiti art culture. Bias takes us on a journey back to his days growing up on the train lines with the infamous Wild Child Art crew, to the days he calls the Aerosol Era. Tracks that describe the often tumultuous life of a writer, like “Militant Mindstate,” “Another Day,” and “Racked That,” showcase the very personal and introspective nature of Aerosol Era through the eyes of one of Australian hip hop’s most influential poets. Featuring production by Jase, Bigfoot, Peril, Ransom, Ciecmate and Brothers Stoney and representing Melbourne’s most prolific graffiti crews DMA, WCA, USA, CTF, RDC, F1C, TSF, Hursty Boys and
