Start the night off with Brisbane hiphop masters Impossible Odds, headed by front-man Rival MC aka Fred Leone, as they lead the way with their intelligent and soulful lyrics and fresh organic beats. Politically charged with a calling to represent urban Aboriginal Australia, they’ve collaborated with artists such as Australian legend Archie Roach and Xavier Rudd.
Next up, Classik Nawu burst out of the Brisbane suburbs with their vibrant fusion of R&B, jazz, hip-hop and reggae – Torres Strait Island style. Brothers Sah and Tito Ghee merge natural harmonies in an almost irreverent likeness to the classic soul and reggae greats while emcee Swilo tells his story with unforgettable flow and presence. End the night with Cold Water Band, descendants of the Kuku Nyungkul clan, for a debut Brisbane performance of their own brand of R&B and Reggae.
Classik Nawu burst out of the Brisbane suburbs with their vibrant fusion of R&B, jazz, Hip-hop and reggae – Torres Strait Island style. “Classik” – songs that stand the tests of time, and “Nawu” – music - reflect their musical purpose. Brothers Sah and Tito Ghee merge natural harmonies in an almost irreverent likeness to the classic soul and reggae greats, emcee Swilo tells his story with unforgettable flow and presence. Pair this up with old-school funky bass and forward thinking drums and the sound is perfectly described in the title of their sophomore EP ‘HipFunkFresh’.
Cold Water Band is Cairns and Cape York’s hottest new act. Descendants of the Kuku Nyungkul clan, the five members came together playing drums on buckets and tin cans and playing guitars with sticks and guitars with missing strings. They have come a long way from those days with regular gigs around Cairns and Far North Queensland and is currently attracting lots of industry attention. Playing their own brand of R&B Reggae, don’t miss Cold Water Band in their debut performance in Brisbane.
