Urthboy - Spitshine

Spitshine‟ is an audacious record packed with punch and finesse: the beats and vocals swagger with breezy rhythm– allowing Urthboy to blaze a trail across a sunset of slamming drums. There‟s a defiant optimism about it: everyone‟s got a story and somehow, anyhow, that story should be told.

Production is handled by the same talent that saw last album „The Signal‟ get multiple award nominations (AMP; J Award; AIR Awards). COUNT BOUNCE; ELGUSTO and HERMITUDE. Guests include SOLO of HORRORSHOW, JANE TYRRELL, LIOR, NAY and MANTRA of ILLZILLA

Out now and available with a bonus t-shirt transfer.

Elefant Traks 10th Anniversary DVD

In late 2008, Australian record label ELEFANT TRAKS celebrated its 10th year with a huge sold-out concert at The Forum in Sydney.Label founders THE HERD headlined the event; with HERMITUDE; HORRORSHOW, THE TONGUE, URTHBOY, ASTRONOMY CLASS and UNKLE HO all providing knockout performances. It was a night to suit the occasion: an ecstatic crowd in a venue decked out with Elefants (not real ones), visuals and a lighting show. Filmed with 13 cameras and lovingly recorded by GREG WALES – this is appropriately the first ever DVD from Elefant Traks. Hosted by THE TONGUE, whose amusing encounters with punters cross back to live sets from each act, this DVD package also features backstage photos. It’s a moment in time: the culmination of ten years of independent Australian music from Sydney’s DIY label Elefant Traks.
