Pase Rock (Spank Rock, USA) started dancing, collecting records and scratching at 9 years old. This passion for music at such a young age transformed his life into a music lovers dream – managing festivals and party nights, holding residencies DJ’ing in several nightclubs as well as touring the world as a solo artist and as part of the well-known Spank Rock. Continuing to live the dream Pase Rock will head to Australia for 5 shows, stopping in at elsewhere on Thursday, 28th August.
Spinning a mix of house, hip hop, old soul, rock and whatever gets people moving Pase Rock brings with him OH SNAP! (USA) (the latest signing for Sweat It Out records - AJAX's new label venture) for his only Queensland show! elsewhere will be the first of many Australian shows for Oh Snap! as he tours with AJAX to launch his new EP!
To keep the people smiling with booty shakin’ rhythms all night long we also have a cast of local DJs joining the vinyl platter – Sampology, Surecut Kids and Dan Mumbles! This is bound to be a night of music where uncontrollable dancing ensues!
Tickets for this event will be pre-sold and are now available online at www.oztix.com.au for $20+ bf.
Not a bad way to start the Gold Coast Show Day long weekend!
On Saturday, 9th August elsewhere teamed up with MTV to host the Gold Coast finals of MTV Kickstart - a national initiative to assist aspiring and independent artists by giving them all the tools necessary to break into the music industry. 5 finalists had been selected to battle it out LIVE @ elsewhere for their chance at a spot in the national finals - BoWsER, The Murderettes, Panther DLX, The Moderns and Elke.
When the doors opened at 7pm there was a line of excited fans half way down Cavill Avenue!! Band groupies and lovers of live music alike were out in force to catch another LIVE performance at elsewhere. The bands kicked off at 8pm, having only 2 songs to impress the judges.
The boys provided 5 amazing performances - pure rock, indie punk, electro indie, indie rock and new wave. With slightly different styles there was something for everybody and the audience certainly seemed receptive; with hundreds of guys rocking out and even more girls screaming as the bands hit the stage!
With half an hour of deliberation the judges - Susie Patten from band I Heart Hiroshima, Shaun Wilson from Radio Metro, Sam Cleveland from The Gold Coast Bulletin and MTV Marketing Manager, Sam Coombes - the announcement was made...... "The winners of the MTV Kickstart Gold Coast heat is Gold Coast rockers...... The Moderns"
Samuel, Andre, Willi and Swanny will now head down to Sydney in September to battle city against city during the Kickstart Final. There is no doubt that the boys will do the Gold Coast proud! Congratulations go out to the winners - as well as to the other four finalists; BoWsER, The Murderettes, Panther DLX and Elke. Thank you for making it an amazing night and showing MTV what the Gold Coast has to offer!
