COOPERS ALIVE - HIP HOP LIVES.

Hey, for those in Adelaide, I just wanted to let you know the full details for our next show.

With hip hop well and truly alive in this fine state, Coopers Brewery in association with DB Magazine and Ausmusic SA are throwing their weight behind some of Adelaides finest new talent. The Coopers Alive hip hop showcase is testament to the fact that in Adelaide… Hip Hop Lives.

Coming together are three rising groups who have been turning heads in the SA music community. Us (A Devil Amongst The Tailors), Social Change and Shadows. These three acts have been making massive waves through the scene with a passion for music, plenty of determination and hard work.

Expect a massive night of entertainment. We'll be playing with guest vocalist Emma Jones, live MPC and visual treats. Social Change are premiering their video clip for “Lifted” from the E.P followed by a set with their live band the Funk Movement, and Shadows will be screening the preview for their documentary “Word of Mouth”.

With 3 diverse acts all coming together for one night only, door prizes, and rumours of an all-in jam/cypher, this is truly an event not to be missed.

So get down to the Crown and Sceptre on Saturday July 26th.
Doors open 9pm. $10 Entry.
Hip Hop’s Alive.
You betta ask somebody.
