BUKKCITY (& Band)
.
Born in Canberra. Raised in New Jersey. Residing in Melbourne. While hip hop so often obsesses over representing your home town, Bukkcity would rather hold it down for all three. While other emcees do their best to fit the moulds set by those that went before them, Bukkcity would rather carve his own niche by relating unique experiences that have – quite literally – brought him half way around the world and back again.
.
Born in Australia’s national capital to an African American father and a South African mother, Bukk’s family uprooted to Jersey, New York, as he faced a childhood far less sheltered than the one that had been promised to him in Canberra. After his father departed and the family moved several more times, a story not so unfamiliar in any territory… and like most kids in that situation he struggled to come to terms with the responsibility of being the only man in the house with his mother and two sisters, a responsibility that was thrust upon him well before he could call himself a man. In a place of ubiquitous violence, drugs and more violence, Bukkcity found himself a teenager with a struggling family and a talent for two things in particular – finding trouble and making music.
.
Featuring on mix-tapes in Sweden, Germany, Atlanta, New York and North California, Bukkcity has created a growing swell of followers which made him one of the most viewed unsigned hip hop artists on myspace Australia.
.
This is also Bukkcity’s first visit to Tasmania & will be backed by his band.

360 & PEZ
.
‘Melbourne hip-hop maverick 360 (pronounced ‘three-sixty’) makes the leap from underground favourite to ‘Aussie hip-hop’s most wanted’ with this highly anticipated debut album ‘What You See Is What You Get’!
.
Souful harmonies, funky loops, jazzy licks, acoustic grooves and bangin’ beats. Sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious, always lyrically on point, 360 takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride through the mind of a 21-year-old hip-hop prodigy. This will be 360’s first visit to Tasmania, get out & support him!
