We all know that Wu-Tang is for the children, but it appears it’s also for Sydney residents who are fed up with the city’s devastating lockout laws. Luckily, the hip-hop icons are already working on it.
As News Corp reports, during their performance at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion last night, the Wu-Tang Clan promised to get rid of the lockout laws, with the crew’s leader, RZA, weighing in on the debate that’s engulfed the NSW capital.
As Wu-Tang Clan finished their set, RZA reportedly told the 4,870-strong crowd that the crew would host their after-party at Jam Gallery in Bondi Junction, since the lockout laws meant they couldn’t have it in the CBD or Kings Cross.
“We heard y’all got some new laws,” RZA told the audience. “We going to to get these laws changed for y’all.” Kogarah Labor MP Chris Minns has already issued a response to RZA’s comments, though he addressed the wrong Wu-Tang member.
“I don’t normally get my policy advice from a man named Ghostface Killah but on this one he is right. These laws need to be changed,” Mr Minns told the Daily Telegraph this morning.
Nicholas Greco, the promoter behind the Wu-Tang Clan’s first Australian tour in five years and the Beyond The Valley festival, said they were forced to hold the after-party in Bondi Junction because the band wouldn’t get in otherwise.
“As inner Sydney is held hostage by these ridiculous lockout laws we held the WU TANG clan afterparty in Bondi junction at Jam Gallery so the guys could actually get in when they rocked up,” he said.
