It’s been a year in the making and waiting, but he’s back! Subsequently going to ground after 2012’s Big Day Out Tour, Drapht has resurfaced with two completely new and free tracks, plus a University based tour throughout Australia to bring them to life.
“The purpose of the two new songs, was to push myself into trying something different, experiment and to get me out of my comfort-zone. On top of that, I wanted to give back to those that have supported me throughout the last year and beyond” Drapht says.
After one hell of a year at that, 2011 included an ARIA number 1 album with ‘The Life of Riley’, ARIA & AIR awards for Best Urban Release, a 2x platinum single, a gold single, a certified gold album and three songs off the same effort polling throughout triple j’s hottest 100.
So, you could say Drapht is fairly appreciative and happy with how generous the year was, from beginning to end, for the man of the moment. But now it’s time to take it back, and give back to those that made it all possible. With all that in mind, Drapht triple brings to you THE UNI-VERSE TOUR!
At a valued ticket price with generous student discount the man is set to hit the road again AUS-wide from the end of Feb throughout March, with a massive touring party of like-minded friends to accompany him. Not only consisting of Drapht’s killer four piece band, but also harbouring the strength and support of close Perth friend, N’fa Jones, who you may have also heard feature on Drapht’s ‘Bali Party’ and again on Drapht’s current ‘1990’s’ that can be presently heard on the triple j airwaves nationally. To add to the list of names, the second support slot will be filled by the exciting Queensland up and comers, Seven and Mr. Hill…..
