Sydney hip hop duo Spit Syndicate continue to rack up the numbers, this time it’s in threes. Following an absolutely huge 9 months post the February release of their third LP Sunday Gentlemen earlier this year, the band have just announced the release of ‘Amazing’, the third single to be lifted from said album.
Fresh from gracing the airwaves of Triple J just last week with their cover of Disclosure’s ‘Latch’ for Like A Version (as well as a live version of ‘Amazing’), they have also just announced that to celebrate the release of ‘Amazing’ they will be embarking upon their third national tour off the back of Sunday Gentlemen, their biggest to date, the aptly titled ‘Money Over Bull$hit’ tour.
As with the first two singles from Sunday Gentlemen, ‘Amazing’ was added straight to full rotation at Triple J. Whilst Sunday Gentlemen spoke to the hard yards, ‘Amazing’ – which lends the lyric ‘money over bull$hit, crew on top of anything’ to the upcoming tour’s name – is the postcard from the tour; to the supporters along the way, the random adventures and delirium of screaming crowds, the intense, sometimes surreal connection that takes place between crowd and performer. Beginning at Australia’s preeminent music conference Big Sound, this massive run of shows will see them criss-cross the country, including several regional and all-ages dates.
Supporting on ‘Money over Bull$hit’ tour will be Spit Syndicate’s DJ/life coach, Joyride. DJing for Spit Syndicate is but one feather in Joyride’s illustrious (and very big) cap. An immensely talented singer, songwriter and producer, who has been working on his own solo material in between his plethora of show-stealing guest appearances and Twitter obsession, Joyride has recently released a free EP called Chivalrous. Weaving its way through gut-wrenching heartbreak to drug-fuelled lust, Chivalrous is a unique combination of R’n’B, synth pop and soul and includes lead single ‘Removalist’, featuring regular collaborator Drapht, a song which is currently enjoying airplay on Triple J.
The ‘Money Over Bull$hit’ tour will see Spit Syndicate head out on the road across Sep / Oct / Nov – catch the whole damn thing after the new video for single ‘Amazing’.
