Californian DJs Shadow and Cut Chemist come to Australia for The Hard Sell Tour, and will play at Metro City in Perth on Friday 18 April 2008.

Their new, all-45 show, entitled “The Hard Sell” incorporates eight turntables and two guitar loop pedals, allowing tricks and complexity rarely attempted by a DJ duo. As with the two previous sets, the pair elude their own material in favor of a conglomerate of music from all eras and styles, providing for amusing and provocative mash-ups; rap mixes with fiddle music, doo-wop with new wave, and everything in between…all while avoiding the obvious, “been there, heard that” stuff you get from most DJs.

Local Support to be announced.

Tickets available through Moshtix, Planet Video, Mills Records, Rockeby Records, Groove Music, the Spot @ Curtin Uni, Jumbo Video, Galaxy, Capitol and Amplifier for $55 + booking fee.
