Pez – August 09

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Pez is having his first national headline tour throughout August and September and will hit 4 venues in Perth in late-August.

“Pez is not like other hip-hop artists – that much is instantly obvious. With his long hair, laid-back nature and ever-present smile, the 25-year-old Melburnian instantly distinguishes himself from other artists of the genre with his lack of pretence and genuine demeanour. But once his music – rich with soul-searching honesty, gritty melody and traditional hip-hop ethics – is heard, the distinction is clear. Pez breathes new meaning into the word “real”, in a genre seemingly obsessed with reality but often far removed from it.”

Further gig details at the EP! event pages:

The Foundry – 19th August
The Rosemount – 21st August
Norfolk Basement – 22nd August
Indi Bar – 23rd August
