Haiti Benefit Show This Sunday


Dig Deep this Sunday because Breakin Wreckwordz artists Tourettes and The Usual Suspects are joining about a hundred other really dope crews to raise some funds for the aftermath of Haiti's recent disaster. Its a super important cause and its only ten bucks so you really ought to go.

Your $10 door charge will go directly to UNICEF to help in the relief effort currently going on in Haiti. All the proceeds from the evening will be donated to UNICEF for clean drinking water, food, medical supplies and the rebuilding of schools. We will be personally tracking this money to Haiti and will update you all on exactly where your money went.

What is so little to us, could literally mean life or death for the children of Haiti.

Tourettes #2 In Amplifier Top 20

source: http://www.amplifier.co.nz/news/53437/amplifiers-top-twenty-albums-of-2009.html

"Hello, my name is Tourettes. I like rapping, poetry and playing the drums. I write about politics, love and diseases. I'm in a crew called Breakin Wreckwordz. We're pretty good. At the moment I'm waiting to release my new album Who Said You Can't Dance To Misery, in an effort to get the voices out of my head and into yours."

Who Said You Can't Dance To Misery was mixed by Karl Steven (Supergroove) and mastered by Angus McNaughton.

Amplifier says: Tourettes has a way with words. As he should, being a poet. But if you approached this album thinking you were going to get poetry of the Wordsworth "I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud" type then you're going to be in for a rude shock. Who Said You Can't Dance to Misery is a challenge. It has an edge that's so sharp you could shave with it. It gives voice to the inner-city streets of Auckland rather than trying to sound like it came from Compton. This is vital listening and more people need to hear it.

Video: Usual Suspects Get Cooking

The good folk at opshopmodels.com are currently in the filming of the first season of the cooking show “Food 4 Thought” hosted by The Usual Suspects. Of course before we went rushing into filming the first season, we had to see what these mugs would look like in front of a camera, and if they can actually cook. Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be releasing pilot episodes from our screen tests, that I think will show they definitely don’t look that great in front of a camera and can’t really cook either. Heres the first…
