It’s a been a crazy ride since Sydney hip hop/producer trio True Vibenation put out their second album ‘ON’ 9 months ago.

They hit the touring circuit hard selling out their Sydney launch and playing to packed venues across Australia. Word quickly spread and it wasn’t long before they were on the plane to Africa for their first international tour, playing in front of thousands with main stage festival appearances alongside international legends such as Salif Keita, Les Nubians and Mi Casa and selling out their first international headline show in Maputo.

Now the trio returns home for the Africa/Australia tour to continue the party with their brand of electronic beats, live horns and deft lyrics for a show that leaves every ounce of energy on stage and the audience grinning from ear to ear.

Made up of twins VULI and Moody and childhood friend Klue, the trio hailing from Sydney’s inner-west, has developed a solid reputation for an electric live show and sound which is just as comfortable alongside a live band as it is in an electronic setting. They even have a self-made instrument that literally turns audience members into human drum machines!

With hundreds of shows under their belt, festival slots at Sydney Festival, Peats Ridge, Future Music, Secret Garden, Subsonic, Woodford and Changing Lanes as well as support slots with Jurassic 5, Chali 2na, Dead Prez, Foreign Beggars, DJ Kentaro, Horrorshow Thundamentals and many more, True Vibenation are ready to play for their fans and add some new ones.

After carving a path in the Australian music scene with a bold voice and universal message they prepare to take their infectious live show to the rest of the world.

The trip is significant not only as the band’s first international tour but marks a return to the birthplace of members Verbaleyes and Native Wit where they will kicking off the tour at HIFA Festival, Zimbabwe before continuing south for more shows in South Africa and Swaziland.

‘Normally with our shows we feel like we bring a bit of Africa to Australia but with this tour we’ll be bringing a bit of Australia to Africa.’ Says Verbaleyes.

With main stage slots alongside international legends such as Salif Keita and Les Nubians the Australian trio are set to burst on to the African scene with their brand of electronic beats, live horns and deft lyrics.

Since the release of their sophomore album ‘ON’ through Big Village nine months ago True Vibenation have been hitting the touring circuit hard with a live show that delights in sending the audience in to a wild frenzy.
