It started as a rumble in the suburbs. Glen Waverly to Hallam, Ferntree Gully to Frankston in every beer soaked band room in between, each weekend brought the best live talent Australia had to offer to the churning masses.
Midnight Oil, Radio Birdman, AC/DC – they all cut their teeth playing to the assembled tribes that merged together at the end of the working week to dance, and drink, and party. Chrissie Amphlett raged, The Models pouted, and INXS strutted week in, week out in darkened rooms nestled far away from the looming city.
As the years went on, the scene changed. Weekend warriors found their new battleground in the form of the electric Melbourne skyline, leaving behind empty band rooms and slowing the suburban heartbeat.
Until now.
Like any good movement, the voice may be muffled but the heartbeat remains. The growing demand for a local alternative night out with the same coveted artists, DJs, and late night vibes without the astronomic costs involved with a night in the city led to the inception of Urban Spread.
Each month Urban Spread will bring the biggest names in Australian rock, indie, hardcore, punk, blues and roots, hip hop and just about anything else you can think of to the Village Green Hotel and the Chelsea Heights Hotel.
Kicking off at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday the 13th of March, Urban Spread is proud to present Australian hip hop’s fastest rising star Allday, supported by Ivan Ooze, Peezo and special guest dj’s into the wee hours.
After skipping out on art school, Allday managed to successfully survive on stolen sachets of microwave rice. Rice theft aside, he also managed to drop multiple mixtapes, slide into triple j’s world famous Hottest 100 Poll with ‘So Good’, debut an EP at #1 on the AIR chart (and an almost unheard of #18 in the ARIA Charts), as well playing a whole bunch of sold out shows and becoming a favourite at festivals around Australia.
All this mayhem will be repeated at the Village Green Hotel on Saturday the 14th March for those of you who are suckers for sonic bliss of the highest order.
Bringing the party close to home means exorbitant cab fares are a thing of the past, and the extra coin (not to mention the hours freed up by avoiding the inner city hike!) can go towards keeping things moving long after the band gives way to Melbourne’s most sought after tastemaker DJs who cater to every music style from home and abroad.
With solid line-ups each month, and a strict no dickheads policy, Urban Spread brings live music back where it should – at the local.
