Wu Tang gets cancelled.

Wu Tang gets rebooked.

Wu Tang are playing three days after Nas. In Melbourne.

Fuck! Anyone want to convince Biggie to come back from the Dead and play inbetween? That would be top three in three days.

Anyway, I feel it necessary to gloat that I have already seen Wu-Tang,  in San Francisco, on the same bill as Rage Against the Machine in 2007. But to be honest I was so drunk after drinking my way through Public Enemy, Blaqstarr, Jean Grae, Cypress Hill, EPMD and whoever else was playing that Wu is a very happy but very blurry memory. And the Seventh Letter exhibition we attended afterwards is pretty much completely unrecallable. But that last weekend in the states was a pretty epic way to wrap a pretty epic holiday in NYC and SF.

But back to Wu, I am looking forward to doing all again. So far GZA, Raekwon, RZA, Ghostface, U-God and Inspectah are confirmed and apparently more are waiting on Visas. If Meth doesn't make it there is no way it will be as good but Raekwon is a Melbourne first and that will be fucking banging, especially with Ghost. Cuban Links anyone?

More details here, keep checking Mops at Kompound because he seems to know everything way before me.

Also in October this man is in town, for Clash of the Titans which I can't ever find a flyer that works for but you can check out some details on 12oz Prophet.
