Phrase

Think you know all that Aussie hip hop has to offer? PHRASE and BIG DAY OUT are here to make you think again. From the youthful aggression of his debut Talk With Force to his socially aware and musically adventurous breakthrough second album Clockwork (featuring collaborations with artists as diverse as Daniel Merriweather, Kram and Wendy Matthews), Melbourne rapper PHRASE is breaking the mould. Backed by DJ Flagrant and a five-piece band, PHRASE’s Clockwork gigs have become more than just shows – they’ve become events. And no event will come bigger than PHRASE at BIG DAY OUT 2010.
