Tour News: PUBLIC ENEMY Australian Headline Shows – May 2012

Legendary rap group and social political-icons, PUBLIC ENEMY, kick off their headline Australian shows next week, supported by the cream of the rising Australian hip hop crop, Seth Sentry.

Since the release of their epic debut album ‘Yo Bum Rush The Show’ in 1987, PUBLIC ENEMY, have been making the music that makes the world listen; propelled by all the passion, urgency and electrifying performances that have made them one of the most critically-lauded groups in contemporary music.

This year, the group will release two new studio albums: ‘Most Of My Heroes Still Don’t Appear On No Stamp’, produced by long-time collaborator Gary G-Wiz, will be released in June, while ‘The Evil Empire Of Everything’ will follow in September. PUBLIC ENEMY front-man, poet, author and the voice of the oppressed, Chuck D, describes the albums as “two concise statements that are connected in the same breath.” (Billboard.com)

A group whose musical style and incendiary delivery have earned them critical acclaim and millions of fans throughout their career, PUBLIC ENEMY continues to blaze musical and technological trails with new songs and new media, pulling rap music into the future, all while keeping its musical roots firmly intact. PUBLIC ENEMY transcends the confines of rap and pop music, remaining one of the African American community’s most important messengers, digital music’s greatest champions, and a rare rap group whose lyrics are dedicated to analyzing, uplifting and empowering all of humanity.

Celebrate 25 years of the uncompromising PUBLIC ENEMY!
