The funk innovator and maestro will be touring the East Coast with P-Funk this Spring, bringing fans his inimitable style and curation of sound that has made him a globally renowned superstar. Clinton’s catalogue as a collaborator, and as an artist whose voice/work has been sampled by peers, is as extensive as his own body of original work. His distinct sound can be heard on a variety of records by artists including Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Flying Lotus, Wu-Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg and Drake – further proving his legacy status and enduring presence as one of modern music’s most impactful artists.

Melbourne Ska Orchestra – The Ballad of Monte Loco Tour
From the badlands of brass and the frontiers of funk,Melbourne Ska Orchestra rides again with a soundtrack for the wild-hearted! Armed with a new record, The Ballad of Monte Loco, the 20-piece posse is firing off a genre-busting fusion of Spaghetti Western swagger, deep reggae grooves, and horn-powered mayhem. It’s the next chapter in MSO’s wild musical saga—and it’s coming in hot. Fresh off the dusty trails of Mexico and the maple-syruped dancehalls of Canada, MSO returns home for the Australian leg of their 2025 World Tour. Expect cinematic showdowns, sweat-soaked dance floors, and enough energy to raise the roof on every saloon from Sydney to Fremantle. This ain’t no gig—it’s a dub-drenched reckoning in the badlands of Monte Loco, where the riddim rolls like thunder, the horns cry like desert prophets, and this band of sonic outlaws rides with purpose and fire.

He can't focus. He doesn't know if it's microplastics, long covid or because he pays AUD500 a week to live in a mould experiment. This year. He went to a rally dressed as Boba Fett and was bashed by both police and protestors. He formed a parasocial relationship with a doordash chatbot He lost all his crpyto trying to buy a mermaid skeleton.
Seems like you've caught us on an R&R day!
