J-MILLA’s most recent tune ‘Boomerang’ is a potent mix of modern hip hop flavours and social commentary, displaying J-MILLA’s awesome wordplay.
The following night will see TONIX playing on Sunday, November 17 with Cold Chisel, The Cruel Sea and The Superjesus. A melting pot of synths, sax, keytar and drums, TONIX have been thrilling SA audiences for several years with their high-energy indie electro releases.
The release of TONIX’s David Turley produced single ‘Snake’ will coincide with the band’s VAILO Adelaide 500 appearance.
