P.O.W? Was that with SS?

I'm having vague flashbacks that could be completely false

I'm pretty sure they played at Brown Alley in 2005.

Nah, Prince of Wales with SS and GQ was in 02 or 03.

That was an AMAZING night. Having SS get back on at 5.30am and tear it out until they kicked us out about 7am... fucking madness.

word. didn't he open with some tune with a "melbourne city" sample in it from tali or something?

Yup, he had his own recording with something like "SS in Melbourrrrrne, listen now, Melbourrrrne".

Didn't know it was Tali though...I thought the chick sounded African American

valuetime · Post by **valuetime** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 11:22 am

you're probably right; my memory is god awful. i'm giving myself credit for remembering the gig took place.

gold stars for SS that night. special effort.

i remember this and i'm sure vt is right - i remember the 'melbourne city' thing.

Will · Post by **Will** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 11:46 am

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Tali.

It was like a special VIP thing with a chick singing, if I remember correct.

That was the first night I met JC who introduced me to pretty much all my current crew.

Biggups JC!

I have to ask (sorry for the hijack), was there ever a gig at POW with SS and Ed Rush? I was so sure...

I thought that was the night I first met Dboy too.

Dboy confirm??

calstro · Post by **calstro** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 2:27 pm

Are you for real.
It was pure shite, It was a Virus Vaults tour and can't recall one virus tune.

you need to smoke less then.

there was some virus bizness in there for sure.

Fast Car being played and rewound?! haha

some of the tunes were arse, sure. most of them were heavy tho. and mixing was on point every time.

I ended up in the breaks room upstairs with that MC Chikaboo

i remember heading upstairs for a bit to escape, and being driven straight down by all the vapid breaks girls, nahmean.
