Hilltop Hoods

Monday, August 17, 2009

Too chicken for a rap battle, the blokes drink beer with RALPH instead.

Nice work being the only Aussie act to crack the top 20 of Triple J's Hottest 100 Of All Time.
Suffa: Yeah — of course we wrote the 17th greatest song of all time!

What do you reckon that says about Aussie hip-hop?
Pressure: There are a lot of signs that hip-hop in Australia is really starting to get big, which is exciting, especially for us because we've been pushing it for so long.

The punters at your shows aren't just rap fans anymore.
Pressure: We still get hip-hop heads to our shows, but now we even get dudes that listen to punk or metal or whatever.
Suffa: We get people with rubber fetishes, people with father issues.

The Funkoars once told us they rubbed out an easy one in your bed on tour once.
Pressure: It was [Adelaide MC] Vents that rubbed out a sticky one in either mine or Debris' bed.
Pressure: And through our detective skills we realised he'd wanked in Debris' bed. He admitted afterwards that he'd tried to wank in my bed but he got the beds wrong.
DJ Debris: He goes to me, "I wanked in Pressure's bed." I go which one, and he says the one next to the door, and I go, "That's my bed, you f–khead."

Where to see Hilltop Hoods
THE Hoods will rock the house at Homebake in Sydney's Domain on December 5, along with Funkoars, Powderfinger, Jet, Eskimo Joe, Short Stack, Tumbleweed and Eddy Current Suppression Ring. There are more bands to be announced, so there's still a chance you'll see RALPH-DMC on the list. Tickets on sale now.
