Saturday night Bliss N Eso kicked off their national tour in the Capital. FasterLouder had exclusive access to go backstage (and on stage) with the hip-hop stars. Check out our exclusive gallery here to see what followed!

FL’s shooter Ben Shaw gives us a little snippet of what life on the road with one of Australia’s hottest hip-hop bands would be like. “The guys had been at it all day, the techs had to bring equipment down from Sydney because all the local gear was tied up with the Warehouse Winter music Festival with their day starting before dawn!” says Ben.

“All performers walked off stage exclaiming how crazy the crowd was, you couldn’t help but get the feeling that they where all pumped and completely surprised by the energy the crowd was showing.

“By the end of the night the heat in the place was incredible, even the guys backstage where feeling it and my lenses where constantly fogging up. Water was being passed around by everyone. DJ Ism felt the worst of it being directly under the spotlights.

“Pez attempted to get out in the crowd for Bliss N Eso’s set and was instantly lifted up into the crowd surfing his way through as the set began.

All in all a pretty brilliant way to start their tour. Catch Bliss N Eso at the following dates on their Flying Colours tour.
