Its that time everyone! After last years amazing competition down here in Melbourne, Secret Walls (previously Wars) is back, and the line up looks god damned grand with artists such as  Rad, Hancock, Reliable, Jack Douglas, Eleven, Katie Houghton-Ward, Jessica Singh and Steve Cross preparing for the show down!

This is the fourth in the Secret Walls series, and if you haven’t attended before you should go and check it out. With only black paint and markers available to them, taking many of them out of their artistic comfort zones, these artists will battle it out over the next seven months to see who will reign supreme!

And, if all that wasn’t cool enough, the Secret Walls team are also unleashing live acts as a part of this years round!

“As part of Melbourne Series we are introducing live music prior to the battle as a way of supporting the growing community that comes to Secret Walls events. Performing at Round 1 is the very talented The Psyde Projects. They are Melbourne’s chief party rockers and finest purveyors of that ol’ ‘Golden Age’ hip-hop sound! Their music, their delivery and on-stage chemistry brings a package that rocks the house. Irrespective of taste, crowds jive and bounce to the Psyde Projects flavour!

We’ll also have Cam and Eddie from Kiss FM’s Bionic Boogie Radio show to DJ the night. Over the past 7 years Bionic Boogie has interviewed Mad Professor, Dimitri From Paris and Maseo from De La Soul to name but a few and they also keep a focus on local acts.”

Seriously can’t wait for this – be there!
