Mr. Scruff
Thursday 8th January 2009 - The Prince
Fresh from his third album release ‘Ninja Tuna’ and mix for Southport Weekender with Jazzanova, Mr Scruff returns to Melbourne for a highly anticipated night of soul music as only the Scruffy one can bring!
Known for his legendary long sets which seamlessly mix Dub/Reggae/Dancehall with Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Beats n Bobs and all manner of black music, Mr Scruff is the Djs Dj. His productions have become favourites of the Ninja Tune stable and are always good food for Djs, be it his first for the label ‘Get A Move On’, or ‘Shrimp’ and ‘Sweetsmoke’ from his ‘Trouser Jazz’ LP. Let’s not forget wikkid wobblers like ‘Chicken In A Box’ for Cup Of Tea or his remix for early Nightmares on Wax joints.

JUST ANNOUNCED… Here’s some hot International tours just announced…
Sat 14 April 2007
BEN KWELLER (USA)
Singer, songwriter and anti-folk hero Ben Kweller returns to Australia with his latest album, simply titled ‘Ben Kweller’. Formerly of the band Radish, Ben Kweller forged his solo career after recording an album in his tiny Brooklyn, New York, apartment. ‘Freak Out … It’s Ben Kweller’ featured Ben on guitar, keyboard, harmonica, glockenspiel, shakers, and, as he says, whatever else I could find. Under Evan Dando’s guide, he toured the States and Europe before releasing 2002s ‘Sha Sha’. The next year he collaborated with Ben Folds and Ben Lee for a series of dates in Australia and appeared on Ben Folds limited edition EP ‘The Bens’. ‘On My Way’ came in 2004, and two years later he returned again with ‘Ben Kweller’ filled with catchy choruses layered on a base of pop rock with full credit to the multi-talented Ben playing on every instrument on the album. Doors: 8.30pm
Tickets $39.80+bf Corner Box Office 11am-8pm Mon-Sat, 9427 9198 or www.cornerhotel.com
