Pott Street's MC O'Zee in the studio

‘Struggle’ by Pott Street has been added to Northern Territory ABC Local Radio playlist!

‘Struggle’ is the first single from Pott Street’s debut album, High North. Members of the Territory hip hop band O’Zee (above) and Dizzle were guests on the Territory-wide Evenings program on ABC Radio, Tuesday June 29, where they chatted to presenter Briony Petch about their regional NT tour, High North and the ‘Best Emerging Artist’ Award they won at the 2009 Indigenous Music Awards (IMAs), which also included a $10 000 touring grant, courtesy of Artback NT. They also played a couple of tracks from the album.

Struggle was added to the ABC radio playlist this week. The band is in its first week of a Territory-wide tour, scheduled to take in Alice Springs and other remote communities – weather permitting!

Zac from the band reports: “The tour is going great.. well, we are stranded in Alice due to the rain so we can’t go to the Granites and Yuendemu but we are sorting out some more gigs and workshops down here for the week – but it’s still been so much fun! We rocked Annie’s Place Saturday night and the workshops at Hidden Valley and GAP Youth Centre have been wicked. There are so many talented kids down here and we’ve made some really cool songs with them!”

Zac will keep us updated on how the tour is going so watch this space!
