While the Federal Government urges Australians to get behind what is essentially an extension of the Intervention into the Northern Territory for the next ten years under a new title ‘Stronger Futures’, a funk/hip hop crew – ironically called Whitehouse – are urging their listeners to oppose what they view as more of the same government oppression on Australia’s first peoples.
Whitehouse have been agitating for social change from the stage and from the studio since they originally crewed up in 2006 and in July 2012 they are taking their messages backed with funky bass lines and solid drum and guitar grooves to the wider community on their first East Coast Tour, promoting their debut album, aptly titled A Funky
Intervention. Joining the ride is conscious hip hop crew Impossible Odds from Brisbane and hotly-rotated Yung Warriors from Melbourne.
On the eve of their upcoming East Coast tour, Whitehouse will be unleashing their new single “The 26th” to Radio, taken from their debut album “A Funky Intervention” – which has already been enjoying support from Community Radio across the country.
