Remember when Memphis Bleek kicked that awesome freestyle at the start of a Jay-Z album and it was like the passing of the torch, from the legend to the new kid on the block?

No? Ok.

Anyway, this upcoming tour, which sees over-loved Triple J rockers, Faker, team up with up-n-comers, Sparkadia, is kinda like the Australian indie pop-rock equivalent of this. "Memphis who?" I hear you say. Yeah, exactly.

The Enmore Theatre show is also an all ages event. So prepare for the back alleys of Enmore and Newtown to be full of 16 year-olds getting totally fucked up on Passion Pop or highly-taxed alco-pops.
