Most of us will likely have heard of Aussie hip hoppers Astronomy Class through their 2014 hit Four Barang In A Tuk-Tuk, which justifiably took the piss out of tourists behaving badly in our fine city. The album from which the song was taken, Mekong Delta Sunrise, is a non-stop hip hop journey through the Kingdom, which uses killer beats, catchy hooks and intelligent lyrics to highlight (and often poke fun at) some of the more pressing cultural issues the band noticed while road tripping through the country in 2012. Teaming up with Cambodian Space Project’s Srey Channthy, the tracks are additionally infused with Khmer rock psychedelia and Channthy’s penetrating, spirited vocals. They’ll be bringing their eclectic, high-energy sound to the Penh for one night only, so save the date and get along for a truly original international gig.
