Episode 35. Boomtown.. Represent, Represent! featuring The Optimen

It’s an honour to be joined by K-West, Samsonite and DJ Damage of The Optimen for the 35th instalment of Beers, Beats & The Biz.

From their early incarnations gigging around Brisbane to the formation of The Optimen and on to where they’re all at now across various states and continents, this is a dope episode.

We talk the come-up, the clubs, the radio shows, the albums, the music and the era. We talk Boomtown rivalries, a bit of graffiti, logos, Red Tape Renegades, where dudes are at today and almost signing to Obese Records.

Between it all we get a history lesson from DJ Damage who joined Lazy Grey in the early 90’s to form Towering Inferno, we here about what was involved in making the Give It Up video and get a brief glimpse into the inner workings of some of Boomtown’s finest.

Thanks to The Optimen for their time and contribution. We are live now on iTunes, Soundcloud and Spotify: download, rate, subscribe, comment, share and thank you for tuning in to Beers, Beats & The Biz.
