FCK – Tape One Album Launch

Yes Rave presents the launch of FCKs first release "Tape One" with support from special guests Bitumen, Simo Soo, Chihuahuahua (Celeste Potter from Ouch My Face) and DJ spunkgunk (Mo from Habits)

FCK is the new punk/hip hop project from Birraranga/Melbourne artist Amy Wright (formerly from beloved elk). In winter of 2018 FCK wrote and recorded 20 songs in 20 days, collaborating with local producer Baggy who would send a beat over each morning for FCK to work with in her home studio. On the 21st day, they culled 11 songs to leave the 9 tracks that make up Tape One.

FCK’s songs are about class struggle, gender and the noises in between. This couldn’t be more true of the brash, upbeat lead single ‘Masculine,’ while ‘Fighting On’ is an intimate and uplifting chronicle of Wright’s life and formative experiences; of her conviction to keep going, keep fighting and keep hustling at every turn. On ‘Tape One,’ FCK drags herself up from the depths using nothing more than her bootstraps, guts and sheer, absolute self-confidence. And in doing so, FCK drags us up with her.

‘Tape One’ will launch on Saturday August 10 at Nighthawks with support from post-punk industrial unit Bitumen, Yes Rave founder Simo Soo and Chihuahuahua, the brand new project from Celeste Potter, formerly of Ouch My Face, who will be playing the new set live for the first time that night. Plus, Mo from Habits will be spinning tunes as DJ SpunkGunk.
