Future Entertainment, On Point Promotions, Channel [V] and NOVA present…
THE 'TASTY' DOWN UNDER TOUR!
Finally, the highly anticipated tour of the young, fresh and irresistibly tasty KELIS can proudly be announced. Future Entertainment and On Point Promotions are very proud to present a series of intimate, strictly limited capacity shows for the most seductive R&B artist to explode onto the charts this year. Following the massive success of her first single "Milkshake" and now the release of the second "Trick Me", KELIS is set to ignite Australia stages with her acclaimed fully live show!
It's been four long, chaotic years since Kelis (pronounced kuh-leese!) first captivated the worldwide public's ears, eyes and imagination when she beat up a cheating boyfriend and led an angry pack of women down the street screaming, "I hate you so much right now! Aaaargh!" in the video for the single "Caught Out There" off her debut album 1999's Kaleidoscope.
Kaleidoscope became an instant smash, spawning three Top 40 hits ("Caught Out There," "Good Stuff" and "Get Along With You"), in addition to nabbing the Brit trophy for Best International Newcomer, the Q statue for Best Video ("Caught Out There") and the NME prize for Best R&B Singer. Backed by an all-girl eight-piece band, KELIS bolstered her international fame by putting together a galvanizing live show, in which she subverted expectations with her electrifying rendition of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
Now, with the release of her hotly anticipated new album "Tasty" and the experience of collaborating with some of the most prolific producers of our time, the boldly original 24-year-old siren proves that creating a provocative modern classic not only takes time, but is also well worth the unbearable wait.
Buttressed by an indestructible foundation of superb tracks supplied by virtually all of today's hottest hip-hop and R&B producers -including the Neptunes, Andre 3000 from OutKast and fiance NAS - "Tasty" represents a kind of 'coming out' for KELIS. Her first two albums were created under the tutelage of the Neptunes' Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, who she's known since she was a teenager. And although their presence is felt in five cuts on Tasty, including the sensational 'Milkshake,' the album is a noticeably stronger reflection of KELIS's distinctly pro-female and sexually forthright vision.
KELIS has refused to allow herself to be easily defined or pigeonholed by collaborating with artists as diverse and unexpected as Busta Rhymes ("What It Is"), Timo Maas ("Help Me"), Foxy Brown ("Candy"), Richard X ("Finest Dream"), OutKast ("Dracula's Wedding"), Guru ("Supa Love") and, of course, Nas ("Hey, Nas").
"I'm no longer the rainbow-haired girl screaming through your boom box," Kelis proclaims. Indeed, the thoroughly unique 'round the way girl from uptown is all grown up.'
Don't miss KELIS live in concert backed by an all female 6 piece band.
The album Tasty featuring the singles Milkshake and Trick Me is out now through Virgin.

When Did Future Lose The Whole Idea of EDM and start doing it for the money, or has this always been the way.
Future have done many great things, and brought many awesome parties our way, im just shocked that they're branching out and bringing this kind of act to Melbourne under their name.
i just had to vent :nervous: |

I'm guessing Future is only doing the promotions - Metro is actually bringing out Kelis.
I'm saying this having spoken to the guy who manages Metro. He was at our school for careers night talking about the hospitality industry. This was just after i went n saw Planet Funk, Junior Jack n Kid Creme at Metro so i was asking him about it, and he said Future put up no risk. They just did the promoting as it was Metro who put up the $50,000ish cheque to get the dudes in to play.
So really, it's Metro who's popping out - no suprise as it is a commercial club :p |

| maybe future realised that if it moved into other areas of music event then they'd grab a fair chunk of cash given the amount of people who would actually go to that event |

Who cares? It's called running a business. Do you seriously think they should turn down events just so they can be l33t chin-strokers?
As long as they don't do something dumb like bring out Craig David for Godskitchen I'm not fussed. |

fair enough. you just seem to get irked by such issues
i.e. tiesto being played on fox, morillo's comment to fuse music to increase popularity, future's endeavour to promote kelis. |
