takes over this SAT 28 MAR to celebrate the release of their debut EP - don’t sleep on this one!

ChillCheney started as the raw, solo project of Wiradjuri rapper Lance Cheney — a voice forged in truth, intensity, and hard-earned perspective. But in 2025, the project evolved into something much bigger: a powerhouse live act fusing hard-hitting hip hop with the urgency of rock and the soul of live performance.

Fronted by both ChillCheney and powerhouse vocalist Sahaja, the group delivers an emotionally charged set that hits like a punch and moves like a moshpit. With Tristan Field ripping on electric guitar and Tom Kelly holding it down on drums, ChillCheney has transformed into a fully-fledged band — gritty, explosive, and built for the stage.

The crew is gearing up for their most ambitious show yet — a full live performance to mark the release of ChillCheney’s debut EP. What began as a solo journey has become a shared statement: powerful, personal, and impossible to ignore.

Blair Dunlop, award-winning British singer-songwriter and guitarist, has now released 5 albums, 1 live album and toured around the globe. All of this in a relatively short career is astounding alone, but what sets Blair apart from his peers is the lyrical and musical maturity with which he writes. His third album ‘Gilded’ was released in May 2016 on his own label – Gilded Wings – and was widely acclaimed gaining BBC Radio 2 Playlist status for the two single releases (‘The Egoist’ and ‘356’). Prior to this Blair released his acclaimed album ‘House Of Jacks’ in mid 2014 which lived up to the promise of his 2012 debut ‘Blight and Blossom’ (the quality of which contributed to his winning the BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award). 2024 saw Blair the release of his fifth studio album ‘Out of the Rain’ on his own label to rave reviews, cementing his place as one of Britain’s most exciting talents.
