Yesterday we performed at Perth Festival in support of two artists we love – Kate Tempest & Omar Musa – on a stage sponsored by fossil fuel giant Chevron. Rather than say no to the opportunity, we thought we would use the platform to speak a few truth’s about why Chevron is the wrong company to sponsor our premier arts festival.
Watch the video and catch our live performance of Rights & Responsibilities, before listening to Shareef drop a few truth bombs on Chevron.
Text of the full speech:
Come along to the hometown launch and live performance of #1 Solace Lane !!!
Supported by Wisdom2th, the launch will be held on January 12, 6-8pm at Studio 9, Classic Sounds. The venue is in our hometown of Kelmscott, just a few hundred metres from where we recorded and mixed #1 Solace Lane – the perfect little venue for our local launch.
We’re keeping the night short, sweet and all ages to make this as accessible as possible for our fans, family and friends. If that’s you, we hope to see you there.

It’s here! Our music video for ‘Not My Way feat. Paradox & Callex’.
Content warning: suicide, depression, anxiety.
Perth Hip Hop trio Selekt Few broach the delicate topic of depression in the storytelling music video, Not My Way.
Supported by Paradox and Callex, they rap frankly about feelings of depression, anxiety and being overwhelmed by the realities of every day life.
The song with its rock-ballad style hook acknowledges the daily personal struggles, encouraging people to continue to live.
Two young boys, who characterise rappers Percuss and Shareef, are seduced by the idea of death in the moving and emblematic music video directed by Steve Browne.
