Bio
There's a new groove in town as [PROPAGANDA KLANN] hits the airwaves and the WWW.
[collective]: 1. formed by collection
[klann]: 1. association of lineages which have certain interests in common, as organisation of marriage, land, common teritory, ceremony.....
The sound is a little bit Massive Attack, a little bit Beastie Boys, ROOTS, PROBOT even, and distinctly Australian. Based in Melbourne the [PROPAGANDA KLANN] make their headquarters and their hits in Melbourne, although have moved to Bribie Island.

"Yet another new Australian outfit to watch out for, Progaganda Klann are possibly the first truly Australian sounding rap based outfit,melding a strong tradition of Aboriginal/Australian music with kicking rhythms, production know-how and political/social clout."
Propaganda Klann, "...a bunch of lads from Melbourne who are big on grooves and distinctly Australian themed raps. A combination of good time funk n roll and indigenous/political issues..."
'...stands out in its attack!..' - Timeoff
