Ilia has combusted musical poetry in Newtown,Glebe and Kings Cross streets since 2003.
Ilia loops vocal percussion and steel string guitar creating Brazilian,hip hop and funk rhythms. Comrade James adds live melodic groove bass. Above this sonic canvas, Ilia adds improv. spoken word and melodic rap describing the street as it unfolds around him, for people to dance and re-connect to alienated public space.
