Birmingham v Southampton - full report

Hi wars fans
Its all been happening in middle earth of late as last weekend saw the first of hopefully a 3 series between Brumtown and Sarrrfhampton. The first round being held at the new Brum venue "The Garden" (down the road a little and run the same fam as our usual venue the Rainbow Pub) It was a scorcher of a day and we were knackered from emulsioning the giant new white panel. But excited as we knew the very same panel would be beautiful 12 hrs later with the help of the two, 3 man teams. Namely..

Southampton - Rem1 / Pykee / Dirty30
Birmingham - Phill Blake / Newso / Ouch

We rolled out the red carpet and got the Eddings out (nice 1 Andy G)



With 2 champs on our side we were feeling pretty confident, but as we kicked off the battle i must admit us Brummies were a little worried as Rem and 30 started putting up nasty looking, big characters really fast.. However our boys soon caught up and Ouch began a crazy landscape for the whole Brum end of the panel, with a sick gallion at the far end, it was on.


Rem 1 goes big!


Phill's world


Ill Phill Blake the purple killer

Slobodan and Skeleton supplied us with a silky selection of beats and breaks as ink spilled.. big respect goes out to our Skelly who ran about in the day smacking up A0 posters in the sun, then still came and totally rinsed out the place. The giant 3 on 3 panel continued to grow as about 6 photographers flashed away (where's ya photo's then people!? big up Witts and Keef - Seeds)

The panel got sicker and sicker and as the battle drew to a close it obviously didn't matter who was gonna win.. the panel is a journey and a half. And can still be seen at the "Garden" in Digbeth at the moment if you fancy a look. Everyone had a great time as standard and all the artists were chuffed with the overal piece, big up ya selfs boys! (+ girl!)
But in the end Brumtown took it 3 nil to win the first stage. Bad luck Southampton! We'll be down to see you guys soon. Tons of thanks..
Out to Rem1, Pykee and Dirty30

It looked a little something like this (big up Witts on the photo's)


Dirty30 and Rem murking it!

1-0 to Birmingham.. keep em peeled for more intercity news soon

Philth is the new SW Brum champion...

the full report .. >>>

In brum we know how to do hype. we like hype. secret wars is hype hype hype. so the week before the final we got our man that can mr tony cryze to rock this up opposite the venue..

BIG tings.

So the day arrived, and a historic day it was to be. With an ad trailer 3 panels wide in the centre of the main room and tiered staging around it, we had our arena looking good. we also had all our previous round videos playing on a projector nearby.. all was set. chu, newso, kungfo, zoot, n4 and even philth himslef did some painting on the outside walls of the venue earlier on in the day as we set up. some relly nice stuff too. will slot some pics in here asap

With a general buzz about the place, we were ready to make history once again in brumtown. crew rolled up right on time as the doors opened at 10pm. with a great atmosphere developing the various residents kept the beats and ryhmes flowing and people got a spot in anticipation of what was to be a killer battle. a seemingly nervous sam bevlak and a standardly chilled phill blake were both hungry for the crown . . .

royal gets things rockin..

and battle commences at bang on midnight 00:00

Bevlak begins his piece with a spilt ink bottle ...

..which eventually flows into the waves which support Gallion Bevlak; laden with giant edding cannons on a mission to wipe out the Phillth from the streets of Brum.

Phill puts up what seems to be the outlines of a big burner ....

and later adds a sting in his pieces tail with "bevwak" tied to a tree..





skeleton and royal alongside seeds and a superhuman glowing reeps kill sound during the battle..

the crowd, judges, media, bar staff and even security were transfixed as both artists went to work. As the 2 hours passed really quickly, suddenly it was judging time .... rhubarb radio representative Danny gave the first vote to Bevlak..

then World DMC Champion 2008 DJ Switch gave one vote to Phill.

It was all down to the crowd .... and by a few decibels (four i think) Phill took it !



seeds and slobz getting the decibel reader filmed..

so we have a new king in Brum .... Phill Blake aka Philth takes the crown.. aswell as £1000, a MASSIVE box of EDDING prizes, a MASSIVE box of BENCH504 goodies and the accollade of
BIRMINGHAM SERIES 2 CHAMPION !

video coming soon..
