I just learned of the existence of Downsyde, a not-unsuccessful Perth hiphop group. According to wikipedia:
Downsyde's origin occurred when MCs Optamus (Scott Griffiths) and Dyna-mikes (Shahbaz Rind) were in Year 11 at Craigie Senior High School.,[1] were they took part in a school talent quest in 1996.
Also in Year 11 at Craigie SHS in 1996: Yours truly.
I would say it was more of a talent show than a talent quest, by the way. I was there, though.
So, I saw their first ever performance.
Accordingly, I can definitely say that I saw them before they sold out - or sold anything.
Weird.
