Mathas

Bio

Rapper/Producer/Designer

The alias ‘Mathas’ is taken from his name, Tom Mathieson. All ‘emcees’ need a pseudonym and this was the best he could come up with. Or so he’ll tell you. However, behind his bedraggled appearance and self-deprecating humour lies Australian hip-hop’s preeminent lyricist.

Mathas is a social commentator whose lyrics create alternative landscapes on the back of a sharp wit. His characters mirror our flaws and his stories ring truer than our daily headlines. Touching on elements of life from a safe Australian birth to the climatic environment we now exist in, Mathas picks apart his planet with thickly cryptic sarcasm that is overall begrudgingly optimistic.

*”Skyhawks” from the album 10 Pound Hairless Sasquatch won the Urban category of the WAM Song of the Year Competition 2010.
*Best Urban/Hiphop Act nomination at the Western Australian Music Awards (WAMI) 2010

White Sugar – Filmclip Released!

Saturday October 29th, 2011
YouTube Preview Image

THE DEBUT FILMCLIP FROM MATHAS!

Please SHARE & LIKE!!

White Sugar is a little study of personal flaws, habitual behavior and the extreme consumption of heavily refined and processed foods in the western world.

The White Sugar filmclip is a swirling journey through a vicious candyland, were ripe raspberries and chico babies go for the throat and the product advertising of yesteryear repeats in a droning, endless loop. The only way forward is towards total zombification and a posse of buzzword angels on your shoulder lulling you to a lolly-encrusted catatonia.

Producer: John Macliver
Director/Graphics: Tom Mathieson

Ghostpoet Ticket Winner!

Thursday October 20th, 2011

Congratulations to Callum Whitely for winning the double-pass to see Ghostpoet on Sunday Oct 23!

This was his entry:

“Hey

I totally deserve to win the double pass for Ghostpoet on Sunday for many reasons but mainly because i broke my foot doing spin kicks in my garage..little did i know that there were various dumb bells to avoid. The reason for my flailing kicks was that i was pretending to be a Shaolin monk crossed with a metalcore scene kid.

If i win these tickets i will start up a backyard arena for wannabe kung fu try hards/hardcore kids and it will be a youtube sensation.

The main reason i deserve these tickets is that i had the gumption to send through this humiliating tale in the first place.

That is all.

Kind Regards,
Callum Whitely”
