Hooray For Everything!!!

The first album from Itch-E & Scratch-E, aka Andy Rantzen and Paul Mac, titled Itch-E Kitch-E Koo (1992) spawned the single Sweetness and Light which became a crossover hit breaking down barriers between the underground and the overground.   Then came an ARIA Award for Best Dance Release in 1994, and Paul fulfilled every parent’s nightmare when he thanked the ecstasy dealers in his speech.  The song’s deep connection was recently confirmed when it appeared in JMag’s peer-voted Greatest Australian Songs of All Time.  

Fast-forward 15 years from Itch-E and Scratch-E’s first beats, and, over several beers, the duo re-discovered their creative friendship. More beers followed, and they found themselves in Scratch-E’s home studio making music.  The guys were having a ball, so a weekly date followed where they jammed together into the wee hours of the morning.  Those sessions can now be heard on their new album, HOORAY FOR EVERYTHING!!!.
