The Winnie Coopers

With lashings of soul and a squirt of reggae rolled out on a bed of humorous yet socially conscious hip-hop, the Coopers’ are a tasty treat.

These five funk connoisseurs from the Gold Coast get cabooses shaking with what was originally the delicious dj/mc duo. The Educator’s roster has since expanded to a five-piece live team featuring Eloquence (vocals/guitar), Young Tubs (Bass), Bigbad (DJ/percussion) and the newest addition to the family Captain James Crook (drums) who are ready to take on the hungriest of audiences.

As well as spreading their spirit all over the east-coast of Australia with five-star performances at the Big Day Out, Good Vibrations, BBQ Breaks and Parklife, the Winnie Coopers have merged minds with international clients such as De La Soul, Jurassic 5, The Beastie Boys, Lyrics Born and Ugly Duckling. Throughout the years, one major fan of the Coopers’ has been Triple J, who added the track ‘Success’ to high rotation, chose the group as a Next Crop Artist and Hip Hop Show Award Winner, plus they recorded the Coopers for Live at the Wireless and JTV.

These funkmasters have also received top ratings as winners of the Musicoz Hip Hop Award, QMusic Songwriters Award and a RADF touring grant. Their videos for Geek Manifesto and Analgesic Remix have been staples on Rage and Channel V.

With their third studio album in the works, keep an eye and ear out. They are sure you will be impressed. 'Love you all' - The Winnie Coopers.
