The Slew Australian Tour Poster

As a long-time fan of Kid Koala (Eric San), being part of the Australian tour poster for The Slew was both a professional highlight and a personal thrill. Sometimes, meeting your heroes turns out to be everything you'd hoped for—and this experience was exactly that.

The Project

This poster was created to promote The Slew's Australian tour, a project that showcased Kid Koala’s signature turntablism combined with a heavy, rock-infused rhythm section—featuring former members of Wolfmother. The challenge was to visually capture the raw, high-energy performance that defined this unique collaboration.

The live show had an intense, immersive atmosphere with deep red lighting and dynamic movement. To reflect that energy, I focused on tight compositions, dramatic lighting, and an emphasis on motion—showcasing the synergy between Kid Koala and the band. The final poster design built on this energy with bold, distressed typography and a deep red-black aesthetic that matched the music’s grit.

The poster was widely used across venues and digital platforms to market the tour, successfully capturing the intensity of The Slew’s live experience. Beyond the promotional success, this project reinforced my belief that great collaborations come from both professional expertise and genuine passion for the work.

Kid Koala Presents The Slew: Live
Six turntables meets the ex-Wolfmother rhythm section.

A couple of years back Eric San (aka Kid Koala) and Dylan J. Frombach (aka Dynomite D) were approached to soundtrack a new documentary feature film that was in production. Koala was already well known for his uncanny turntable manipulation, whilst Dylan had remixed Money Mark and collaborated with the Beastie Boys, amongst others. The duo worked for a long time on the psych rock-influenced score, only for the filming to collapse and any release to be canned. Although the film may never see the light of day, its music is about to be brought to life on stage.

Recently Koala & Dylan met the former rhythm section of Grammy Award-winning Australian rock band Wolfmother and began telling them all about the film and its lost music. Chris Ross and Myles Heskett loved the clips and urged that the material had to be heard; subsequently Kid Koala and the guys decided to put a show on the road.

After intensive rehearsals the show is now ready to go. Featuring drums, bass/keys and the DJs working across a truly excessive six turntables, the set is seventy minutes of raw guitar cuts and heavy beats. We can guarantee that you will never have heard anything quite like this and also that you are unlikely to again.

Anyone who has seen previous Kid Koala events will not be disappointed - from Kid Koala's incendiary solo turntable spectaculars to the Nufonia book launch, Deltron 3030 live to the Short Attention Span Theater.

The Slew live band consists of Kid Koala and long-time touring partner DJ P-Love on turntables with Chris Ross and Myles Heskett in the rhythm section.

Brash, loud and defiantly turned up to eleven. The Slew Tour is coming to your town. Don't miss it.
