Class Trip is a seven piece hip-hop fused soul outfit consisting of soulful male lead vocals, powerhouse backing vocalists, jazz inspired guitar, funk Rhodes and live hip-hop drums and bass. After gigging the Sydney and Newcastle circuit for 3 years with the band Supernova, vocalist Nick Gosper and guitarist Ben Oastler moved to Melbourne and formed Class Trip with ex-members of Fizard (2003 Triple J Unearthed Winners), Blue King Brown and other Melbourne jazz musicians. Class Trip gigs are a rollercoaster of funky upbeat, cool and bluesy soul and everywhere in between. “Damn, what a voice... and y'all have nailed ‘that’ sound” - Kid Confucius.

BIG THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!!
