The People’s Republic is an initiative established by the federal government in early 2006. This acclaimed project was spawned with the intent to encourage kids to pull down their pants, drink to get drunk, get crunk and generally partake in slapdash acts of pandemonium without a clue as to why they are doing them… and all this whilst dancing. The luminaries behind this meekly applauded initiative are Nick Adams (aka Rick Jagger) and Sam Cooper (aka Sam I Am). Nick was a faux high school hero turned pin-me-up ‘pin-me-down’ kidult-model. Unfortunately he was completely average at all catwalk and Kmart catalogue endeavors and was forced by relentless hunger and impoverished surrounds to become a DJ. Similarly Sam thought he was the “big guy on Campus”, but he got sick of fighting blokes, so he decided to get all arty farty and try to juggle beats instead. Electric-bop-rock became the boy’s forte behind the ones and twos and they relished in this talent at famed clubs and cheap Greek wedding’s around Sydney. You may also recall Sam’s feat while DJing at your little sis’s 18th b-day. At least now you know where she was for that hour during the speeches and sponge cake.
