Astronomy Class "CD" - Pursuit of Happiness

Astronomy Class is a trio made up of producers Chasm, Sir Robbo and vocalist Ozi Batla. John Maddox undertakes bass duties live and on record, while The Tongue adds vocal backing to the live ensemble.

Their 2006 debut Exit Strategy announced a refreshingly reggae influenced hip hop sound, building on the diverse musical backgrounds of the trio. Two singles received lengthy airplay on triple j, A Bright Tomorrow and Done the Sums, while two impressive national tours consolidated their presence in the Australian music scene.

In 2009, the International Year of Astronomy, Astronomy Class released their second album, Pursuit of Happiness, moving deeper into hip hop territory, though seen through the resinous lens of a passion for reggae.
