Every motherf**kin’ day homie.

We were recently blessed to have our man the internationally known street artist OD visit Balmores HQ, and while he was here he made sure to throw up an insane piece on the one and only Tupac Shakur right outside our building.
Having graced walls around the world with his art, including the famous 5 Pointz in NYC and Melbourne’s own Hosier Lane, NZ-born OD has been killing it armed with nothing but some spray cans and a love for the culture.

Salute to OD and the dope 2Pac piece outside Balmores HQ; Pac now watches over us.
Shoutout to Jason Manukau and ThaBrotherz for helping to make it happen.

Over the past few weeks, Balmores has been involved in the ARTillery Human Rights Arts Festival, run by Amnesty International.
Balmores provided support in the ways that we could for the following events as part of ARTillery:

› Hip Hop For Amnesty showcase representing fundamentals of hip hop culture and the importance of human rights at First Floor 393
› Risk – 48 hour Performance Generator performance pieces based on Amnesty International Campaign Individuals at Risk at the Collingwood Underground Arts Park

Over the course of 10 days, we were blessed to witness the skills of great local poets, emcees, producers and performing artists amongst other talents focusing their energies for a collective aim. Human rights are something that we in western society often overlook and too often take for granted. But we have … Read More »

Last week it all changed for us at Balmores as we moved into our own studio space in Williamstown, Melbourne, taking one big step closer towards living the dream that we’ve been chasing.

Walking in armed with broomsticks, leftover paint and a youthful determination, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work turning a dusty room into what was to ultimately become the Balmores creative hub.
A few days later and we had it all set out. Furniture in position, computers in place, music bumping and creativity set to high!

All of us here at Balmores would like to take the chance to thank all of our fans and supporters who have been down with us over the years; you have all helped make this possible!

So come with us and let us show you around, and hopefully we can keep you looking … Read More »

Searching through vinyls in hope for a good sample to use for a beat, we can’t help but admire the enrichment to life that music provides.
Here at Balmores hip hop has definitely been a huge influence in all of our lives and we really believe in the unifying power that it holds.

Beats, barbeques, beverages and friends. That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?

Last weekend we hit up a local dyno day charity event to see some beautiful metal and hear the engines roar.

Shoutout to Caroline and her team for representing and keeping the ladies looking good as the engines kept the fellas excited.

All for a good cause.

Walking through the streets, we just thought we’d make our mark. Here. And here. And there.
We’ve got some stickers. Want some?

The East Brunswick Club recently played host to a night filled with rhythmic sounds and great acts along the lines of David Dallas and MoneyKat. The crowd was ready for a show and these guys were more than happy to deliver!

Big ups to all the performers who treated all of us to some great music.

On the night of May 28, 2009, a popular local nightclub in Melbourne opened its doors for another night of business.
The club was bumping; with a wild dance-floor, filled to capacity and drinks spilling everywhere, a huge crowd had gathered to celebrate the official launch party of a newcomer to the scene. That newcomer was Balmores Clothing.

Oh how much we’ve grown.
2 years ago, armed with nothing but some clean tees and a headstrong desire to take on the streetwear scene, Balmores threw itself into the fray, eager to make our mark.

Fast forward to now and we look back at our beginnings with a smile. Overcoming obstacles, making many friends and mistakes along the way, we’ve grown into the Balmores you see now. But one thing we know has stayed constant is our philosophy; we started Balmores wanting to make great, … Read More »
