  • As soon as I go on about how underground this site is now, the hits start building up.
  • I'd like to welcome our visitors from the Czech Republic who for some reason are where the second most visitors are coming from below Australia. I like you guys too.
  • Third most visitors are coming from Russia which is also a mystery to me. I think these guys are coming in through the featured artist links from ArtCrimes..
  • Then comes the UK, the US, Italy, Finland, Netherlands, Brazil, France., Mexico and the rest of the countries have too little hits to be worth a mention.
  • G'day, Zdra-stvu-eetee, Nazdar, Greetings, Howdy, Ciao, Hei!, Goede Dag, Olá, Bonjour, and Hola! from Watarush.

  • Welcome to Watarush. Officially the most underground graffiti site on the net. We are topping out at over 10 hits a day. Let's not rush here or we may overload the servers.
  • For another site that is not quite as underground as this, check out my boy's site, The Ayems. It's not like I haven't repped them up enough. Their pics have been on the left, Feature Fliks side bar for over three years now. Pure laziness.
  • If you are wondering what happened to What's featured artist section, it didn't survive the back-up. It was the last folder to be backed up and you know how it is with a dial-up connection. If anyone has copies then help us out aye. Or What if you are out there, send me some fliks through email.

  • I've scrounged up some video I've taken over the past few years. I'm thinking about doing another mixbag graff vid except I don't think I have enough footage to make something decent.
  • If anyone out there has some graff footage they would want put into the next vid, hit me up with an email so I can give you details about uploading it to me. It has to be decent footage and it can come from anywhere, not just Perth. Just make sure you've filmed it yourself or have permission to use it.
  • The last vid I made all those years ago are still floating around the net today. I remember they were getting over a thousand hits a week when they first came out, which was big for a small site like this one. They've since had craploads more downloads around the world.
  • They were made with a dodgy little digital camera. How people thought they were good is beyond me but I'm determined to actually make a good one this time.
  • This is where you can help out. Go get some exposure and you'll get credited along with anyone else involved. Just act smart and don't injure yourselves or others in getting that footage.

  • Watarush.com is now known as watarush.com.au .. Hopefully it won't be too hard to remember.
  • I should have implemented this rule a long time ago to maintain some maturity. No one under 16 years of age is allowed on the site. I can't stop you but hopefully when your mum catches you looking at naked chicks on our banners, she gives you a belt across the face!
  • What the heck, I decided to put the forum back up. It's what made this site what it was. Without the whinging and the bitching, it just wouldn't be Perth. This time though, lets keep it out of the forums. Instead check out The Worst of Perth for a good source of humor and laughs about how shit this town can be. Although deep inside we all love this place otherwise what the fuck are you still doing here?

  • Watarush.... If you have found this site, you have mad googling skills.
  • As you can see, the site is pretty much the same as it was before the shutdown minus the forum and photopost gallery. It's more here to act as an archive than anything but if there are requests, I may put a forum back up.
  • Enjoy the pictures. Back then when some of them were first put up, they were some of the best around at that time but as with everything, graffiti has evolved and now alot of talented kids out there are into it. For those that use to do it but no longer and have their pics up, enjoy the trip down memory lane.
  • Watarush.com got hijacked and I no longer have control over it so it is no longer. I'm currently contemplating other domain names out there such as watarush.net, watarush.org, watarush.info. We'll see how it goes....

N E W S - 2004/July/20
  • After some issues with the old forum which required me to delete it or get kicked off the host, I decided to replace it with a new one which means we have to start again with another forum. This had nothing to do with its content but more with the actual forum software itself. It also means a new gallery to go with it but the old gallery will remain as an archive for a limited time so it is suggested that if you have posted any pics in the old gallery that you want to keep, you should download and transfer them over to the new one. The old gallery can be found here.
N E W S - 2004/July/17
  • The forum is and will be down for a while until a new one is set up. Until then, no new members can join and only the gallery will be partly functional.

Sent over from Melbourne is another mini graff vid available for download. This new vid goes for over 3 minutes in length and contains footage and fliks of mostly Melbourne panels with a few pieces and freights thrown in for good measure, all while a mad Aussie Hiphop track is playing over it. Download it and have a look at an insight in to what gets done over east.

 

U P D A T E - 2004/April/20
  A new vid has been uploaded which is basically, a mix-bag of old footage which has been shoved together with a music track playing over it. It is in windows media format so Mac users will have to download Windows Media Player for it to work. There's not much finished footage here, just a lot of action shots which is shit but if you search the site you'll find some of the finished pieces.
N E W S - 2004/April/14
  • You can now listen to some mad tracks while you browse this site. Nine tracks have been added to the music player (thing in bottom left corner) that work on slower connections so check out some hiphop tracks from around the world. Still need an Aussie track in there though so any suggestions or submissions would be nice.
  • Good luck and well wishes to Mudz who leaves Perth again, this time for Adelaide and then on to the rest of the world. (I know you hate Perth bro but we would like to see you back here some time to get stoned or pissed like old times.. keep sending fliks and keep in touch.)

  • It's been about a month since the old forum was killed and replaced by the new picture post and forum and already there are over 300 members and over 350 posted pictures in the gallery. Those wondering why the main site has been neglected is because I have found it easier to throw pics in the gallery including pics that have no where to go on the main site, then to do an update.
  • I will eventually update the main site with pics but if you want to see them first then check out the picturepost/gallery weekly for pics uploaded by me and a bunch of other contributors, props to those people!
  • For those interested in statistics, Watarush has webstats that is now open for anyone to view (compared to the old host where only I could view them).
  • Props go out to Hagar and Yok for throwing their "getting kicked out" open house the other night. A lot of heads and no cops showed up and apart from bits and pieces it was all a blur for me (never drinking goon again!). Sorry guys for any carpet stains I may have contributed to.

  Couple of video clips have been re-uploaded for download so anyone who missed out the first time can get them now. I'll re-release the other half to the first one later on and add more new clips down the track. From now on, I'll just be working on small sequences of shots upto 2minutes long instead of the 4 minute short film of before, it might suck more but it requires less effort on me and will result in more clips being made.
N E W S - 2004/March/06
  • The site has been moved and not much has changed apart from the new picture post. To use and view pictures in the Post, register in the forum and you'll then be able to use both.
  • When you register, use a valid email address, otherwise you won't be able to activate your username. Don't worry, you won't receive any mail on how small your dick is or whether you want a home loan, your email remains private.
N E W S - 2004/February/22
  • Over the next few weeks, Watarush will be moving to a different host with more bandwidth and space which means the videos will go back up and hopefully it will give me some motivation to make some new ones.
  • The move to a different host also means the end of the current forum which will be replaced by something new and improved.
  • People with prepaid mobiles that are locked to a service provider can unlock them at this site. You will have to register but it's free.
  • Random news for the day is the discovery of a baby dragon which has been pickled in a jar.

  A treat today with Drapht's album cover artwork by the berner machine known as Dash.. For those who don't know, Drapht is a talented local MC who has been doing shows here for a few years and is soon to be heading over east with fellow Perth MC, Matty B, for the Culture of Kings tour.. Drapht's album, "Pale Rider", is available in stores like Montys, Dadas and Central Station so go down and get yourselves a copy and support local independant artists. Also check out the album review on ozhiphop.com!
U P D A T E - 2004/January/14
  • A few more fliks added to the walls and train section I forgot to put in before, thanks to Dlae, Her, and Mudle.
  • My main email has been not working for a while and I just found out so anyone who has sent me anything in the last month or so and have not received a reply, it's not cause I hate you.
  • Here's a random story I found amusing, people hacking drive-through fast food places to abuse customers as they place their orders. Sounds like harmless fun to me.
U P D A T E - 2004/January/12
  • A whole year without updates, I think I've broken the world record for slackest webmaster around. A few new fliks for the new year have been added to get the ball rolling again thanks to Kwack & Yok. My new year's resolution is to do more around here.
  • Oh yeah, the forum has taken up nearly all of the webspace so there will be mass deletions happening in there, moderators in there are asked to get of their arses and start doing some deleting now with the old threads.
U P D A T E - 2002/December/12
  • It's been a while but some new fliks are added to the walls and trains section thanks to Eldum.
  • Due to the site's traffic exceeding the monthly bandwidth limit and causing upto a week of downtime last month, forum users are only allowed to attach original fliks that they either have shot or scanned. (all other fliks will have to be linked too)
  • The new graff footage is still not ready, more footage is needed, I guess it can be put up now but it wouldn't be worth the download.
N E W S - Say Hello to 2 New Featured Artists - 2002/May/16
  • Die and What from FDP have joined the list of some of Perth's best writers to display some of their aerosol work online. They join Dest, High 5 and Slam on Watarush's featured artist section.
