During 2011 Coptic Soldier and Phatchance undertook a combined Hey Where's Your DJ tour, which Chris Singh of ''The AU Review'' caught, "When one thinks of live hip-hop, the usual picture in their head is that of at least one emcee rapping to the beats dropped by at least one DJ – a format often criticised by those outside of hip-hop. Every so often, a hip-hop act comes along and replaces the DJ with a backing band, not only giving their concert much more musical credibility, but allowing for more creative live interpretations of each of their songs... [the pair] decided to start experimenting with instrumental interpretations of their fine Aussie hip-hop tracks, national interest in these two emcees skyrocketed and their resulting acoustic EPs were met with more success than they hoped for."<ref name="Singh 3">{{cite web | url = http://www.theaureview.com/sydney/phatchance-coptic-soldier-jon-reichardt-cogel-stories-for-nothing-oxford-art-factory-02-07-11 | title = Phatchance and Coptic Soldier + Jon Reichardt + Cogel + Stories for Nothing Oxford Art Factory | author = Singh, Chris | work = The AU Review | date = 5 July 2011 | accessdate = 11 March 2017 }}</ref> In May 2011 the pair appeared on ''Hip Hop Show'' on youth radio, Triple J; they were interviewed by the host, Hau Latukefu, who also played their tracks, "No More Waiting" (by Coptic Soldier featuring Phatchance) and "Liquid Company" (by Coptic Soldier, live in the studio).<ref name="Latukefu">{{cite web | url = http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hiphop/playlists/s3231211.htm | title = Playlist | last = Latukefu | first = Hau | authorlink = Hau Latukefu | work = Hip Hop Show | publisher = Triple J (Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)) | date = 30 May 2011 | accessdate = 11 March 2017 }}</ref>
