Driving and taking express trains in recent days through the
Clifton Hill area we have noticed posters, flyers, tags, and other media with
the letters D.Y.E.
Photographs of D.Y.E. at the running ground near Merri Creek Bridge in Clifton Hill
Photographs of D.Y.E. on the south wall of the squash courts near Ivanhoe Railway Station
What is D.Y.E.?, asks Bridie at the car window. Guesses start up.
Guesses get out of control.

Driving and taking express trains in different cars and trains
through Clifton Hill, we come up over a few days with this list. We, being
Philip Harvey, Bridie Harvey, Carol O’Connor, and Donna Ward. Mainly Philip and
Bridie. Donna fixated on Egyptians. But what is D.Y.E.? Googling we find it is
more prosaic, a Melbourne hip-hop band. Two links explain:
These people must spend a lot of time in the Clifton Hill area.
Maybe they live in Clifton Hill, or Fairfield, or Ivanhoe. They expend as much time on street promotion
as music, that’s for sure. The sites explain nothing about the initials.
Perhaps it’s the real names of the band members, rather than their contrived
American hip-hop pseudonyms (Slam Master D, MHZ, and DJ Marshall). Maybe they are Dave, Yuri, and Eric.
