Prophets performing as guests at the 5 Lands Experience.

The 5 Lands experience is a beloved monthly event on the last Sunday of every month that features the 5 Lands Band and a different guest artist each month.

August’s special guests are the Prophets! PROPHETS are beings in vibrant masks playing raw grooves with multiple saxes, multiple percussion and multiple creative energies. Prophets are the originators of the stylefree movement. Featuring: Birdbrain, Ctrl-Alt-Man, Groovy G, Shazza T, Heaps Mad, Pug, and Ah!Puch! playing saxophones, percussion and other instruments.

The night starts off with a FREE drum circle at 5pm, and then the music starts at 6:30! $10, food available, family friendly. See you there!

Live! direct from Tokyo / Japan come one of a kind samurai rock ‘n’ roll superstars THE ZOOBOMBS!!

Born from the fevered mind of conductor/guitarist Don Matsuo, The Zoobombs traverse the treacherous outcrops of rock’n'roll, psych, garage and funk without so much as breaking a sweat and have assured themselves a cultish devotion all over the world.

With fans including The Flaming Lips & Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, as well as being huge hits at SXSW and named heroes of the Japanese New Wave by Rolling Stone, The Zoobombs are a band not to be missed.

Along for the ride are tour co-conspirators Mesa Cosa. Mexi-party garage noise ratbags and fans of the highest order, Mesa Cosa were so eager to see their favorite band perform that they are funding and organising the whole shebang themselves – airfares from Japan and all.

With more scope for damage than a final battle between Godzilla and Mothra, this beast of a tour awakens this August 17 at Melbourne’s venerated Tote Hotel.

Alana Blackburn (recorders) presents In varietate Concordia – unity through diversity, explores the tonal capabilities of the recorder, an instrument often overlooked, yet has stood the test of time. Alana performs a showcase of every aspect of the recorder, including a display of varying sizes and styles from the tiny sopranino to the large, square subcontra bass. Through compositions using fixed media, and live sampling and processing, Alana will perform Australian premieres together with a newly developed improvised performance with sound technologist Ben Carey.

Peter Farrar (saxophone) for a number of years has been working on various extended techniques for the saxophone that effect the overtone series, tuning and timbre/resonance of the instrument. This performance is an exploration into some unique sound worlds created by these innovations. Peter has been involved with free improvisation for ten years and has played with an interesting variety of musicians. These solo saxophone endeavours are about developing a language natural to the instrument that is not bound by stylistic or aesthetic inhibitions that one encounters in group-improvisational contexts.
