DENNI

Growing Pains

A woman with luxuriously tattooed arms sits with her hands joined beneath her chin, elbows on her knees. She is wearing a brash red beret and large red sunglasses with no frames. There's a red oil barrel in the background.

6pm

pakana performer Denni Proctor—joined by Greeley, DJ Dameza, and a rotating squad of accomplices—presents pieces from her newest EP: an almost—chaotic collection held together by her colourful voice and storytelling, as well as some older works and whatever fun her special guests bring.

KILAT

9.45pm

Raw, explorative black metal from a Naarm three-piece influenced by Nusantara and ancient Javanese traditions. Let your hair down.

Surfilm

8.45pm

An assemblage of new and old surf footage and ephemera from Tassie film maker, designer and pro surfer Dion Agius, accompanied by a spontaneously composed live surf-rock soundtrack from Brian Ritchie and Associates. The band will be seeing the footage for the first time, guaranteeing truly responsive improvisation.

Prospectus Saxophone Quartet

Saxophone Special

7.15pm

Saxophone quartet led by ex-New Yorker Phillip Johnston—featuring Tasmanians Danny Healy, Spike Mason and Tristan Meffre—play a suite of tunes by Steve Lacy (originally released as Saxophone Special), plus a handful of other Lacy works and originals of Phillip’s own. Plenty of saxophone, plenty of special.
