As part of the Darebin Music Feast, there's a Sunday full of Melbourne's top Reggae bands to be enjoyed. Headlining are local legends Centre & The South, who are joined by up-and-coming counterparts King River Rising and Beautiful Moana. It's the perfect chance to get you're groove on to some of the best in town.

From humble beginnings launching as a roots duo in 2009 Melbourne’s Centre & The South have evolved to become a roots reggae powerhouse incorporating elements of funk, soul and groove.
Centre & The South released their debut album ‘Yadah’ in early 2016 and to celebrate the band toured Australia’s east coast. ‘Yadah’ received critical acclaim across online outlets The Music, Happy Blog and Tonedeaf to name a few. The release also scored airplay across over 150 stations country wide including youth broadcaster Triple J and charting across the national AMRAP radio charts.

Hot out of the studio, King River Rising are set to be as tight and seasoned than ever, with the release of their latest EP ‘Lucid’.

By skilfully blending deep grooves with harmonies and melodies, King River Rising are all accomplished musicians in their own right and together they project a tight knit band that exude passion.

Sporting an authentic 9-piece line up, the band’s energy is sure to spread a healthy dose of positive vibes.

Born in the plain fields between Venezuela and Colombia, ‘Joropo’ [huh-roh-poh] is a musical form that reflects the lifestyle of the ‘Llanos’. The main sound comes from the influence of the African, European and Indigenous cultures and is one that is easy to remember being so distinct in both harmony and rhythm. Cimarron was created to showcase Llanera [ja-neh-ra] music in Australia as a way of cultural connection showing people the beautiful sounds of the Maracas, Cuatro (Venezuelan four-string Guitar) and Harp combined. Come join us on a journey through Venezuela with the first Llanera band in Melbourne.

Reaching deep into the crypt for Halloween, and continuing our "caucasins go home!" or People of Colour series, we at CineCult303 are proud to present Chester Novell Turner's 1987 OutsiderArt masterpiece: TALES From The QuadeaD Zone!

It doesn't get any more independent than this. Independent of sanity, money, logic, and THE MAN, TALES From The QuadeaD Zone was long the most sought after & expensive of VHS releases, with copes going for thousands of dollars. The reason? TALES From the QuadeaD Zone was shot on video by Charles (who also directed, wrote, edited, produced, everything) & his partner in crime, Shirley L. Jones, who then self distributed it by driving from town to town & selling direct to video stores. This wasn't their first rodeo, however, having previously made the infamous BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL, which continues to freak people out till this day.
Long considered lost, & long considered to be the work of mad persons who surely ended their days in an insane asylum, TALES From The QuadeaD Zone is here to warp your sense of reality, dropping you deep into the true adsurdity of a nightmare. For example, the title refers to four tales of horror....but there are only three tales in the film. Why? To quote Rubber, NO REASON. Forget IT, this is the film of true clown monstrosity! Social & familial disintegration! MADNESS!

The feature is only 62 minutes long, so we will have a few fun shorts to spice up the night. As a tribute to the late great master, we will be screening Tobe Hooper's first short film, THE HEISTERS.
Get your Halloween season underway with weirdness, only at CineCult303.
Feature starts at 7:30pm but get there early for best couches. Gold coin donation for entry. Drinks available for purchase at the bar.
All CineCult303 sessions are 18+ & are designed to make you feel odd.

CineCult303 is a not-for-profit film night dedicated to keeping the weird alive. Gold coin donation for entry. All proceeds will be donated to local arts organisations to keep the weird growing.

A MALAISE can be best described as a slump, a discomfort that at times can be felt through the fingers, yet can just as easily disappear. In a moment of synchronicity, Soft Power take to the front bar of Bar 303 to challenge the slump with a sneak peak of some unreleased and unheard material that may be featured on a new album (wink wink). And in another moment of unseen delight, Seth Henderson will be performing solo and tantalising your hearts with folkloric stories filled with wanderlust and yearning. Only 5 bucks on the door. Come get it!

Arsenic and Old Lace:

Lost in a macabre black and white world, where dreams and ideals are shattered and buried in a window seat, arsenic and old lace emerged, old souls with bitter elegance, tainted somewhat, yet completely disarmed by the power of interpretation.

Mal Webb and Kylie Morrigan

Vocal adventurer, multi-instrumentalist and looping beatboxing songwriter Mal sings his brain provoking songs using all sorts of vocal techniques, guitar, mbira, slide trumpet, trombone, chromatic harmonica and a loop recording pedal called Derek. And Kylie (who's played with Orchestra Victoria and the likes of Stevie Wonder and Barry White!) provides violin and voice in a perfect balance to Mal's nutsness. Their arrangements are intricate and playful. Imagine Einstein, Dr Seuss and Paganini making pancakes.

Around the world and into your brain, vocal adventurer, multi-instrumentalist and looping beatboxing songwriter Mal Webb sings his songs about all manner of stuff. He's like Bobby McFerrin, Aphex Twin and Cole Porter playing scrabble. Ebulliently eclectic. Nefariously varied. Family fun free from facile frippery. "You're a freak!"-Ani DiFranco

Özergun -

Özergun is a 4-piece funk rock band from Melbourne, influenced by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, Nina Simone and a plethora of hard funk and jazz, their sound is hard to describe without using the word unique, however has been defined as raw and real.

The guys met two years ago while undertaking studies in musical performance at the Northern College of Arts and have been working extensively on their upcoming album “Chasing Smoke” ever since.

Poised for the album’s release in the coming months, Özergun has made a move on Melbourne’s Live music scene to drum up interest in their unique musical art.

Katherine Hymer -

The First Lady of Dark Pop’ Katherine Hymer, intertwines Romantic melodic lines with dark and foreboding undertones. This culminates in a sound that has best been described as hauntingly beautiful.

With the addition of her live show band (Fiona Steele and Benjamin Trappitt), the lush orchestration is realized. With Katherine’s pure amalgamation of classical piano and Victorian gothic inspired costume, audiences often draw parallels between her shows and musical theatre.

Dalee

Dalee is a multi-award winning virtuoso pianist hailing from South Korea. Accompanied by her guitarist Heejun, she has travelled all the way to Australia to bring her Jazz-infused K-pop to a new audience.  

Dalee has full command of the piano combined with the sweetest of voices, which to watch live is simply captivating.
