Guest performer: Apolo

APOLO god of prophecy, music and healing, offers his wisdom as a link between gods and man alike. With an intellect as far reaching as the arrows shot from a silver bow, he is said to be the first god to teach mortals the healing arts including that of poetry. It is thought that he is to help humans achieve their full potential with his gifts of enlightenment. When man journeyed to the heavens, they fittingly named their mission to the moon Apolo, after the god who inspired mankind to reach for the stars.

Guest performer AVALANCHE

“Why Avalanche? Because it’s a force of nature and does whatever it wants to, including reshaping stuff, the ultimate landscaper. Depending on the day of the week, it could also be a Leonard Cohen reference. Gotta love the Leonard! It’s a name I came up with for myself a few hundred years ago, kinda like them Apache chiefs of old – see, they’d get given a name when they were kids, and then change it as they grew up. I was kind of a molehill when I was little, apparently… Now I’m a mountain getting its rocks off!!!!”

Guest Tegan Sabine: When Tegan took their first wobbly steps at eleven-months-old, they had no idea they’d be stepping on so many stages. When they wrote their name backwards and barely legible in kindergarten, they had no clue they’d dedicate decades to words. Today, they’re still tripping on their toes, and scrawly in their scribings. Tegan has been writing poetry since thirteen, and performing since nineteen. They’ve shared their work at open mics and slams all over Adelaide in the seven years since.
