Ahoy, scurvies! Batten down the hatches and prepare for a wild plunge into Rock-Tha-Boat-Tober at The George Lane—a weekly concert celebrating the development of The Barbarian Ship. Julien Poulson, the fuzz-wah wizard behind Moler and The Cambodian Space Project, is back in St Kilda, ready to transform The George Lane into a rowdy pirate’s den for a month-long residency with The Green Mist. Every Wednesday night this October, the venue becomes the creaking deck of The Barbarian Ship—a rock opera inspired by the true tale of the mutiny aboard the brig Cyprus.
Picture this: a back lane lair filled with scurvy pirates, thick with gun smoke and hot spicy rum. Come dressed in your best pirate garb, ready for open sing-alongs, bawdy shanties, fiery riffs, and some good ol' skulduggery.
