There's a new groove in town as [PROPAGANDA KLANN] hits the airwaves and the WWW.
An exciting cooperative of highly talented musicians loosely associated into a catalystic ensemble.(see below)
[collective]: 1. formed by collection
2. relating to group of individuals taken together as a whole.
[klann]: 1. association of lineages which have certain interests in common, as organisation of marriage, land, common teritory, ceremony.....
The sound is a little bit Massive Attack, a little bit Beastie Boys, PROBOT even, and distinctly Australian. Based in Melbourne the [PROPAGANDA KLANN] make their headquarters and their hits @ Slamm Cell and then Hothouse in St. Kilda.

'Nokturne'
Creatures of the Night
nok tûrne' ( nocturne) ... online dictionary:
1. A painting of a night scene.
2. An instrumental composition of a pensive, dreamy mood, especially one for the piano.
A visual and aural feast for the senses, Nokturne highlights the many Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander perspectives of the importance of nightfall : respite from the heat, inspiration from the cosmos, learning over the fire, party time, moonlight swims, a dance, a chant in a forbidden language, preparing for combat, and a promise of tomorrow.
