Performance Time - Saturday 6th June @ 4pm 

Laneous makes Grunty Rudeboy Soul and Croon Punk for the Back Beat Generation. Joined by the 4 piece Family Yah – the Monte Carlos of Brisbane’s assorted creams, Laneous sets stages alight with psychedelic hip hop fires.

Born one minute’s walk from where he now lives, Laneous is set to emerge from his beloved Brisbane with his most extravagant musical offering yet – the Debut Laneous & The Family Yah LP “St. Ill Regal”. Recorded with Brissie’s Buzz man of the moment Peet G at PsiFi Studios (ex DirtyRooms), the 17 track slammer features a host of extended Family Yah members including Yuin Huzami (The Coalition), Surreal (Grassroots Street Orchestra), Rainman, Kel (Kelly Gang), Pesto, the strings of the West End Chamber Orchestra and more..

Laneous has become somewhat of an icon in Brisbane, playing a staggering number of shows and having recorded, toured and played with countless musical projects. Having dropped out of school at 15 to pursue music, he has proudly never worked a day job and never received a cent from the government – too busy making music to stand in a dole cue. Since forming the Family Yah in 2007, Laneous’ shows have become the stuff of legend. Born at a quaint Tea House in the backstreets of Brisbane’s West End and originally intended as a jam band, the Family Yah’s Monday night residency soon had audiences spilling out of the venue and onto the streets to witness the famed falsetto and magnificent chaos of Lanee.

Lyrically, Laneous (the Legal Alien) flowers like a tropical ginger, with the quirk of MF Doom and the perk of TV on The Radio. Musically, The Family Yah astounds, making unconventional sounds with conventional instruments – think garage band meets MPC.

Laneous & The Family Yah are renowned for their high energy and dynamic stage shows. With one of Brisbane’s hottest rhythm sections and the all singing, all dancing, all rapping Bird Fire Choir, they have created a formidable live experience. Festival appearances include: BIG DAY OUT '09, Woodford Folk Festival, Island Times Festival, Valley Fiesta, Kuranda Roots Festival, Bigsound and many other club shows and events across the East Coast of Australia.
