Overview

Mr Laneous gives new meaning to the term 'energetic.' When the West End native and his Family Yah crew come together, musical havoc ensues. Placing the group's punchy melodic chants, reggie rythms, sneaky electro sounds and free form jazz into one category is not an easy fete. Pseudo-indie-hip-hop is one popular interpretation. Music-that-makes-you-skip-and-giggle-with-glee is another.

Despite tripping the light fantastic at Big Day Out, Woodford and Sunset Sounds over the summer festival season, the band shows no signs of slowing down. In order to celebrate the release of their new EP Scissors the Family Yah will be packing up their genre-bending groove train and touring the east coast. No rest for the wicked indeed.

The 10 piece band will cap off the tour in their hometown of Brisbane, where patrons will bare witness to a chaotic show of new danceable tracks along with old crowd (and triple j) favorites including 'It Only Takes,' 'Bubblegum' and 'Searing Life.' There to add to the ruckus will be MC Tuka, one forth of the Sydney DJ crew Thundamentals and the man behind the 2010 Reggae album 'Will Rap For Tuka.'
