What is Music?

Overview

What is music? This curious question might be asked by the youngest of us, the oldest, and almost everyone, ever. The forever rhetorical question has not even been answered or its meaning brought into question when involved in the Tribal Theatre's last hurrah, but we're gonna go with it anyway.

I have a question for you: did you know that the Tribal Theatre had a bomb shelter? Who even has bomb shelters these days? My mind goes back Ned Flanders' bomb shelter for some reason... anyway, it's best to be prepared for impending doom, and sadly, in this instance the doom is the Tribal Theatre's closure. The old Dendy cinemas on George Street were given a new lease of life earlier last year under the Tribal moniker, and are about to change hands once again – but it's unsure if it will return as cinemas.

There'll be plenty of performing artists, sound artworks and even a DJ set to get the underground a pumpin', including the curiously named bands Company Fuck and Meat Thump.

What better way to celebrate the triumphs the little cinema that could has made (hosting theme nights, presenting BIFF and becoming a wedding venue) than to ponder what music is, whilst acting like it's the end of the world? You might even find the answer.
