the failed states Melbourne The Failed States is a creative project based in an aged care facility in the leafy suburb of Wantirna, Melbourne Australia. Initially a recreational outlet, allowing residents to express themselves through music, poetry and sitting still, The Failed States has since taken on a life of it own. Anguished songs about other residents' grandchildren being too loud at the table tennis table, or jeremiads of lukewarm, semi-set puddings were gradually replaced by powerful pieces about climate change, urban decay, relationship breakdown and missing dentures. There are no permanent members of The Failed States, we live on, as age, petty rivalries, and forgetfulness takes us all. The Failed States tries to perform in the common room on the second Tuesday of every month, after lunch. the failed states’s popular tracks Total Rebuild by the failed states published on 2024-03-31T06:48:01Z Garden by the failed states published on 2024-05-05T14:12:07Z A Book by You by the failed states published on 2024-02-25T04:36:41Z Chemical Waste by the failed states published on 2023-09-08T05:14:37Z Coming For You by the failed states published on 2024-02-04T06:37:30Z Cold Feet by the failed states published on 2023-06-14T06:09:39Z Freedumb! by the failed states published on 2024-02-05T11:07:42Z Quit it in the Back by the failed states published on 2023-09-12T10:17:00Z A Car Crash by the failed states published on 2024-02-18T04:43:04Z Pushing A Broom (around a dusty room) by the failed states published on 2023-06-04T02:53:22Z The Angel by the failed states published on 2023-08-01T02:27:22Z Local Paper by the failed states published on 2023-09-18T04:56:04Z Muscle Memory by the failed states published on 2024-01-31T06:52:58Z Lost In Space by the failed states published on 2022-02-02T06:12:26Z End Of The Human Race by the failed states published on 2023-08-07T00:09:08Z Ugly City by the failed states published on 2023-06-04T03:04:04Z I Wont Leave Me Alone by the failed states published on 2023-09-29T04:13:52Z Rhythm of Life by the failed states published on 2023-07-06T22:31:22Z Name is Mud by the failed states published on 2023-08-31T14:48:15Z Lottery of Life by the failed states published on 2022-04-21T14:31:42Z Sudafed by the failed states published on 2023-02-17T05:38:04Z
