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 tracks Garden by the failed states published on 2024-05-05T14:12:07Z Total Rebuild by the failed states published on 2024-03-31T06:48:01Z A Book by You by the failed states published on 2024-02-25T04:36:41Z A Car Crash by the failed states published on 2024-02-18T04:43:04Z Freedumb! by the failed states published on 2024-02-05T11:07:42Z Coming For You by the failed states published on 2024-02-04T06:37:30Z Muscle Memory by the failed states published on 2024-01-31T06:52:58Z On Too Strong by the failed states published on 2024-02-01T23:08:42Z I Wont Leave Me Alone by the failed states published on 2023-09-29T04:13:52Z The Great Lakes by the failed states published on 2023-09-25T14:37:17Z
