It's been a month since we were hanging out in the sun in Pohill. Here are some more snaps, courtesy of Will Agnew, from that lovely day.

While doing some lockdown cleaning I stumbled across a few spare T shirts from the past couple of fests. With our beloved music venues in dire need at the moment, we’re gonna try sell them off for a good cause. Pay what you like above $30 and all sales will go to help . When you make a purchase, let us know what Wellington venue(s) you’d like the money to go to. See the photos below for colour/design options. Get in touch via message or email at [email protected]. And a big thanks to Emily Stevens for designing and donating the beautiful tees.

Help support a bona fide Wellington institution and NZ's best live music venue in these tough times, so that they'll still be there once we get the green light for gigs in the after times.

Also, a reminder that for 24 hours from 8pm tonight Bandcamp are once again waiving their fees, a great time to snap up some sweet merch and digital tunes with all sales going direct to artists.

This Boosted campaign is an artist led initiative to support San Fran to survive

Want to support local musicians in this wild time? Need some killer tunes to soundtrack your quarantine? Well from 8pm tonight until 8pm tomorrow 100% sales from bandcamp go directly to artists. So why not spend some of that money you would’ve spent on gigs and achieve both at once?!

Discover amazing music and directly support the artists who make it.

Hi All, hope you’re having a great start to the year! We’re looking forward to doing a bunch of cool stuff in 2020, including putting on more house party shows. We had a lot of fun running a few last year and would love to make it more of a regular thing. But to do that, we need venues. So to that end, if you or someone you know lives in a sweet spot that would be suited to hosting a gig, large or small, and you’d be open to letting us use the space for an evening, then please get in touch. Alternatively, if you know of and have access to some other location that would be appropriate (e.g. office space, community center) we’d also be keen to hear from you. If you’re interested but not sure and have questions about how it might work, please feel free to drop us a line. You can get in touch either by messaging the page or emailing [email protected]. Hopefully, with your help we can make 2020 a very good time! Cheers xo

Hi everyone! Remember summer? It might seem like an age ago now looking out the window, but I promise you it definitely did happen. To prove it, here is a highlight video from Bush Bash IV back in December to remind you what a lovely day that was. A huge thanks to Will Agnew for creating the awesome video, and a shout out again to all the performers, volunteers, organisers and attendees for their support, especially those who unfortunately didn't make it into the clip.

We've got an exciting gig announcement coming up soon so keep an ear out for that.
