Quite the response from our musicians and the wider community in regards to the fundraiser for the families of the crew that lost their lives in the slips on Mauao.

We'd like to say we're surprised, but to be honest we're not. We live in an awesome slice of Aotearoa, with a beautiful and talented community. The feedback and the people putting their names in the hat to play or help out go hand in hand with where we live and who we are.

We have a date. SUNDAY 26 APRIL, chuck it in ya calendars. We're thinking of a mini festival type vibe, much like the Loserpalooza events we run each year with Your Enabler Presents. Two stages, one up, one down. Bouncing from act to act on each stage and running from 12PM til 10PM. One Big Fat community show, for a great cause. We are currently working on programming and will let everyone know when we have a plan locked in and when tickets will be available.

Thank you all so much. If you put your hand up to jam, help, or you just gave the post a thumbs up. You are the reason this event will go ahead.

Back soon with more details.
XO
