Music Commission News

We’re counting down to the weekend for a celebration very close to our hearts: the one and only, Record Store Day!

Wherever you may be in the motu, visit your local record store to support homegrown artists, their music and the good folks that dedicate their lives to championing them. Many of the toa puoro will be running special activations for Record Store Day including in-store performances, giveaways, workshops and exclusive sales!

Record Store Day is also the perfect time to get your new favourite local music shirt lined-up for MusicHelps‘s NZ Music T-Shirt Day (3rd of May) festivities! We’ll also be sharing a few of the awesome merch pieces from our local artists in our Instagram stories – check out the “MERCH” highlight on our profile to see ’em all.
