The monthly Bandcamp Fridays initiative kicks off once again from 9pm tonight onwards (NZST), the perfect opportunity to directly support our music community, as the incredibly useful online platform are waiving their usual fees for 24 hours until 9pm Saturday. Remember all that amazing local music that came out during lockdown, when we were all stuck at home and climbing the walls? Now's the ideal time to give a little love back and reap the karmic rewards — by purchasing a digital release (here's a great place to start exploring Aotearoa releases), copping some swanky stocking-filler merch ahead of Christmas and / or heading along to a live gig this weekend...
