Press release:

Please come join us on Sunday September the 4th at San Fran for a celebration of our friend Paul Huggins.

Paul has been a passionate supporter of local music for over 20 years, and has been integral to helping launch the careers of many musicians over this time - most will know Paul from his record store and label, RPM Records.

Paul and his family are now facing his terminal cancer diagnosis, and he doesn’t have much time left with us, so a bunch of the bands and artists that Paul has supported over the years will combine to throw a party for Paul, in honour of his mahi aroha.

This gig is a way to help raise money for the (unfunded) drug Avastin, which costs $10000 a month. This treatment will help prolong Paul’s life, giving him more time to be a father, partner, brother, son, and friend.

Confirmed acts for this gig are Cakekitchen, The Nudge, The Eastern, Endboss, and a rare appearance from the original line-up of Trinity Roots.
