Undertheradar & Cheese On Toast present
MUZAI: YEAR TWO
Friday June 24th 2011 – Wine Cellar/Whammy Bar
It's been pretty amazing – that I am writing this “media release” to talk
about the second anniversary when in all honesty I thought MUZAI would be
over and done with by now. My key word throughout the tenure of this
little label was “survival”. We've come this far, outlasting the dreaded
first year and surviving as a new business in a recession.
In fact we've done pretty darn well in our first two years if I may toot
my own horn for a moment. We've had critical acclaim with a few releases
of ours (Full Moon Fiasco, Sherpa, Diana Rozz), our audiences have started
to swell at venues at the M that an old friend Mittins created has started
to become recognized rather thatn asked about.
So along with Undertheradar and Cheese On Toast, we're throwing a big
shindig in June (as god awful a word shindig is): MUZAI YEAR TWO, being
held across both Wine Cellar and Whammy Bar from 7:30pm until late. Why
two venues? On top of the huge support Rohan and staff have given us, we
actually need space for the line up, including some out of towners....
Full Moon Fiasco (Wellington), Sherpa, Idiot Prayer (Dunedin), Cool Cult,
Cat Venom, Kitsunegari, god bows to math, Hussies, Sidewalk Meese, Diana
Rozz (DJ set).
There will be merchandise, there will be cake (no seriously, there will
actually be cake), there will even be those little idiosyncratic things
that apparently people have come to love about MUZAI, or completely deride
us for.
But more importantly, it's a chance for all of us to get together once a
year, meet and greet each other and just have fun. It's for us and
ultimately for everyone else to come and enjoy.
