In October 2008, Meow opened its doors. Eighteen years later, we’re still here doing what we love: bringing people together through music. To celebrate, we’re putting together a night that reflects what Meow has always been about: exceptional musicians, adventurous sounds, a packed dancefloor and a room full of people who care about live music.
Headling the night is Rhombus Sound System, one of Aotearoa’s most distinctive electronic collectives, bringing more than two decades of dub, reggae, hip-hop, soul and bass-heavy dance music to the stage. They’re joined by acclaimed vocalist, pianist and songwriter Louis TM, a rising force in contemporary soul and R&B; singer-songwriter Wallace, whose rich blend of jazz, blues, hip-hop and soul has seen her collaborate with Kraak & Smaak, Thundamentals, Sampa The Great and Sola Rosa; and DJ, writer and broadcaster Martyn Pepperell, a trusted selector known for adventurous, genre-spanning sets and a sharp ear for forward-thinking music. Plus, there’ll be some very special guests joining us along the way.
For 18 years, Meow has been a place where established artists, emerging talent, local legends and international visitors have shared the same stage, and this night brings that spirit together in one room. Come raise a glass, hit the dance floor and celebrate the music, the musicians and the community that have made Meow what it is.
