Your favourite local record label is hosting a St. Asaph Street takeover, as an IRL follow up to the much loved and stunningly well attended 'Better Living, Everyone' lockdown streaming festival – and in true Better Living fashion, it is lightweight and cordless, offers support for your ankles, features embossing with little patterns on it, is easy on sensitive skin, is dimmable and flicker free, is unapologetically chunky and creamy, has an adjustable temperature, feels fluffy and cosy and clings to most surfaces, ALL WHILE offering a host of incredible indie, punk and electronic acts including:
- BIG SCOUT, from Blenheim, fresh from touring with Sleaford Mods and releasing their album 'Council Sport' on LP via MIC!
- WELLNESS, a hot new indie rock act from Tāmaki Makaurau with a dreamy jangling manner and a debut album due out on MIC any minute now!
