Gig Information

Debate presents LOCAL LISTENS LIVE! After 15 editions of the Local Listens column in the pages of Debate Magazine. We're celebrating our Puoro of Aotearoa issue and NZ Music Month with a free gig at AUT campus' resident bar Vesbar,

The famed venue/student bar hosted the likes of Shihad and The Mint Chicks on the same bloody night back in 2006, so we figure it’s about time for us to start getting the amps pumping and dance floor grooving again - this time, on Debate’s terms.

If you, like me, were too busy being a gross and stupid baby to attend the Shihad/Mint Chicks Vesbar gig, don’t fret - this year, Debates own staff are sharing their waiata, with our social media coordinator Cameron McCurdy sharing tunes from her upcoming album and her first released under the name LEIGH. Te Ao Māori Editor Hirimaia Eketone will be testing out new material from their project HIRI, and Waveslave will display their dynamic and technically advanced bangers. This is Local Listens, Live! Come along from 7PM on the 23rd of May to support our team and their mahi - it’s free entry, and if enough people show up, it might not be the last shindig we throw this year.

Free entry. Doors at 7:00pm.
Lineup:
LEIGH (Solo)
HIRI
WAVESLAVE
