Half a decade ago, we were in the midst of a global pandemic, visiting digital rooms with friends around the corner, making sourdough, and watching the daily news. We were also making experimental attempts into the world of radio, with the birth of Mouthfull’s first international streaming server, playing music 24/7 (and live events a few times per week).
If we travel even further back in time, 2017 was the debut of the “Mouthfull Radio” episodic series (~20eps) - but we consider the ongoingness the real thing to celebrate.
Moving forwards into the presence now, and through an immense richness of events, music, zines, connections, pop ups, and storytime. It is a joy to make community contemporary radio !
5 Years goes so fast, and so we shall honour this time with a great celebration in the capital city of Aotearoa! We will bring together all of the elements of Mouthfull you have known to love; make some books, make up some new dance moves with friends, and make our ears glisten in the sounds of live and selected music.
Lineup:
*ºJuniper May
*ºStar Time
*ºajhoneysuckle (tāmaki)
*ºMystery Waitress
*ºDJ B.Lo (whākatu)
We are also releasing our first ever compilation !!! And we will celebrate and commemorate by opening this event with a premiere listening session, playing the album all the way through. You can purchase a copy at the show or on bandcamp (preorders open August 1st).
This is a fundraiser to support the sustainability of Mouthfull. We are only able to pay the bills due to events like this, and are fundraising to support a long awaited update of our digital infrastructure to enable future support. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT - you can support us by purchasing a ticket (extra donation if you are balling), a tshirt, a raffle ticket, or a zine - it all goes to the same goal of enabling each other.
