Weekend NZ Livestream Events Guide
Stepping into Annabel Kean's shoes this week, UTR editor Chris Cudby is here with the lowdown / stream of consciousness ramble on what's happening online in our music community this weekend, with UTR's Weekend NZ Livestream Events Guide.
Remember going out and doing stuff? Me neither. Luckily there's streaming shows aplenty for the first night of NZ Music Month, if none of these take your fancy we encourage you to while away the hours browsing the local sounds and dope merch available on Bandcamp, who are waiving all revenue on sales from 7.00pm Friday until 7.00pm Saturday 2nd May (NZT).
