Those splendid folks from Tamaki Makaurau, The Beths, on top of their THREE sold out shows at San Fran, have generously agreed to perform a second Slow Boat instore, this time at 2pm on Saturday the 10th of October, as they finally get to celebrate the release of their superb sophomore album “Jump Rope Gazers” […]
After a couple of false starts(!!), and with the dropping of the nationwide covid alert levels, Slow Boat is thrilled to finally be able to bring you some form of celebration – the second of three 2020 RSD drops, this Saturday, the 26th September, featuring a nifty, stripped-back instore performance from Auckland indie rock up-and-comers […]
Well, best laid plans of mice and men, etc – we had some really fun stuff lined up for RSD 2020, a day dear to our hearts – and yours, as it happens. But – ’twas not to be. This blinkin’ virus has knocked a lot of people’s plans for 6. What was to have […]

We are taking our responsibilities seriously, and closed the doors yesterday when our PM delivered the news of moving to level 3 in the covid-19 threat plan – to be honest, it felt good to have some certainty around what was happening.What this means […]
Good lord – what a marvellous event – hard to think of a more ‘Wellington’ thing than The Mutton Birds playing the song of the same name here at Slow Boat instore here on a Friday evening for a packed store full of deliriously happy fans, smack dab in the middle of their two sold-out […]
And just like that, it was a new decade!! Hope everyone enjoyed a pleasant festive season, and got the LPs and CDs they wanted (or, if not, that the gifter at least got you an exchange card…!) Have been pretty well cleaned out of a lot of stuff in the Xmas rush, so we are […]
November, already – how in the hell did THAT happen?!
