Just wanted to offer a huge Slow Boat CHEERS to everyone who has supported us this year; it has certainly been one of the strangest I can recall – far and away the longest the ‘Boat has ever been docked in 35-odd years of trading!Hugely grateful to everyone who has bought music and more from […]
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 […]
Crikey, and just when it seemed like it was only February, suddenly it was blimmin’ AUGUST, already – almost like we lost a couple of months there… Not gonna lie – the lockdown was not entirely unpleasant for us – a good chance to charge the batteries, and look at some things from a different […]

Well, the decision we have been waiting for, delivered by the PM, Jacinda Ardern and Director of Health, Dr. Ashley Bloomfield – with infection rates dropping, and the NZ public largely doing a very good job of doing what we are told, and staying at home to slow the spread of this nasty virus, the […]
Howdy all!Well, hope everyone is doing okay in this trying time. 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 […]
