JUNE

Howdy, y'all! Trusting everybody is well and good as we (finally!) head into the cooler months - I mean, you really can't complain TOO much when it's blimmin' JUNE and the weather hasn't been too savage, right?! Anyhow - plenty to be getting on with here at t'Boat - we were surprised and chuffed to get a shoutout from Mark Kozelek of Sun Kil Moon at his recent show, for an Andre Segovia CD set he bought off us last time he visited Wellington in 2008, and we are also looking forward to forthcoming shows from Nadia Reid, Aldous Harding, Warpaint (!!!) and Lloyd Cole...

You may also wish to spend some quality time with exceptional new releases from the aforementioned Aldous Harding -her glorious third album, "Designer" is a cracker, along with Mavis Staples' excellent Ben Harper-written/ produced set "We Get By", Sharon Van Etten's lovely "Remind Me Tomorrow", the return of Vampire Weekend with the hefty "Father Of The Bride", or Big Thief's mysterious and lovely "UFOF"... we are also packing a fresh batch of stylin' Slow Boat tees in some new colours and a range of sizes - a charcoal coloured one, and a reddish-marle are my picks of the litter...

We also have tonnes of new posters to brighten up the walls of your pad, DVDs and box sets to hunker down with, a heap of nice priced new vinyl from the good folks at Universal Music NZ, and if you were wanting a special order from the US, say - an order going early next week... do feel free to drop us a line and enquire about anything you fancy.

Stay warm, keep safe, be seein' ya!!
