Press Release – Great Things
New Zealand musicians including Marlon Williams, The Beths and Reb Fountain have contributed unreleased tracks for
We Love Whammy & Wine Cellar, a fundraising compilation album released today as a fundraiser for the beloved Karangahape Road music venues.
Album curator Anthony Metcalf says that the idea for the complication came to him during Level 4 lockdown as it became clear that music venues would be hard hit by uncertainty and event restrictions for the foreseeable future.
“Whammy Bar and the Wine Cellar have been such important venues in the Auckland music infrastructure, and for many of these acts when they first started out. We need to make sure these venues are still around for the next musicians coming through.”
