Good Vibrations - the final hurrah



Good Vibrations is over. Hurrah! 5 gigs from April 29th to 6 August that have fulfilled the need for indie music lovers to have somewhere to go and something to do in post-quake Christchurch. (Well, I'm pretty sure they have.) They have certainly fulfilled my need for music over this time, and selfishly, I think that's what drove me to do something like this.

I'm the one with the stupid smug smile on my face at every gig, and for good reason. I don't get out of the house much, so it's been real handy setting up one night a month to listen to my favourite local bands, and also those bands I'd heard were good, but hadn't had a chance to see. I've become an even bigger fan of Chch music. We're lucky to have such a depth of talented bands across lots of genres. Freakin awesome actually.

Anyways, it's been a blast. New venues are under way thereby ending our temporary role in the Christchurch music scene.

Job done.
