    • Thalia Zedek (USA) and Ned Collette (AUS) | Vogelmorn Upstairs
      • STRANGE NEWS & HOME ALONE MUSIC PRESENT THALIA ZEDEK & NED COLLETTE NEW ZEALAND TOUR - JUNE 2025 Wednesday 18 June - Auckland Unitarian Church, Auckland Thursday 19 June - Vogelmorn Upstairs, Wellington Friday 20 June (Ned Collette only) - Lyttelton Coffee Co, Lyttelton “For those that don’t know, Zedek has been one of the most compelling players and singers of the last quarter-century of American music” - The Quietus “...Collette turns folk music into something uncanny and gorgeous” - Aquarium Drunkard Auckland’s Strange News Touring have teamed up with Wellington record label and collective Home Alone Music to announce two very special shows this June featuring two incredible artists, Thalia Zedek and Ned Collette. A true icon of alternative music, Thalia Zedek has been part of some of underground independent music’s fiercest and finest moments, including Live Skull and Uzi in the 1980s, and noisy 90s indie favourites Come. Since then, Thalia has become a mainstay on legendary Chicago label Thrill Jockey (Trans Am, Rose City Band) with her brilliant Thalia Zedek Band output. As her label tells it, “Her ability to deliver raw emotions through her vivid stories of loss and hope, strife and triumph is unmatched”. New album The Boat Outside Your Window arrives next month, with new singles Tsunami and Naming Names suggesting this record is set to turn heads and destroy worlds. Zedek has never shied away from mining some seriously desperate emotional terrain - Pitchfork While these days he calls Berlin home, Ned Collette is both an Aussie lad and card-carrying Kiwi. Ned’s early years were spent playing experimental music in the underground venues of Wellington and Melbourne, before he headed off into the wild yonder to seek fame and fortune, or at least some amazing adventures. Seven albums in, his latest record Our Other History features hometown pals Leah Senior, Jim White (Dirty Three), Chris Abrahams (The Necks), and more. “...as rewarding a listening experience as I’ve come across in recent times” – Will Oldham on Ned Collette’s album Our Other History This marks the first time Thalia will have ever graced our shores, and it’s a very overdue return visit for Ned. These shows will be absolutely unmissable, so best not miss them, eh? NOTE: South Island Ned-heads will get their fix too, with Ned Collette performing solo at Lyttelton Coffee Co on June 20!

      • $20 -tickets via link: https://events.humanitix.com/gong-bath-at.../tickets *Limited door sales for $25* *Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, eye mask and blanket - or whatever it is you need to feel most warm and comfortable * Discover the transformative effects of sound therapy with this 1-hour gong bath experience. During this session, participants will be surrounded by the resonant vibrations of gongs, carefully designed to induce deep states of relaxation and calm. As you settle into the experience, allow the soothing tones to wash over you, releasing tension and promoting a sense of inner peace. Scientific studies have highlighted the benefits of sound therapy, particularly gong baths, in reducing stress and promoting overall well-being. The rhythmic patterns and overtones of the gongs can help entrain brainwaves, leading to a meditative state and improved mental clarity. Beyond the immediate effects, many participants report experiencing lasting benefits such as improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and enhanced mood following a gong bath session. By immersing yourself in the healing vibrations of the gongs, you can tap into a deeper sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day or explore new avenues of self-care, this 1-hour gong bath offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with yourself and find balance amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. There will be cups of tea available afterwards to help us integrate and ground. **THIS EVENT IS RESTRICTED TO 40 PEOPLE ONLY** About Me Erika is a musician and astrologer based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. She has 30+ years musical experience. Erika has an interest in the healing properties of sound for mental and physical wellbeing, which she currently explores through her gong bathing practice

    • Repair Cafe: Vogelmorn X Timebank
      • Repairing rather than buying new is a great way to take climate action in your own life - and learn new skills along the way.

    • DIRT Group | Monthly Community Resilience Project | #8. First Aid, Physical and Mental
      • Most people see getting first aid for physical injuries as obvious in an emergency situation, but accessing mental first aid can be equally important for some. We’ll be looking at what resources we can have ready for ourselves, in our group and in our community to provide physical and mental first aid, in the aftermath of a disaster event and through the ongoing process of rebuilding and recovery. This will feed into our future event where we look at what resources we have around us that can be used or re-purposed in an emergency and what we should get and build up. Come and learn in a relaxed and fun way to help make yourself and our community better prepared to handle disruptive events. Facebook Event info here
