Join us for the official launch of SoundCheck Magazine, a night dedicated to the artists, stories, and writers that shape Wellington’s music scene. We’re celebrating the release of our very first issue the best way we know how — with live performances from some of the city’s favourite acts. Cruelly, Molipane, Boyband, and Canine Niece will all be taking the stage. There’ll be copies of our debut issue available on the night and exclusive merch.


Human Love Quest is a live onstage dating show, presented by friends Xander Allan, Conor Gallacher and The Captain, that brings the golden age of television dating shows into the future! The future being now! Today! Marketed as being the antithesis of dating apps, HLQ uses a classic trope of three hopefuls vying for the attention of one solo contestant. It is all-inclusive and anyone is encouraged to apply, regardless of how someone identifies, their age group, or what they’re looking for out of an encounter.

An idea hatched from the mind of Bernice Tesara (trumpet), the horn duo the Weatherbirds will be collaborating with one of Sydney's signature organ ensembles, Soul Station. Prepare to hear a sextet that's news to us too, that's for sure.

Going beyond the classic organ trio sound, this show is for fans of Shirley Scott, Jimmy Smith, Art Pepper + 11 and anyone who thinks adding more horns is never a bad idea.

Featuring:

London-based musician and songwriter Mark William Lewis brings his world tour to Australia for the very first time, with headline shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in March and April 2026.

The genre-defying artist blends dream pop, indie rock, jazz and folk music, creating poetically sharp vivid landscapes.

Daniel Muggleton continues to be one of Australia’s most in-demand comedians despite no media attention of any kind. 

In 2025, Rolling Stone named him a ‘Must-See Show’ at Edinburgh Fringe. He spent the rest of the year selling out shows around Australia, copping critical-acclaim and seriously offending two people in Perth… but they were wearing lanyards in a social setting. So I guess they got what they came for?
