FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
8K.nz your local, international and lovable radio station wishes to announce the release of:
WIRETAP 02
https://8knz.bandcamp.com/album/wiretap-02
The second release from local bootlegger Dave Branton, who has been diligently and selflessly attending local music events and creating an archive of live recordings unparalleled in the post-earthquake city of Christchurch.
Wiretap 02 is a compilation of live recordings made during 2018, of the underground and alternative music scene in Christchurch. It’s available on bandcamp, and as a limited physical release on cassette. The recordings were all broadcast on Wiretap (8k.nz) at some point during the last year, but have been given a bit of spit and polish by somebody that knows what they’re doing - so they a slight cut above the usual microphone-in-a-corner traditional bootleg sound.
