Our cover: Peter, Louise, Nick, and Tom Oskam experiencing the most disappointing solar storm in two decades, 11th May 2024. Unfortunately, the coronal mass ejection failed to fry our electrical grid. Instead, the stunning aurora drew us outside for a couple of hours, only to have us glued to our phones for the next two days.

Light + Vessel Studio Tour 🎥
Whanganui River Markets stallholders Sara & Zuz, give us tour of their home pottery studio on Campbell Street.
We met through our daughters at school and decided we needed to do something
It’s an expensive piece of machinery to run
Small room, but it works
Keeps us busy and out of trouble…

One Fine Day in Whanganui
MeanOwls, Castlecliff Lights, Phoenix Foundation, and Anthonie Tonnon perform at Whanganui Musician's Club for "One Fine Day" by Lost Art Events
The Whanganui Musicians Club is a really cool venue. They run a club night here on the first Friday of every month. It’s kind of like an open mic night on steroids.
This is Dancing Dave, he will likely become a regular on Photo News. His dance moves are iconic in Whanganui & he runs his own music event website called Dave’s List.
If you are not living on the edge, you're taking up way too much fucking room.
Meanwhile outside, Areez Katki enjoys some down time with a ciggie & a sugary beverage. He’s a writer & artist who lives between Auckland & Mumbai & he’s a bloody nice guy. Look at his stuff: areezkatki.co
I would be better on crack than sugar
This is Matt from MeanOwls. I missed their show, but they have a decent music video you can watch instead. When he first showed me the video I told him he was the kiwi Lou Reed, he said he gets that comment a fair bit.
Incase you’re wondering, Dancing Dave’s shirt says “Fuck Mars”
Why waste resources going to space, when you can stay right here & take acid?
Anthonie Tonnon & the Leave Love Out Of This band closed the night with a world-class performance.
They still have a few shows left on their tour:
Sat, Apr 15 Waiheke Island, Artworks Theatre
Sat, Apr 29 Mosgiel Coronation Hall
Sun Apr 30 Queenstown, Sherwood
Thank you Gioia Damasso & the Lost Art Events team for another fine day in Whanganui.
