The Munki Mash Live Stream

Witness music history in the making, an epic final jam at Munki Studios live streaming worldwide before the demolition man breaks up the party.

With your support Transmit with Munki Studios present The Munki Mash Live Stream  extravaganza  22nd August 2015. Live stream performances by Orchestra of Spheres, Kirsten Te Rito, Mr Sterile Assembly, Rhombus, Fur Patrol and TrinityRoots from the infamous Wellington studios, transmitting worldwide on  transmitworld.tv so you can join in the Munki swansong party.

Wellington's Munki Studios has captured the shifting sands of New Zealand music for 25 years and this is the chance to toast Munki Studios legacy ahead of the move to new studio digs. Plus you get to join the search for secret tunnels in the Martin Square building that once housed the SIS spy HQ.

The Munki Mash Live Stream will kick off with a nod to the next generation of music makers, a recording session and jam led by Munki owner and engineer Mike Gibson's own daughters operating behind the mics and control desk.

The grown-ups then gather for the last rites taking over four studio rooms to play music with no boundaries. The action will be accompanied by Erica Skelars aka Lady Lazer Light visuals. Sneaky interviews and confessions from the players are also on the dance card. 

Munki Studios roll of honour includes Hollie Smith's Long Player, Trinity Roots Little Things, Recloose's Hiatus On The Horizon, Steriogram's Walkie Talkie Man as well as recordings by The Warratahs, So So Modern, Letterbox Lambs, Jonathan Crayford, The Hasselhoff Experiment, Shihad, Wayne Mason, New Zealand String Quartet, Dave Long, Richard Nunns, Illphonics, Upper Hutt Posse... Charlotte Yates, Grayson Gilmour, LA Mitchell, Lisa Tomlins, Village of Idiots, Mel Parsons, Don McGlashan, Bella Kalolo, HIOP, Adi Dick, Two Lane Black Top, Flight of the Concords, Fur Patrol, Kelburn Vet Centre!, Pin Group, Rhombus, Sanctus...and the list keeps going and going. So many different recordings, mixes, voice overs and masterings for music, film, commercials and radio have come out of this much loved recording studio. 

The secret vaults and armouries have proven to be the secret acoustic-treatment ingredient to Munki's New Zealandly coveted sound. Mike Gibson used to get midnight calls from US producers wanting to know how he got the sound so right. He suggested they find themselves an SIS vault.

During the Vietnam War when the building housed the SIS it was the scene of anti-war protests, and it's rumoured to be where the SIS ran a spying campaign against economist Bill Sutch in 1974. The 'Sutch interrogation room' has more recently been local rockers Beastwars studio, just down the corridor from the other last standing studio residents Rhombus and Jhan Lindsay. 

The Boosted campaign will provide financial support towards live stream film production costs, setting up multiple cameras, sound equipment and live stream connections. The campaign figure is a nod to real world costs 'cos we making it happen with a live stream dream team of local film makers offering their skills for the love of music.

Munki Studios will match dollar for dollar up to the first $1000 donated to support the BOOSTED campaign filming and live stream. Awesome eh.
