There’s a guy in Wellington making a photocopied weekly gig guide which will do more for the local music scene than this attempt at making a profitable social media. I guarantee it.

Its actually a small volunteer crew not one guy, and they are great! We have shared their posts on our socials, they do the guide, a weekly access radio show, free classifieds, all self funded... Which is exactly what Propel exists to support.

On the profitable social media bit. I have been a worker in the scene for 8 years, running events, promoting other people, pushing the scene. And i'll keep doing it here because I love it, not because theres money in it.

Reminds me of the Tokyo Gig Guide, which I always hit up when I’m in town.

There is so much dense information in a single pamphlet. Beautiful.

That is brilliant!

I love the older style layout, it is much more readable that 99% of websites available today. Also that Classified section is wonderful.
