Conch Records picks
Where would Auckland be without the community that is Conch Records? Conch is run by Cian O'Donnell (the Turnaround, George FM), Brent Hollands, and Dustin Lindale, with support from Bobby Brazuka (Balada, George FM, Base FM) and Jim. It all started as a stall at the Aotea Square markets, then became a proper little shop on High Street, and has now relocated to larger digs at 115A Ponsonby Road. Conch is not just a record store -- it's a cafe, toy store, clothing shop, art retailer, and networking centre for DJs and musos. You're guaranteed to see NZ music legends in and out of this joint all day. Need to find out what's what? Conch is a really good place to start. These are the gigs the Conch crew recommends.
