Last year for NZ Music Month 2016, we asked bands/artists for a favourite memory of making music in Wellington.

It could involve a favourite gig, a funny story from the recording studio, a moment that led to the inspiration for a song, the fond recollection of a defunct venue, or the piece of music or lyric that they were most proud of creating.

We really enjoyed the stories people told us, so we are doing it again this year. Up next is pop/punk band Mishap.

Our song “Hey Allie” was originally about a friends mum. It’s not what you think though, it was written by Datu, our bassist, to say thank you for buying him noodles. That version of the song is still on the internet somewhere if it can be found. After making it into a mishap song the lyrics were changed to be about a girl. You might see this song pop up a lot more in the near future.
