So Laid Back Country China live at Aotea Square

The amazing So Laid Back Country China live at Aotea Square, 3 December 2016. Just two out of the usual four piece, playing a range of tracks from their new album and old material. Unfortunately I was only able to stay for the first 20 minutes as i had another appointment to go to. I’ve been wanting to see this Wellington based band for ages, so it was great to finally catch them (albeit briefly)
