2006 → 2026. Some whispers only get louder.
This June. One night. One voice. One whisper that's waited 20 years.
Citizen Audrey wrote Sweet Whisper in 2006. On Saturday, 27 June, she brings it to The Jam Factory — live, raw, and completely unfiltered.
From Te Puke to the world.
After a breakout 2025, she's now a global sonic architect with 18,000+ monthly listeners spanning the US, Mexico, and Poland. Dystopian pop. Industrial textures. A voice that haunts and heals.
🎤 With special support from YDoubleR.
Don't miss the live debut of a song two decades in the making — part of an intimate, deeply personal night.

🎸 Last Friday at The Incubator's May Art Party, Paul Fould set the perfect tone.
As people gathered for the exhibition launch, Paul played in the background—but honestly? He was impossible to ignore in the best way. We loved his sound—steeped in gritty blues-rock and delivered with raw soul.
From local bars and restaurant stages to our street party, Paul brings the same fire every time he plugs in. He was fabulous company as everyone arrived, mingled, and soaked in the art.
Just another great reason to come along to an Incubator Art Party & exhibition launch—great art, great people, and sometimes, a great soundtrack you didn't see coming.
Keep an eye out for Paul Fould. His is a great sound. 🔥
🎨 See you at the next one?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A stunning start to NZ Music Month at The Jam Factory
The Jam Factory kicked off NZ Music Month in style with two very different sold-out gigs – and Matt Sephton + DJ Salty Chops was something truly special.
This was a bit of a departure for the venue, but the intimate, smaller vibe worked perfectly. The audience was incredible – completely locked in and deeply receptive to the sounds of Vā. Matt's music feels more personal, more place-based, and more rooted in the world around him, and that connection was felt right through the room.
From the hydrophone explorations to the live electronics and the rich bass textures, every track landed beautifully. The crowd loved it.
A huge thank you to Matt and DJ Salty Chops for choosing The Jam Factory to launch this work. Fingers crossed we see them back again soon. What a fabulous night out.
