"[For Trio #2] the music by Nic McGowan is a work of substance, passion and beauty…” New Zealand Herald

A unique visual and aural experience, Instructions for Modern Living creates an after-hours montage of New Zealand living rooms and nightspots – an urban and suburban portrait of the way we live. The show features monologues by writer Duncan Sarkies (Wild Man Eyes, Scarfies) and live music by Nic McGowan (When Love Comes Calling, White), who plays Rhodes piano, vintage synthesiser, vibraphone and “various other antiquated gizmos”. Moody and introspective, Instructions for Modern Living is a live-music time capsule – an interpretation of what goes on behind closed doors in New Zealand homes as we try to find our place in a changing society and our souls in a commercialised world.
