Bay Dreams ‘23
In January 2023, Lost Motel returned to be part of the Bay Dreams artist Liason for the 5th year in a row.
Returning also, in times less covid-y and more hug-y were some veteran performing friends who had made it back to New Zealand without all the managed isolation hotels, to do their thing on the big stage - How glorious!
The team were coming in hot off the back of the Le Currents Festival + a brand new NYE festival, Famous Last Words. Ready forcboth festivals despite Mother Nature throwing in some testing rain across the country, it was all systems go.
From advance communications, flights, ground transport, hotel rooms, visas, dressing rooms, buggy rides, stage towels, wifi passwords, all the snacks and all the drinks.. the team were well prepared and at the ready.
All in all an absolute pleasure to be part of, and another heroic effort by the crew made all the more enjoyable by the consistent banter and non stop laughs. A big thank you to all the Bay Dreams crew, Artists and Lost Motel team.
