Noticeboard
With gratitude and excitement, here is our beautiful new website designed and built (without AI) by Bryn Fenemor (front-end/UX) and Toby Edgar (back-end/development), it’s crisp and functional, helping find shows and places to find yourself at too. Along with the new website, we have a new identity - designed by none other than Sonya Ishimnikova. Like a snake sheds it’s skin, this is the dermas that will hold Mouthfull for the next cycle. If you'd like to post something on the noticeboard, send a message!
To move forwards, we must also look back and appreciate where we have come from. Footsteps in the sand can disappear quickly in a high tide. The earliest ‘logo’ design was conceptualised by Nicole Streeter in 2017, a vector that may have shifted but originated from the tips of her fingertips on the laptop. A secondary design by Jack Gittings accompanied this logo as an introduction to the ‘Living as a Story Thing’ short films, and this duo would continue to live on the Mouthfull masquerade for 2 years. Following that, our friend, Judy Rhum generously conjured a playful new charming smile logo that brought Mouthfull into a new era… the radio era. This logo has been well traveled on posters, stickers. slipmats, and so much more.
And now, today, we are so lucky to bring in the time of the garden, where flowers grow and rich soils allow the fruit trees to flourish (with the janky-ness and humility, of course).
We love all our logos equally, and will let them rest in a cosy place to come back to to remember the wonderful journey.
Tees ! They're designed by George Naylor, brown & baby blue, royal blue & yellow screen printed on an ascolour basic tee. Beautiful. $35 a pop, can ship to NZ & Australia easily, elsewhere will be at a cost. See Bandcamp for purchase information or hit us up direct
Flower beds that grow is the debut compilation from Mouthfull. Over 5 years of broadcasting, and an extra 3 years sharing a common vision, the soil, fertilised using care and compassion, is rich and ready. The seeds are beginning to sprout, their new pods expressing delicate colours and fragrances as their petals’ reach for the sun. These are flower beds that grow.
16 artists held in the hands of Papatūānuku, standing tall and supported on the land of Aotearoa. Their expressions, like a flower, come with roots beyond the technicolor appearance.
Like this garden-related world, this compilation disc holds the ecosystem of a beautiful collective of artists related to Mouthfull via radio, concerts, and play over the years. It touches upon different musical genres while remaining uniquely itself in its full form.

This is an image from The Sealion. It was a boat parked up in Te Whanganui a Tara for a long time, and we facilitated performances on the boat for a month - playing music to the east by west ferry that would pass by every 20 minutes to and from the harbour. Part of the What If The City Was A Theatre programme.
