Central Coast creative agency, SUBCULTURE? Agency’s mission is to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive community on the Central Coast. Their new event series, Nights with Tiki La La, does exactly that.

“We are driven by a deep passion for collaboration, actively partnering with local businesses, community organisations, and talented musicians to foster a project that enriches the lives of the people in our area.

“We are incredibly grateful to be a part of such an extraordinary community, where creativity thrives, surf culture flourishes, and charming cafes abound.”

A collaboration with Heaps Normal, a visionary sponsor committed to crafting non-alcoholic beer, allows individuals to embrace their own extraordinary ‘new normal’ without the drawbacks of alcohol. The three brands – SUBCULTURE?, Heaps Normal, and Tiki La La – share the belief that some experiences in life are simply too precious to be wasted.

“With determination and a deep sense of gratitude, we strive to create a lasting impact by nurturing a thriving local community, celebrating its diverse talents, and reclaiming music as a vital part of our collective identity.”

Incorporating live recordings and live video into these events, the captivating performances will be made accessible to a wider audience through YouTube, SUBCULTURE?’s dedicated channel, and Heaps Normal’s social media channels.

“By showcasing the incredible talent that graces our stage, we aim to not only amplify the local music scene but also inspire and engage music enthusiasts near and far.”

The live sessions are taking place at Long Jetty vintage shop Tiki La La – a haven for 70’s and Mid-Century furniture as well as ethically sourced and sustainable clothing and products.

Past events include Billie Eternal + Dr Dobo, Don West + The Big Drive, and Dreamboat + Huds. Stay tuned for more monthly announcements via Tiki La La and SUBCULTURE? Agency.
