DP1 Café - Greymouth Performance Café
This story is about a very cool café in Greymouth run by a very energetic and passionate man, Zane Smith. We see how a lot of hard work and humour can make a small town perfect for a funky café. As Zane prepares for a gig at his café he tells us how he started the café and what he hopes to achieve from it.

We get to see how 3 young women, who couldn't play an instrument between themselves, got together to form a punk band that is making waves overseas and how they got to play with the Beastie Boys.
