The Phoenix Foundation fans who followed Buffalo release in New Zealand in April 2010 may remember a t-shirt competition which was won by Greg Hodgson.
Bradley Rogerson, a director, illustrator and designer from Auckland, together with Greg, has recently created a new, “sort a fanvid” for “Orange and Mango” – one of the tracks from TPF’s latest album. When you watch it, you can see the similarities betweet the winning design and the video.
We’d call this a ‘fanvid’ except that does’t do justice to the amazing work that has been done. Let us call it a non-commissioned, official, awesome video made by;
- Director / DOP || Bradley Rogerson
- DOP / Camera Operator || Kauri Tukere
- Illustration || Bradley Rogerson, Greg Hodgson
- Visual Effects / Editing / Post Production || Bradley Rogerson
- Talent || Gareth Locket, Ineka Vogels
- First Assistant || Bernadette Vogels
- Key Grip / Lighting || Jos Vogels
- Slate/ Lighting || James Duthie
If you’re in Germany or France and you can’t watch the video on YouTube, got to vimeo.
But that’s not over yet. The band is very generous plus they have been working on their fifth studio album so…
Share the link on Facebook or Twitter and tag us to be in the draw to win codes to download every TPF album to date. Plus we shall send the 5 random winners a selection of tracks from our NEXT ALBUM BEFORE ANYONE ELSE (…you’ll most likely get the tracks in early 2013).
Tracks from the new album!
The band will pick the winners in a week.
Good luck!… and patience.

Listen to Will Ricketts a.k.a. Wild Bill Ricketts talking on Radio New Zealand National about the creative process behind his solo album West Wind. The interview starts with the conversation with Amelia Handscomb who created album art.
Percussionist Wild Bill Ricketts has woven together recordings from several disparate sessions into his second solo album West Wind. The musicians involved are a roll call of Wellington’s finest including many members of his usual band the Phoenix Foundation.
Sam and Luke were guests on Radio New Zealand National on Friday 24 February, 2012.
Under the guise of singing songs, Sam Scott and Luke Buda from The Phoenix Foundation sneak into the studio to surreptitiously spread around some state secrets.
BOY, a film by Taika Waititi from 2010 with The Phoenix Foundation soundtrack is finally making its way to America. At the moment it’s got a limited release starting from March 2nd. You can find a list of the theatres which will screen BOY on www.boythefilm.com.
However, it would be great if the film had a wider release, so please, back this project with at least one US dollar, so that many Americans could see this great Kiwi film and hear an awesome Kiwi band.
TPF: Taika is going hard out, HARD OUT, sweet as, mean buzz to get ‘Boy’ released in the USA. You can help out here in exchange for some good ‘E’s.
Last night, The Phoenix Foundation had their first concert in a new year. It was at ASB Tennis Centre in Auckland. Looks like the guys aren’t very lucky with the weather in this city, but to be honest, who is?
phoenixfound: First Auckland show in almost a year. Last show was rained out, BDO was soggy, today soggy. We make the sky weep with joy.
Four seasons in one day…black clouds hanging over the domain… Etc.
The Phoenix Foundation closed their busy 2011 with equally successful concert at Foxglove in their home town, Wellington. Here are some short tweet-reviews,
HappyDarling: @phoenixfound making new year’s brilliant.
DrLouisSlugso: @phoenixfound @samuelfscott Mwah! Best Wgtn NYE evah. Bressacreetingcake and bailterspace covers made me wee me keks, big time. Pressshush!
emilyjem: Best NYE last night with @audreysan @Josewa @samuelfscott and many lovely other peeps at @phoenixfound gig. Wellington turned it on!
I wonder if it tastes like the syrup of the stars?
Wishing many happy days to the Band and its fans and looking forward to what 2012 brings (another UK tour? some sneak peeks to their new album?), thank you for visiting This Wobbly Bird website.
