Written by resident ranga M D Turd, produced, directed, filmed and edited by Angus Ashton (check out his other work on this channel). Sound engineered and mixed by Anthony Rochester at Pricklepad Mando and vocal: Samora Squid Keys and vocal: Fanny Quicksilver Bass and vocal: M D Turd Drums: Father Bicket Harp and dog handling: Mr Hall Released 28 February 2012, to coincide with Julia Gillard's retention of the Prime Ministership and role of Chief Ranga of Oz. Maybe the cultural references are a little too ethno-centric to translate. Hoping at least some Aussies will see it and get a chuckle. My first involvement in a production of this sort. Very interesting.
That was Bloody Funny guys! And short but sweet harp, coulda had more...... Shame you guys aren't in government damn spam prevention ---------- One of Rubes's bands, DadsinSpace-MySpace
Thanks fellers. Had some very funny/kinda stressful moments making it. About $1500 worth of traffic offences in the car if the police came too close (overloading, seat belts, camera on bonnet) and i dont like to think how much for the parts where the stuff dumps on the road. We found a quiet road in a seaside town. I stood just out of shot and as soon as the stuff hit the road, started running after that spare wheel. I caught it just after it entered a private home driveway, just before it trashed anything in the garden. Stopped it and then scampered back to clear the road. We moved on for the part where Sam falls out the back. that was in a place where there are very few vehicles, but ever 15 minutes or so is patrolled by federal police. Airport perimeter.
Thanks BronzeWailer (great handle btw), I really appreciate that. The turds have toured up to Sydney/Newcastle a couple times. Likely we'll head that way again when the new album comes out. Masters just went to producer last week. So maybe next spring/summer. There are quite a few MT clips on YouTube now, but the group has had lots of personnel over the years, so they are not all representative of what it's like now. Oh, I forgot to credit the real star (in my eyes at least) Genna the welsh spaniel
Hey Henry, cheers mate! Good to hear from you. Hows things? Are you still building harps? Oh yeah, Honking' on Bobo, it's a pretty awful name. Leads to some nasty promo slogans.
