Ground To Zero

Freedom and music

I thought I’d take a few moments to share what I’ve been doing outside of Ground To Zero. This recent entry brings us to part five!

More than just the corner stone of every bachelor’s diet, Doritos have also launched a nation-wide competition called “Make An Ad, Make A Fortune”.  The competition pits aspiring film makers against each other to create the next Doritos TV commercial so their advertising agency doesn’t have to.  We at Golden Tusk Productions think that’s a brilliant idea, so we threw our hat into the ring.

Combine the above with alcohol, boredom and one overacting cowboy and this is what you get:

Does this make us sell outs? Absolutely not. What makes us sell outs is that we’re asking all of you to vote for our video to be selected for TV air time. By voting for our video, you’ll be helping us fulfil our life long dream of being ripped apart on the Gruen Transfer.

We need your votes before next week to win the round, so go now and vote my lovely ladies and gentle folk!

[VOTE NOW]

Have I plugged the voting thing enough yet?

I thought I’d take a few moments to share what I’ve been doing outside of Ground To Zero. Welcome to part four (will this never end?).

In the world of Star Wars geekdom, not much escapes me. It was only a matter of time before I caught wind of the Star Wars Uncut project. I mentioned it to my pals over at Golden Tusk Productions and, to my surprise, they loved the idea. And so, the following bastardisation of Star Wars was born.

So I had a little extra spare time recently and thought I’d take a few moments to share what I’ve been doing outside of Ground To Zero. Welcome to part two.

We had so much fun making Wine Capades for Golden Tusk Productions that we made a sequel with a cleverly imaginative name. Beer Capades is just like Wine Capades, except with more hops… and nothing like Wine Capades. Watch the teaser video, you’ll get the idea.

EDIT: So, I forgot to mention the most important part! The theme song for Beer Capades was written and recorded by Ground To Zero regulars Catherine Robinson (guitar) and myself (drums). You may remember seeing Catherine in our Demo 1 video from the first jam session. Now finally we have some new music here for you. Enjoy!

It’s a long weekend here in Australia (except for WA). This is a time when we celebrate the birth of the Queen of England by doing… nothing in particular. Possibly the best reason for Australia to remain under a monarchy. Not that being a republic wouldn’t also be fab.

So anyway, I had a little extra spare time this weekend and thought I’d take a few moments to share what I’ve been doing outside of Ground To Zero. Welcome to part one.

Over the past year or two I’ve been stepping out from behind the drums and in front of a camera with the rest of the Golden Tusk Productions crew. We’ve been making odd-ball indie short films for years, but this time we put together a mini-series devoted to one of life’s most wonderful pleasures: wine drinking! Here’s a little taste of Wine Capades:
