EXCLUSIVE BLOG from behind the scenes on Rosie and the Goldbug's new video!








































We go behind the scenes with Rosie and the Goldbug on the set of their new video for "You've Changed" - check out the blog from Pixie, Plums and Rosie (and Mr Happy the horse!)

---



With the fabulous Isaac Rentz flying in to Cornwall for the first time we knew that this video would be a lot of fun and once again very interesting with Isaac loving the thought of us Bugs running around with animals. Isaac is a video director from America who blew us away so much with the work he did on our last video for the "Lover" single that we had to work with the majestic maestro once again.

The main idea behind the video was to capture the ethereal feeling of the song "You've Changed" which some reviews have commented on as being our guilty pleasure, if this means that it is slightly poptastic and a whole lot of fun to play live then I agree.

We set out to a secret location somewhere on Bodmin Moor with a whole entourage of people (that got lost in one big long line of cars moving through the valley like a Jeff Jordan sea snake!) including The Toad, our much loved make up artist, also a massive horse that Rosie would soon be riding at crazy speeds chasing a quad with Isaac shaking over every country bump but somehow managing to control the biggest camera in the world.

We dressed like modern day Victorian style vixens (and dude!!) and used the amazing setting to create interesting back drops whilst we individually strutted our stuff and Plums attacked her drum kit with thousands of drums sticks to prove that she was the boss of the beats.

Overall the shooting for the video went unbelievably well with no problems and our timing could not have been more perfect, with the last shot consisting of a natural sunset falling behind the band playing covered in smoke and a final shot of a well worked Miss Rosie Vanier.

We can't wait to see the finished thing - keep your eyes peeled for the video, coming soon!

BREAKING NEWS: Oasis cancel Eden gig

OASIS were due to play their first ever gig in Cornwall next week, but it has just been announced that the band have had to postpone the date due to the injuries Noel sustained when he was attacked whilst performing onstage in Toronto recently.



The band's management confirmed this late this afternoon with the following statement: "Oasis are being forced to postpone three further shows as a result of the injuries Noel sustained when he was attacked on stage in Toronto. A CT scan has now revealed that Noel suffered three broken and dislodged ribs in the attack and he has been advised by his doctor that he will not be able to perform for at least another week.

"The three affected shows are the Eden Project, Cornwall on September 27, the Gloria Theatre, Cologne on September 29 and Bataclan, Paris on September 30. All three shows will be rescheduled and fans are advised to retain their tickets pending further announcements. The Oasis UK Arena Tour, beginning October 7, is going ahead as planned."

Peter Hampel, Eden's creative director, said: "We are sorry to hear that Noel's injuries mean that he will not be well enough for the band to perform on Saturday and we wish him a speedy recovery. We share fans' disappointment at the latest news. We are now talking to the band's management about rescheduling the concert."

Ticket holders are advised to keep their tickets and await further announcements.
Further information and updates will be published on www.edenproject.com

SEE FRESH NEW TALENT AT FREE GIGS IN CORNWALL: Max Tuohy


A series of free gigs have been announced to showcase the fresh new talent of young musician Max Tuohy. Tuohy (pronounced two-e) has recently been signed to Ugly Truth Records, the home of Newton Faulkner. Since Faulkner’s initial success seems to have been linked to the fanbase he built up by doing intimate gigs around Cornwall, record company bosses have recognised the area as a good “testing ground” for new acts. Ugly Truth spokesman James Roberts said, “Audiences in Cornwall are always willing to listen to new artists and do not seem to be swayed by trends or music critics, they make up their own minds!”

Max has been described as “a young beatboxing Jack Johnson with the soulful voice of David Gray” and has also been pegged as “one to watch” for 2009, so catch him while you can for free at the below dates next week.

10th Sept - Boujis, Truro
11th Sept - Tap House, St Agnes
12th Sept - Sandsifter, Godrevy
13th Sept - Miss Peapods, Falmouth

Go to www.myspace.com/max2e07 to listen to his single, Run Over.
