HELM’s Video for debut Single ‘Release the Eagles’. Filmed, Directed, Produced by Talon Clemow.

From their myspace - http://www.myspace.com/ghostatthehelm - Mat, Scott, Ryan, Lucas. Four seasoned musicians who have come together to write music that they would want to listen to themselves as well as enjoy playing. Still in its early stages of growth, HELM looks to hold an exciting future for the band & homegrown music, having managed to put together an album of extremely strong and original songs in just over a six month period since first forming.

As far as the music goes and what to expect? True to songwriter Lucas Stone’s approach, fans of anything ranging from inspiring artists such as Cult of Luna & Isis right through to our own Cog, Tension, The sea shall not have them or even Pink Floyd to Tool to Meshuggah will find more than enough to split their eardrums with. This is BIG, epic experiMETAL rock…?!

This week we LOOOOVE Blame Ringo’s video clip for their song Garble Arch.  So do a lot of people, it seems - it was featured on Youtube, alongside Yves Klein Blue’s Polka filmclip. It features a day in the life of Abbey Road and THAT road crossing! Leave a comment here!

Musicadium Artist, Joel Davies has decided to donate 100% of the sales profits from the first 10,000 songs to charity - www.msf.org. Check out his great film clip for his song, When I’m with you, featured on Rage on ABC2 in Australia.

Two and a half years ago in ‘06, I realised I needed to do something about the unhappiness in the world. I picked up a guitar, and learned to sing and write. My music is only a vehicle for me to talk about helping others. I do it because it is the right thing to do. This first album is now available through iTunes. I have decided to donate 100% of the sales profits from the first 10,000 songs to charity - www.msf.org. I have put a number on it to help us with a target.

Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a world without hunger, poverty, violence or discrimination; where every man, woman or child has the ability to contribute? The people we help, will have the ability to help others someday. Also, please forward this to your network to spread the awareness. Remember, this is not about me. Together, we can move our world forward. Nothing is impossible. You can begin with a simple smile… =)

This week, it’s CC the Cat who has put her film clip for ‘Nicotine’ up for us to check out!

CC the Cat and her rockin reggae funk trio are a party-shakin’ conscious groove machine pumping out deep dark thumping acoustic rock tunes, uplifting reggae anthems and pop-catchy funk/soul journeys, featuring the astounding vocals of dub diva CC the Cat.

Since its release in late July last year, ‘Nicotine’ has already had weekly rotation on Triple J’s Roots & All, hit number 6 on Brisbane’s 4ZzZfm playlist, reached numbers 2,3 and 5 on Triple J Unearthed’s Roots Charts, and been was one of Musicadium’s feature albums!

With roots in Brisbane, Melbourne and London, and now based on the Gold Coast QLD and Lennox Head NSW (just south of Byron Bay), CC the Cat trio have 35 years of touring experience between them and members have shared stages with the likes of The Cat Empire, Blue King Brown, The Grates, Fat Boy Slim, Lionel Ritchie and R.E.M.

This week, we have local Sunshine Coast, Queensland artist Zia Moreau, who sent her video for her track, City of Love.

The clip features some wonderful Brisbane landmarks, including the XXXX Brewery, Wickham Hotel, Story Bridge during RiverFire Fireworks, the Judith Wright Centre for Contemprary Arts and the Kangaroo Point Cliffs.

The clip was shot in Super 8 film, directed by Jonas McQuiggin and Mary Moynihan. It was filmed in a funky retro 70’s style house in West Chermside, Brisbane.

This week we just had to show off Omni Anti’s film clip for their track ‘Blackbird’ which had it’s world premiere viewing at the Chiki/Musicadium ‘With Digital Love’ showcase that rocked out at Barsoma on November 25th. Directed by Jasper St Aubyn West, this film clip is visually stunning, and also at times unexpected. The metamorphisis of a blackbird into different band members is awesome!

This week we bring you Free Agent Crew’s new video for their track ‘Snakebite’ and we think we’ve hit a winner with this one. This act has been a long time favourite at the Musicadium office since we discovered them earlier in the year. The illustration aspect of this clip is a really effective concept and creates another level of interest to an already pretty funky video. (The boys are also quite easy on the eye, so ladies (and gents) strap yourself in!)
