Anyway. Let’s see what was rockin’ our radios during the 07/08 financial year, yo! More »

Rogue Traders Make New Video Clip; Later, Cure Cancer, Find New Planet, Etc
10:05AM Clem Bastow | Natalie Bassinghthwaighte & The Rogue Traders filmed a new video clip just the other day, and it was such a world-beating, groundbreaking affair that News Ltd saw fit to give us a blow by blow on every fascinating miniscule detail – including a gallery of the many faces of Nat Bass!
We know, it’s like Christmas has come early. Just try to keep yourselves together for the time being; maybe have a Bex and a nice lie down.
The clip for I Never Liked You also pairs the pop rock outfit with some of the film world’s heavyweights.
With a storyline calling for Bassingthwaighte and James Ash to bust some serious kung fu moves, fight choreographer Kyle Rowling and stunt coordinator Richard Boue – whose credits include Star Wars – were brought on board.
A visual effects team responsible for Harry Potter, Bridget Jones, 300 and Happy Feet also helped make the singer and her bandmates look like they were starring in a blockbuster.
“Even with the flexibility from my dancing days, the day after we shot the kung fu stuff, I could hardly walk,” Bassingthwaighte said.
Yes, those special effects in Bridget Jones were truly something to behold!
Honestly? We know that the entertainment news starts slowing down at this time of the year, what with the ratings off-season and people heading home for holidays, but seriously.
When they’re talking Rogue Traders you know they’re getting really desperate. More »
