Jon then congratulates the
boys on their album going gold in 2 days.
That’s 7500 copies in two
days.
Throughout the show Jon,
Hugh (especially) and Petra keep saying ‘screaming girls’ where all the
chicks in the audience then scream for Zed.
In the first set Andy and Nathan are sitting at the booth with Petra and Jon, and Ben and Adrian are standing with Hugh behind the bench.
Jon: Screaming girls, 7500
copies in two days did you guess that it would be happening like that?
Nathan: no
Andy: not that quick
Jon: did you dare to hope?
Nathan: no
What did you guess?
Nathan: four or five
Andy: I was hoping for four
Petra: four or five copies
or four or five thousand?
Nathan : copies
Jon: we’re each going to
ask you a question, my questions is I’m a lover I’m a Winner, I’m a fighter,
going to set your soul on fire.
(Andy pretends to be lighting
a match over Jon’s chest.)
Nathan: that’s deep and
meaningful.
Jon: that’s renegade fighter,
that’s your latest song, its going great guns by the way, but like what
does it mean?
Andy: we think its about
Jackie chan
Jon: is it?
Andy: yeah
Jon: what’s the soul on
fire thing, is it some sort of soul arsonist going round? No?
Nathan: I don’t know
Andy: that’s a good slant
Nathan: I just noticed when
you read that lyric out it sounded damn rude I’m quite embarrassed.
Jon and Petra: don’t be
embarrassed.
Petra: your a pretty funky
band and I’m sure any person here would be glad to have Zed at their 21st
party
audience : yeah and they
all screamed
Petra: but you’ve all just
turned 21 who did you have play at your parties?
Nathan: my mum
Petra: she played at your
party
Andy: she played organ
Nathan: she’s pretty hot
on the old organ.
Jon: what about you Andy?
Andy: I didn’t have a 21st
Jon and Petra: oh
Nathan: you were in Brazil?
Andy: I was in a foreign
country and had no friends
more oh’s
Hugh: I’m lucky enough to
have the rhythm section
Adrian and Ben: drum’n’bass
Hugh: drum’n’bass, Ben and
Adrian, back in the day in the Smokefree rockquest, fourth in your regionals,
and you’ve done so well at fourth, what I want to know is who came 1st
2nd and 3rd ?
Ben: no idea
Adrian: we don’t know
Ben: but everyone came fourth
Adrian: if you didn’t win
a prize you came fourth
Ben: your always close
Hugh: so it was one of those
it’s not about who wins its about entering?
Pffft! (pulls a funny face)
Hugh ‘screaming girls’
Hugh: from the days in the
Rockquest when you were little Christchurch babies into the band that now
attracts "screaming girls" how much of a good thing was it having Ray Columbus
as your manager that must have been quite an advantage?
Adrian: its modtastic
Hugh: modtastic
after the first ad break
all the zed boys are sitting at the booth with Petra
Petra: we thought that seen
these boys seem to travel in tow with lots of screaming girls we thought
we’d talk to them and see it they have questions specifically for the band.
Girl 1: you guys have always
been such an awesome band and still are, but I was wondering how come you
made the transition from a three-member band to a four member band?
Ben: its all about being
y2k compliant really
Adrian: a bit of blonde
always helps as well
the other boys say yeah
and they tug on Andy’s hair
Nathan: we need a token
blonde in the band
Ben: our IQ was too high
Andy pulls some sort of
‘oh’ injured face
Petra: oh, they’re so mean
to the little guy
Girl 2: If you could meet
anyone in the whole wide world at any time who would it be?
Ben: that’s a good question
Adrian: I need more time
to think about it
Nathan: should we answer
it individually?
Ben: I think if anyone comes
up with a good answer, just one answer will do , for some reasons Abraham
Lincoln comes into my head
Nathan: maybe it was the
beard
Petra: Abraham Lincoln,
that’s as good as you can do?
Girl 3: Andy how much did
you get paid to do that little dance on the just juice ad?
Andy: how much did I get
paid?
Petra: your past always
comes back to you
Andy: I got paid "cough"
Jon: oh, that much
Andy: I was the black man
Girl 4: have you had any
really embarrassing moments on stage?
Andy: that one
Plenty
Adrian: Andy just cut Nathan’s
hand today with his guitar today, this real axe
Nathan: we were playing
instore today and we got a bit close and I got a bit of blood going on,
that’s not exactly embarrassing though, that’s rock’n’roll.
Then they played Renegade Fighter and you could hear all of the things in the studio set moving because of the bass.
Then they played ‘know your
bandmates’ we each of the band has to answer the questions on another person
in the band.
Adrian and Andy are standing
with Hugh behind the counter. And Nathan and Ben are on the booth with
Jon and Petra. Ben is sitting next to Petra.
Hugh: I’ll happily ask the
first question, my question is about the old power house on the bass over
there, Ben, its desert island ladies. Ben is stuck on a desert island what
are his pick of three ladies?
Adrian: he’d pick selma
hayek
Ben: oh!
Jon: and who else
Adrian: pass
Ben: that’s really good
but I’ve got to say my first choice was actually Petra,(then he leans over
and puts his arm around Petra)*ah, the sleaziness, we never noticed it back then, we were too blinded by his looks* but Selma was in there (the list reads "Liv
Tyler, Selma Hayek and Petra).
Petra: its not true, look
I’m on the bottom of the list there. (to ben) Thanks anyway.
Jon: its my turn to ask
a question of Ben, Ben I want you to tell of Nathan, his starsign, his
birthday and the city that his mother’s mother lives in.
Ben: birthday’s November
29, which is after Scorpio, um, I don’t know my star signs very well, his
mother’s mother’s city, it would have to be Christchurch
Jon: how did he do Nathan?
Nathan has a bit of trouble
trying to work out which way to hold up the card, Ben got 2 out of three
and Nathan’s starsign was Sagittarius
Petra: okay I am asking
Nathan of Andy, what would Andy’s porn star name be? When you make the
porn star name
Nathan: oh gee,um oh, hang
on his dog’s name and maybe the street that he lives on?
Jon: give it a go
Nathan: Lucy "
"? (Congratulations for giving out Andy's street name, nathan... however
I have now taken it out)
Andy holds up his card and
his porn star name is "randy piston" there is a lot of laughter
Jon: and the final question
of Andy about Adrian is what do you think Adrian’s favourite track off
the album is and what’s his favourite gig that he ever played?
Andy: his favourite gig
would be the big day out, and his favourite track would be ..
Hugh: you cheating? (I think
Adrian was whispering to Andy the answers)
Andy: don’t you wish
Andy was right
Then the played Glorafilia
which when Petra introduced it she didn’t say it right.
Jon and Hugh were behind
the counter doing some sort of weird hand dance and Jon is singing along.
Andy has his jersey back
on now, he can’t make up his mind whether he’s hot, cold or what, at the
end Andy does a little dance in a circle with his guitar that looks very
cute
After the next ad break the
boys are sitting on the booth again with Petra, again with Ben sitting
next to her.
Petra: are you going to
tour to support the album?
Ben: sure are!
Petra: yeah, when?
Ben: Late September, early
October
(at this point its hard
to describe it but just he way Ben says it when he’s looking at Petra,
it cracks me up each time, he’s trying not to laugh, and Nathan and Adrian
look at each other and both laugh
Petra: and once you’ve conquered
New Zealand where to next?
Ben and Nathan look at each
other
Nathan: Aussie! (in a really
bad fake aussie accent)
Ben: Aussie!
Petra: aussie next?
Nathan : we’re practicing
our accents as we speak
Petra: I think you’re going
to go off in Australia
Nathan: that would be cool
Then they showed a segment of Hugh interviewing four people from ‘the tribe’ we’re he told all of them that their character was Jon Bridges favourtie character. He also spoke to one guy (lex I think) about how they met or had lunch with Daphne and Celeste.
Petra: is there a favourite
girl band, like you were going to pick a favourite girl band; a sister
band for zed?
Nathan: Daphne and Celeste
yeah
Ben: they’re pretty up there
Nathan: or maybe not
Ben (starts singing) and
your daddy
Petra: if you weren’t going
to be a band some you were going to be pilots (to Andy) you’ve got your
pilots license?
Andy: yeah
Petra: (to nathan) have
you
Nathan: I flew solo for
a while there and just didn’t quite make the grade.
Petra: what is it with being
a pilot?
Andy: we both hope to crash
in the near future
Petra: really why?
Andy; oh, all the good die
young
Petra: Hugh?
Hugh: easy cowboy
Have you actually got your
pilots liscence
Andy: yeah
Hugh: are you going to go
commercial?
Andy: nup, too expensive
hugh: get a loan, get the
government to pay like I did
Andy : I shouldn’t be put
in charge of a big jet
hugh: nah with stuff like
that it doesn’t surpise me.
Then the played the closing theme. It sems weird to me that they didn’t just play a song at the end instead of playing two of them in the middle of the show. Hmmm.
Ice as is supposed to be
live on a Saturday night and repeated on Sunday night. How ever I have
made a decision that it was done on Friday night as Adrian said they were
doing an instore performance today, (Friday at soundz) and they were all
wearing the same clothes that they wore to soundz. (but adrian was wearing
a jersey).
And for those of you who
don’t know, hugh is doing his pilots lisence or else he did it after he
left bfm.
