This week The Warratahsrelease their 30th Anniversary Compilation Drivin’ Wheel, with an animated video by Jody Lloyd (Trillion).
'The song is about Barry travelling around New Zealand in autumn with his young daughter, and how she would brighten up the lives of everybody who crossed their paths. I tried to capture the NZ landscape and the colours of autumn and create a 'feeling' with a simple narrative.
I really wanted to challenge myself to develop a new slow, meditative and thoughtful music video style - like something that no one else is doing. In this world, everything is so fast-paced and everyone tries to grab attention by being flashy and slick. I want to create the opposite, like the viewer is turning through an art book, or staring out the window of a moving train. It’s In those kinds of moments I come up with new ideas or get inspired to create for the sake of creating. I want to encourage everyone into that space - humans are creative beings. The world is a better place when we inspire each other to think and create, and just go WOW, that’s possible.’
Jody Lloyd is a New Zealand musician who started out his long musical journey in the rap group Dark Tower. He now makes music under the name Trillion. www.trillion.co.nz

“Barry Saunders sings about the changes that happen around us, changes we can do nothing to prevent, as well as the ones that take place inside. And he does it better and more recognisably than just about anyone.” - Nick Bollinger RNZ
For over 30 years The Warratahs have carved a niche into the New Zealand landscape - literally from North Cape to Bluff, becoming legendary for extensively touring both small towns and cities alike.
This year New Zealand’s greatest country music band celebrate the 30th Anniversary of their debut album The Only Game In Town. Winning the Country Music Album Award for 1988 and receiving a Gold Award for sales, the album included songs that have long become well known favourites - Hands Of My Heart, Maureen and The Only Game In Town.
“..the sizzling ‘Little Flame’, arguably one
of Saunders best-ever songs”
