Rock For Children (Rock FC) - Football United The World

It's been so busy at Fenixx HQ lately that we've only found the time to update our Blog with a few recent projects we've been working on!

As we all know we are midway through the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and it is always a custom to have a few football songs floating around this time. While many are just for purely for fun and all in the spirit of getting involved, there are some videos that come with a really powerful cause behind it.

Introducing "Football United The World" the brain child of LostAlone's Steve Battlle and Dan Weller who we had the pleasure of filming with Beasts towards the end of last year. A powerful rock anthem of a football song were every penny made goes towards helping children in Brazil through Street Child World Cup in association with Save The Children.

We couldn't resist helping out editing this video together as it featured a great number of some of our favourite bands! Enter Shikari, Kids in Glass Houses, Skindred, Marmozets, Baby Godzilla, Blitz Kids, Itch, Verses, Natives, The First, Fearless Vampire Killers, Beasts, Rob Lynch, Only Rivals and A Loss For Words all taking part in this fun record which was mostly recorded at the Slam Dunk Festival earlier this Summer.
With that superstar roster of bands, fantastic support by famous faces in the music industry and Sport Personalities alike, please enjoy below #footballunitedtheworld

Felix Magath World Cup Interviews

A few months ago we started a project with Marathon Bet where we were invited to Fulham's training ground for sit down with Felix Magath (43 caps, West Germany) to film an interview with him about his past experiences as a player in World Cup tournaments ('82, '86) and his predictions for this years FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Of course due to the content these videos they were rightfully held off from release till World Cup fever kicked in. Check out the playlist below from Marathon Bet's YouYube to see the new videos being uploaded daily.

Overall there are 9 videos focused on a variety of hopeful World Cup Finalists, a few to mention are England, Portugal, Brazil, Germany. In particular, the Germany video which is a nice watch, as you see Felix showing his love and passion for that team that he has a special personal connection with.

Beasts - Camden Rocks Festival (2014)

With the festival season now starting to kick into full force, and Beasts' upward momentum showing no sign of a decline any time soon, we filmed their latest instalment of their Mini-Docs at a recent appearance at Camden Rocks.

This episode showcases a clear transitional period that the band are going through with press starting to pick up and take notice of the progression they are taking. This appearance at Camden Rocks believe it or not, came off the back of their previous appearance at The Great Escape, with the organisers managing to catch a glimpse of them down at Brighton's famed festival and subsequently added them to the bill playing as main support to Baby Godzilla.

What is clear in this edition of the Beasts festival videos is that not everything can be smooth sailing, as you shall see midway through their set. The video is featuring on Art Rocker.

We hope you enjoy this latest edition, and hopefully you can join us at the next one. Which will be the Isle of Wight Festival!

The Magic Mod with Marathonbet at Fulham Football Club

A few weeks back we were asked to do something a little different to our usual music jobs. We were asked by Fulham Football Clubs sponsors Marathonbet to film Fulham super fan, and widely respected magician The Magic Mod (@taylormod) to perform street magic on a Sunny Saturday afternoon during match day vs Southampton.

Fulham Football club, were incredibly kind and hospitable during the whole shooting experience, with them allowing us to conduct our interview with The Magic Mod inside the ground before the match, and being able to film around the tunnel area.

Up in Maronthonbet's corporate box we even had a cameo from Fulham legend Les Strong who was clearly impressed with the magic that was put on display!

After the job was done, we tucked into plenty of lovely food courtesy of Marathonbet's corporate box, and had some mighty fine seats for the match too. A very enjoyable job, and hopefully we will have more to come soon!

Enjoy the video below.

BLEECH - Humble Sky Teaser

In early 2013 we first met BLEECH during the filming of our 2nd episode of our KOKO Presents web series with Club NME, in which they were the headliners of the show for that night. Here at Fenixx we can easily say that the episode with BLEECH is certainly still one of our favourite shows that we have filmed at KOKO, and below you can see a link to that very episode where we have a nice little interview and some really cool snippets from their energetic show.

Fast forward to 2014, and coming March 10th is BLEECH's second album "Humble Sky" which is ready to be unleashed and from what we've heard so far its is certainly an album worth getting your hands on! A little while back after the KOKO show we were asked by the band if we could put together a teaser Promo using some of the rushes that would support the announcement of when "Humble Sky" is due!

Personally we are big fans of BLEECH's music so please check out below the Promo for "Humble Sky" and check out the videos of them below which we've had plenty of fun filming.

Beasts 'Annie' (Audio Only)

Tom hanging around

A new band we have been working with lately is the Twickenham three piece, Beasts. 

They've certainly put themselves out there already having played support slots for the likes of Miles Kane and Dinosaur Pile-Up.

We were in the studio with the lads back in December 2013 filming them record a couple of new tracks with the legendary Dan Weller from SikTh, who has produced albums for Enter Shikari, Young Guns and many more! The short studio documentary with Beasts will be released later in the year.

Since then we have filmed a experimental/audio only video for their track "Annie" the day after it was exclusively Premiered on BBC Radio 1's Rock Show with Daniel P Carter.

The idea for this video was rather simple, we got each of the lads down to the studio in Soho and got them to hang upside down in a very simple and possibly unusual companion to the track! We certainly had a lot of fun shooting this! The video was exclusively released on Art Rocker.

What are your thoughts?
