Scott Seabright (front) and Half Eaten Pie worked on both last week Commotion cinematographer — with an uncanny amount of support from Riki Reinfield and producer/ former Te Awamutu College students. director Matiu Sadd. They spent Monday recording an origi- nal new song at Neil Finn’s Roundhead Studios in Auckland, with a film production crew from Commotion. Their sound engineer was former Te Awamutu College student Scott Seabright and the band was mentored by Goodshirt frontman Rodney Fisher. Finn left Te Awamutu College just over 40 years ago and immediately immersed himself in the New Zealand music industry — making an international career with Split Enz, his own band Crowded House, as a solo artist and latterly, with family and friends, with projects such as Finn Brothers, Pajama Club and Seven Worlds. He opened Roundhead Studios in 2007 and Half Eaten Pie join an illustrious list of acts which have recorded there, including Crowded House, Kanye West, Wilco, Foals and a who’s who of New Zealand musicians. Scott Seabright was about a quarter of a century behind Neil Finn at Te Awamutu College and featured as a musician and sportsman of note. He trained as a sound engineer at Parnell’s creative media institute SAE and was then hired as an intern at nearby York Studios by manager Jeremy McPike. Two years ago the studio closed and McPike and Seabright both moved to Roundhead. This experience was mindblowing for the band, being in and around music industry professionals in the beautiful surroundings of Neil Finn’s unique recording studio. For the more classic rock-aged members of the visiting team, a highlight in the main studio was the Neve recording desk, made for The Who. The young musicians found everyone to be welcoming, encouraging and friendly, yet highly professional. The recording process took 10 hours, with little time to spare for breaks. “It is a day we will never forget,” they said. The following day the band was home with the film crew, filming in and around town including at Te Awamutu College. On Wednesday they shot a music video at school and did more filming around Te Awamutu, interviewing different parties about the band. The band will see the finalised music video with the rest of the country when it screens on TV. The show will be aired in five parts on Edge TV and TV3 before the National Final at the Raye Freeman Centre Auckland on September 24. All good fun Te Awamutu band The Good Fun (Leroy Clampitt of Hamilton Boy’s High School and Jimi Mataio, Kam Chadderton and Fraser Macdonald from Te Awamutu College) won Smokefree Rockquest in 2010. Leroy has continued in the music undustry and is based in the US. Last year he co-wrote a track for Justin Bieber’s album Purpose. Smokefree winners: Bobby Kennedy and Clint Harris (Outer Control - 1989) and Jason Kerrison (De Funk Express - 1990) formed OpShop. Bradley, Laughton and Francis Kora (Auntie Beatrice - 1991) formed Kora. Bic Runga (1993 finalist) and Anika Moa (1998 finalist) were both signed to interna- tional labels directly from the contest.

This year’s final funding round for the Cornerstone Trust was presented to three local athletes last week.

Cole McOnie (18) has recently been in the USA to compete in elite international points series, where he made the final in five out of six events. He has been selected to return to the USA as part of the New Zealand High Performance Team to compete in two World Cup events — Rock Hill: September 30 — October 2, Sarasota: October 7-9.
