QLD FEVER

2010-01-28T13:59:00.000-08:00

We got a killer night planned for the goldy premo. Billy's beach house is a rad hang. pool party, giveaways, signings, mad hangs and of course an outdoor screening of the Fever(weather permitting). Don't miss this night, it will be awesome. Tix $10 available from Inverted or at the door.

The Sunny coast prem is more theatre style. We got a cool venue, and expect it to get wild with the likes of Jono Bruce and dudes getting necked and writing everyone off. So come, if only to see Jono and the bucket of KFC inked to his neck. Tix $15 available from Inverted or at the door.

Cutting Edge.

2010-01-12T23:36:00.000-08:00

I haven't updated this blog for a while, me n Cakes have been working very hard in the editing suite and feeling genuinely weird. We'll probably announce the premiere dates in an hour or two, and whether or not we're crazy enough to hold a northern beaches premiere with 7 days notice...

Grade A douche

This shave is known in the cutting room as 'The Bruman'

Dav's cat. I hate cats, not all cats, but most. This one I hate more than most.

FEVER DREAM the musical from FLAMES YATES on Vimeo.

We've been hangin out with a dude by the name of Russel W, sorting out some sounds for our project. Such a talented dude, and his side project with Dane Taylor, Shining Bird is equally rad. We also had 'Absolute Boys' kino Versosa, grace us with his presence and I'm glad he did. His band is recording a small vinyl release soon, or maybe they already have. I'm so freakin excited for this to come together...

Ghost bird

2009-12-03T18:15:00.000-08:00

First shot from my new holga with bw film I stole from Greivesy. Ghost bird. Believe it.

Big Man on Campus. v2.0

2009-11-16T16:23:00.000-08:00

It wasn't so long ago you could have found Jimmy Kates down his local beach gettin' freaky on 2 foot dribble all day long. Zion team manager gives this hole the Koot stamp of approval.

We been waitin' all year to get massive stern, and she finally came through. Fellas callin biggest stern ever surfed with the bigs ones being unpaddleable. Around 4pm the swell dropped to 12 feet and most dudes left. Craziest day of our lives. The walk back in the dark felt like nothing...

Finlay

Some dude from Jersey called the Pom.

The Pom again. Best thing I've ever filmed.

Noodle

Charles. This kid left his Tassie home and moved to the goldy last week. He threw down every last cent to make it home for this swell. Now he has no money to get back. Crazy.

Big Wheels (The Day Bryce Gage Slept In)

2009-10-12T19:01:00.001-07:00

Getting skunked and rained on three days straight aint fun. An entire wardrobe cycle. A ruined 50mm f1.4 sitting in the bin. James Cakes quit bodyboarding twice. So we threw down on a whim, Cakes unfastened the noose and Bryce Gage (Fever auxilary angle) enjoyed a few extra zeds. Six foot nuggan and empty. Finlay did so many jumps he rolled in and threw up on the rocks.

Bombora: the musical

2009-10-08T23:50:00.000-07:00

Big wave extroadinaire, James Kates anxiously watches his prey.

Too much pipe

2009-09-30T19:14:00.001-07:00

Pipe gets kinda repetitive to watch but it's just so much fun when you're there. Promise there won't be too much of it in the vid.

Ben. Killer forward, 100fps.

Bennett tweak. Didn't hold it for long enough so it doesn't look that good in motion. Did a sick reverse on a right but.

Winny.

Here's another shot of corpse sitting on a bicycle.

Corpse/pipe: best of

2009-09-16T16:23:00.000-07:00

Corpse was whinging about not getting enough hangtime on this blog, so here's a few cool frames from the wave he loves most.

Salt

2009-09-16T02:58:00.000-07:00

Beachbreaks kinda get me excited, even though I hate sand.
Corpse and Jim pre-summer salt hangs.

Never Again.

2009-08-31T07:13:00.000-07:00

I so badly want Vico to be that cool place of rare beauty that exists in my mind. But every time it gets me. Those horizons stacked full of raw ocean, and dusted by stiff offshores fall upon the world's worst geology, and I go home with nothing besides a sore throat, general loathing for fellow man and the words resounding, 'never again'

And then a day like this comes along.

Talkin Covers.

2009-08-19T23:40:00.000-07:00

We were sitting at the beanstalk the other day throwing around ideas for the cover of Fever Dream, when Thomas rocked up with this shot of the ever graceful Koot. Eureka.

Dark Raven

2009-08-16T22:33:00.000-07:00

You may have caught wind of Jono inked to the eyeballs, big dirty git flapping in the wind, tearing south on his 40 inch maddog tech. Fever dream got the motion baby.

Dav Fox: Fever Dream Enthusiast

2009-08-14T05:41:00.000-07:00

While we're on the topic, a man who loves cats as much as the next man, possibly more so. Big F'kn Dav Fox. Returned home from Bali recently. Plane quaranteened. Diagnosed with Typhoid Fever. Sweating profusely. Spewing out both holes and having crazy fever dreams about revolutionizing aerotechnology. And cats.

Picture of cat

2009-08-14T05:15:00.001-07:00

Mitch Tomkins is a man of consuming passions. Meat pies. Scaffolding. Flicking light switches on and off. Cats. He put us onto this cool site. A must see for fellow cat lovers.

Flavour Country.

2009-08-13T22:26:00.000-07:00

We been just 'lurkin' for this wave to break for years now. Every time we go there it's chit. Skitzlay said he was gonna do a bigger air than the one Greg Egg McCafferty was rumoured to do out Kiama wedge, circa 92', and he did. But we thought we'd leave you frameless until November, when the fever hits.

Brendo would go.

Skunk Hour

2009-08-07T18:06:00.000-07:00

Admitting to getting skunked on trips ain't a strength of mine. I'm far too competitive. And besides, dudes wanna hear stories man. They want sick thick barrels, walking for hours trying to find them. Packin 4 dudes on a ski in the SA desert and breaking down in open ocean. Chicks. Sharks. No, better.... Orcas.

The last thing they want is the truth. Fever Dream: A royal West Australian skunking.

Backshall. Rabbits, treated forward.

Jake bru

Big bad south box. Skitzlay nabbed the only good one.

J.C. box forward.

Backshall: small frame, solid piece.

2009-07-21T04:12:00.000-07:00

Rarely does Brendon Backshall grace us with his presence. But when he does, we certainly feel it.

Seadog

2009-06-30T05:05:00.000-07:00

Actually the best thing about SA by far is these two dudes. A trip there without them just wouldn't be the same.

Desert dreaming.

2009-06-30T04:41:00.000-07:00

South Oz has always drawn me, there's just something about it. Even the drive is cool. Most times it's a last minute decision to throw everything into the car and punch it 24 hours straight, white line fever. You always kinda know what's in store for you, which means your mind can relax and really let you enjoy it. And when something unexpected comes along then you get really excited. Mad desert fever hangs, not long ago.

Jase(pictured 2 snaps above) has a real knack for scurfing, he's pretty naturally talented at everything he does. Not long after this shot was taken a few local seadogs informed us that this particular spot is one of sharkiest in the state, with regular sightings and alledged resident whites. That empty wave directly above is situated right in the middle of it all.

Takin' it for the team

2009-06-25T17:03:00.000-07:00

Today was a good day. After throwing himself tactlessly into sick kegs for 6 hours, James 'Flamin' Kates hopped on the back of the ski and filmed his mates having fun as the sun set. Top bloke. Doesn't mind a dirty port either.

Its curtains for Joey C.

Corpseface.

Unfortunately team manager Koot could not be present due to business engagements.

Downtime

2009-06-17T22:48:00.000-07:00

Tech dude Sam Bennett recently dislocated his knee by attempting a teen idol Robbie Gray signature gorf. The manoeuvre was reported to have been particularly painful, for both rider and viewer. We wish both parties a swift recovery.

Bennett in happier days.

Mad fever hangs late last month. Here's to winter.

The Zion family extends a warm welcome to several new members.
1) a rotting corpse. and,
2) a deserved new manager, James 'kootdog' Cayley.

Once revived and clad in smart gentlemen's golfing attire he was all smiles.

A face only a mother could love. Handpicked by Zion for family managment position.

feverdream

2009-05-20T04:38:00.000-07:00

hey, we're zion. the makers of flux. those guys that borrowed a mates camera for two months, showering you with dream beats and all the joyous product placement you never knew you wanted.

at zion we're really about dreams. the dreams planted in our hearts. the experience. the unknown. getting in way over our heads. chasing that last hour of light. sacrifice. taking risks. throwing down on a whim to destinations we know nothing about and coming back with our tail between our legs. we're about weaving dreams and doing some cool chit in between. so we've borrowed another camera and this time it's for a year. the fever dream. a little piece of us that will be manifesting late 09.
