No man its cool, no doubt Phil Judd is under-appreciated. I haven't heard much myself but will endevour to get some early stuff. So obviously he contributed certain songs to Split Enz..what are some good examples. Must seek out 'Under the Wheel' ..can you name some other underghround influences here that are overlooked you reckon...bill direen? scorched earth policy? shoes this high?
the axemen? steve maccabe? the puddle?

Hey Matt,

Just kidding 'bout the godfather bit, but I get sick of all that talk of Knox being

the godfather of NZ's alternative music scene, etc. I do think if there were a

godfather, it should be Phil Judd, even if for nothing else but that masterpiece

 "Under the Wheel," which I think has been a huge phantom influence on much

NZ music that came later, well, the good stuff anyway.

 

Seriously, the guy's got a great new album together but no label backing it so far.

It's the best stuff he's done since his days with the Enz, y'know before he left

that group and they became total shit.

 

Here's a new video Judd's done. You need quicktime 7

I think you'll like the song and the "Fire Extinguisher" one I mentioned.

I'm Electric Elf on myspace -- I joined when I heard Judd was joining.

Good to see you on there.

Hey Matt,

Phil Judd's on myspace now. Hope you remember him.

Check out his new "Fire Extinguisher" tune.

His new stuff is awesome.

His page is pretty freakin' entertaining as well.
