The Chills - Rolling Moon (Lost Video)

Emerging from The Chills archive thirty-eight years after it's recording comes an unreleased early promo video for their first 7" 'Rolling Moon'. Recorded at Pilots Bay in Dunedin (New Zealand) back in 1982, video director Peter Janes unearthed the video when sourcing material for their recent documentary film 'The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps' (Watch the official trailer here -    • The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy of Marti...  ).

'Something special for all you Chills fans as legendary New Zealand cameraman/director Peter Janes has used lockdown time to edit together the long-lost 'Rolling Moon' footage into a clip. The result of the 1982 shoot at Pilots Bay, Dunedin were originally deemed largely too dark for use and then the film was lost for over three decades and only recently discovered in time for a tiny piece of it to be included in the documentary 'The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps'. But now we finally have a promo clip for our first 7" single from 1982. Drummer Martyn Bull was too sick on the day to come out to where we filmed the clip so we had to go ahead without him. It's such a shame. Enjoy!' - Martin Phillips

"I’m sorry it took so long, it’s amazing it surfaced at all. The footage has been in various, attics, stables, and garages for almost forty years. I really must speed up my post production efforts. Sorry Martin. I shot these clips for the joy if it really" - Peter Janes

Peter Janes also shot 'Kaleidoscope World' and 'Oncoming Day' as well as 'Rolling Moon' - all in Dunedin.
