One House. Twenty Bands. One film.

Watch this #4
I'm in the mood for this #26

In the spring of 2007, two friends were moving out of their home.



One of them, a local poster/print guru and sometime dance punk enthusiast, the other, a former local radio personality and History maker decided to throw one big last hurrah to their time while living at 6015 Willow Street in Halifax's north end.


Die Brucke

The "hurrah" became a "holy shit" when the idea blossomed into 20 bands in 3 days and a document of not only a house that has housed many musicians and artists (members of such bands as Die Brucke, The Memories Attack and Dog Day have all lived in the house) but also the Halifax music scene, or rather, the scene which often operates, creates and plays in Halifax's north end.



Our two friends, Paul Hammond and Jeff Parker enlisted not only the bands into this project (and by extension, a whole bunch of their friends) but also director Mark Mullane and (later on) editor Evan Elliott. This "holy shit" had now transcended into a full fledged "HOLY FUCK" as the film was now no longer a document of a weekend in someone's house, but rather, a document of a scene, a city and an artistic endeavour which was now bigger than the two people who had thought of it, almost jokingly.

In this episode of Moody Morning Music I interview Paul and Elliott about their work on this film, about 6015 Willow and how the little film that could is now the big film that is.

Listen. (Zshare)
