Official Release – The Eyes Open – ‘Hello Hello’

Incredulously, the world has witnessed a few decades of social and political change in as little as eighteen months. “Hello Hello”, the inaugural first single for the New Zealand and Australian music collective, The Eyes Open, echoes the legacy of thousands of music artists across the planet that have come before them, to express the emotions of a generation.

In a song that explores the somewhat comical absurdities that exist in our modern world today, “Hello Hello” is a vehicle for exploring hope in a, what so many fear, is a looming dystopia, while offering an infectious and toe tapping sanguine vision for a post covid world.

“This is personal. With so many small businesses closing their doors, and people feeling so worried about the future in this time of uncertainty, we wanted to share a message of hope.

For us, the revolution is all about coming together as a community.” The Eyes Open lead singer noted. “Welcome to the new revolution. Let’s go find a new solution. This is our anthem now.”

Tempering the angst of so many global artists releasing music about their lockdown experience, “Hello Hello” is a song that you simply cannot listen to without feeling buoyed with optimism. “Hello Hello” was written and produced by award winning and ARIA charting music artists in Sydney, Australia while the video was filmed in New Zealand.

The coming together of such a diverse bunch of creatives heralds a turning point in a global music industry smack bang in the middle of its own new revolution.

BIOGRAPHY 

In 2020, a group of award winning and ARIA charting music artists in Australia and New Zealand started writing together over Zoom while in various stages of lockdown. Believing that the music of a generation defines its culture while simultaneously delivering it into a new era of political and social change, The Eyes Open is a collective of talented writers, lyricists, musicians, performers, film makers and producers stepping up to share their thoughts on the basic human story at this time of history.

Tapping into a collective universal question, The Eyes Open, tell the story of us all, through a somewhat aggregated pandemic experience.

Within The Eyes Open conclave, you will find award winning, ARIA nominated artists who have spent decades touring the globe bringing their music to the masses. The interruption that the COVID 19 lockdowns brought to careers and businesses afforded the collective the time to create and express and produce at a time when the business of music across the planet was changed for good.

The coming together of such a diverse bunch of creatives heralds a turning point in a global music industry smack bang in the middle of its own new revolution.

Singer Song-writer releases anti-1080 song “Poison Rain”

‘Poison Rain’ calls for an end to 1080 poison and other rodenticides in New Zealand, poison that is banned in many countries. The song asks for a better solution to be found, one that does not involve tons of poison continually tipped on New Zealand’s native forests.

To learn more about eh issue of 1080, one option is to watch the film Poisoning Paradisehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQRuOj96CRs

Aly Cook became intent on looking into 1080 poison after a conversation she had with friends who​featured on a TV Wild Video​. New Zealand farmers were interviewed in the video who had all suffered stock losses from 1080 poison drops. These farmers had been instructed by various government departments to put their compensation payouts down to ‘track maintenance’ or ‘stock food’, after their animals had tested positive for 1080 poisoning. Other farmers were asked to sign confidentiality clauses. ​watch the video here

This conversation lead Aly to look more into safe ways to reduce the number of stoats, rats and possums in the NZ bush. If there was nothing to hide, the farmers would not have been instructed to lie on an invoice.The more Aly looked into it, the more oxymorons she found. DOC claims 1080 did not kill invertebrates… yet 1080 was developed as an insecticide.

Aly says … “There are lies everywhere covering up, for example, the recent ‘so called’ botulism case in which a family who had consumed wild pork were hospitalised due to life-threatening illness.

(Here is the interview with the actual family and excerpts from their medical notes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6i4pZ5RYI4&t=570s)

The hunter’s dog died the day the wild pork was collected . After eating the pork it made the family so violently ill that they were thrashing around and the hospital staff had to strap them into their beds for days”.

The family tested negative for botulism yet they were not tested for 1080 poisoning until 18 days later following a lawyer being engaged by the family. I urge kiwis to watch this documentary and also think about what this is doing to our clean and green image. We have to find a better solution to pest control than this”.
