our favouritest people in the whole entire world, i.e. the publicists and marketing folk who make everything that we do - actuallypossible. On my journalistic-ventures, I haven't yet encountered any other NZ media who shoot their own photos on location at a face-to-face interview with international bands. In ten to twenty-five minutes (depending how late, or on-time the artist is running), we cram everything that we possibly can! Talking, self-portrait drawing, games, photoshoot, video message... Depending which way you look at it, that's either a really long amount of time if you haven't done your homework, or a ridiculously short amount of time to fit in everything we always aim to accomplish. But, as you already knew - we are crazy, crazy people at Coup De Main. So we made twenty-two Christmas cards using photos from photoshoots that the above mentioned people organised for us; to particularly emphasises our endless love for these always patient, always understanding, publicists who kindly humour our various crazy efforts. This year I've asked Pixie Lott to stand on a table holding a magnifying glass, dressed Basshunter as a Native American Red Indian, shot Underoath's happiest posed photos ever(?), defied all odds to comic book store-ness with Bring Me The Horizon... Yeah, it's been an odd year. Anyway, see below! The 3OH!3, Basshunter and LMFAO interviews haven't been published yet - so I guess this is a sneek peak for you...
