Video: Quake frustrations voiced through song.
« on: September 16, 2013, 01:00:26 PM »
 A group of Christchurch residents, including musicians, mediaeval enthusiasts and the local Wizard, has banded together to make a music video to express their frustrations with the Christchurch Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera), EQC and "politicians" post-quake.

The video for the song, blimmin, features footage of Cathedral Square, affected homes and a life-size puppet which is meant to be Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee but which could be said to look more like the head of Cera, Roger Sutton.

After more than two years, and tired of fighting insurance companies and bureaucracy for what they believe is a fair deal, the group, described as the "blimmined All Stars Chorus", hope to use the song to raise awareness around New Zealand of their situation.
