Here's hoping a full version is uploaded soon!

Mental Health? Drive Myself Crazy?

'Mental Health' is going to have a music video. It's going to be in a mental institution right? I think we all know it's just a tribute to N*sync's 1996 smash hit 'Thinking Of You (Drive Myself Crazy)'. Can't wait to see it guys!



(just less prancing and more Matty)

Tidbits Of Info From MySpace!

Zebrahead have added a new blog entry to their MySpace blog containing some updates and bits of new info! The blog entry in question can be viewed in full here.

First key thing to note is that a short preview of the track "HMP" (opening track to Phoenix) has been to their MySpace Profile Player! Have a listen here! The blog entry mentions that "a new one [preview clip] will be posted every couple days for the next month or so tell the album comes out!" so keep checking the profile.

Finally the entry closes with a tidbit of info about an official site relaunch and upcoming tour dates:

"Some tour announcements coming very soon and a re-launch of the .com site on its way ASAP!"

Stay tuned!

Zebrahead Porter Bag Campaign!

Sony Japan has teamed up with Japanese bag make Porter for a special Zebrahead Campaign that will take place between July 8th and September 1st 2008!

Between these dates anyone who buys 2 of the following products from Sony Japan's store will receive a limited edition Zebrahead Porter bag:

Phoenix
Phoenix Limited Edition (w/ Be@rbrick)
Waste Of Mind (Low Price Reissue)
Playmate Of The Year (Low Price Reissue)
MFZB (Low Price Reissue)
Broadcast To The World
Broadcast To The World: The F*#king DVD
Waste Of MFZB

As with Be@rbricks, Porter produce their items in limited quantities which are never re-released therefore it is already expected that these bags will become a collector's item very quickly. Unfortunately this campaign is only available to Japanese residents, as Sony's store does not accept international orders! So anyone desperately wanting a bag had better hope for another way of obtaining one! Any additional follow up news on the bag will be posted here on PFH, so stay tuned!

Zebrahead Be@rbrick Up Close!

Although seen from a distance already thanks to the offices at Sony Music Japan, a picture of the much talked about Zebrahead Be@rbrick has made its way online!

As previously mentioned the bear is limited to a total of 3000 units and is exclusively available with Zebrahead's limited edition of their new album "Phoenix" (limited edition is strictly limited to 3000 copies). The bears, along with the limited edition albums, were sold at a first come first served basis via numerous Japanese online stores where consumers could pre-order the album for 4200 Yen (roughly double the price of a standard CD). Other known details are that the bear stands 70mm tall and has an official Be@rbrick Number of "000ZH". Check out more pictures below!


Here's hoping for a "hands on" article with the bear sometime in the future! Big thanks to Dale at MFZB.com for finding these pictures!

"The supposedly unenviable opening slot on the Tuborg is lapped up by Zebrahead (KKK) who make the best of a still-filling fetival by bouncing out 30 minutes of pop-punk giddiness, rap dude Ali Tabatabaee sprinting stage left to right and working a willing crowd well."

Big thanks to Scott from MFZB.com for typing this out for us! May have a scan featuring a picture of Ali for you later on!

O.C. Life

The Japan release of The Offspring's newest cd "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace" has a bonus track which Zebrahead already did! O.C. Life! So go to eBay and order the Japan version of this cd!

It was on the Orange County soundtrack back in 2002. Another Offspring song was on that soundtrack but that's besides the point. The Zebrahead song wasn't even really on the cd, it was on some bonus cd that came with the soundtrack. Download is below. What are your thoughts on the cover?

Zebrahead At Greenfields Festival

A video showing Zebrahead playing "Karma Flavored Whisky" at Greenfields Festival in Switzerland (14th June) has been posted to YouTube! While not the best quality, it is a pretty sweet video in the way it gives you the scale of the the stage, plus it's always nice to see the guys performing with their Zebrahead banner in the background! Check it out below!

"Making a record is kinda like having sex with a woman..."

Alternative Vision recently posted a short segment promoting the forthcoming album "Phoenix" and Zebrahead's future touring plans. You can check it out below:

"Hailing from Orange County, CA. zebrahead -- Ali Tabatabaee – vocals, Greg Bergdorf – guitar, Matty Lewis – vocals & guitar, Ben Osmundson – bass and Ed Udhus – drums are once again gearing up to make their presence felt with the group's highly-anticipated new album with tracks produced by Howard Benson (Daughtry, Saosin, POD Adema) And Cameron Webb (Social Distortion, Motorhead, Papa Roach) CD to hit the street and Internet this summer on German independent label Steamhammer/SPV in Europe and the UK.

Excited about their second release for SPV, the band is revitalized, road-ready and eager to get the party started. The quintet comes out kicking, delivering a flurry of pummeling rhythms, clench-fisted chords and meaty hooks that we have come to expect from Zebrahead. "I really can't wait to get out there and play these songs all over the world", says bassist Ben.

Singer/guitarist Matty Lewis on making the new album: "Making a record is kinda like having sex with a woman...sometimes things come easy and naturally, and everything about it goes smooth...but sometimes the phone rings, her mom calls or God forbid, her dad comes home. Sometimes, you finish too early and you don't put enough time into it, and sometimes you do it too long and the song chaffs and hurts a bit. Like a woman, every record is different, but in the end, you're still having sex with a woman and you still make a record."

In addition to the new CD the band is already slated to play Japan’s Summersonic Festival, UK's Download Festival and Switzerland’s Greenfield Festival with a full tour of the States to start in the fall of 2008. "We're going to go to the U.K. and drink their beer. Then, we're going to Japan to drink their beer." says guitarist Greg Bergdorf.

Zebraheads new CD is the successor to the bands first SPV release "Broadcast to the World", the follow-up to Zebrahead's critically acclaimed third release, MFZB. MFZB had the highest testing alternative radio song for months running with “Rescue Me”. MFZB also went gold in Japan! Playmate of the Year, released in 2000 to rave reviews, the album's infectious title track received over 4000 spins on Modern Rock and Rock radio, garnering airplay on some of the world's biggest alternative stations."

Peterborough Soundcheck Videos! (New Song!)

For most of the UK tour Zebrahead have been soundchecking the first track from their forthcoming album Phoenix ("HMP") but as of yet, have never actually played it live to a crowd. After hearing the song one soundcheck and thinking how awesome it was, I had made it my personal mission to get a decent video recording of it at some point for you guys! Peterborough turned out to be the perfect place to video the song, so armed with a trusty DV videocamera I recorded Zebrahead's entire soundcheck!

The soundcheck has been split into four parts and consists of three whole songs, which just so happen to all be from Phoenix! Check them out below!

Part 1 - General Messing Around:


Part 2 - "HMP"


Part 3 - "Just The Tip"


Part 4 - "Mental Health"


Enjoy!

INROCK Goes Behind The Scenes Of "Mental Health"

The forthcoming issue of Japanese INROCK Magazine (which will also feature Matty's second monthly column) has a double page spread with a glimpse of the behind the scenes action of Zebrahead's new music video for "Mental Health", filming of which took place just days before flying out to the UK.

Thanks to Mark from MFZB.com for bringing this to my attention!

Underworld Camden Review!

AmpedReviews has recently put up a review of last Tuesday's Zebrahead gig that took place at The Underworld in Camden with Army of Freshmen, Sherwood and Go:Audio. You can read it out below:

"Zebrahead - The Underworld, Camden - 10th June 2008
Support: Go:Audio, Sherwood, Army of Freshmen

Setlist:
Rescue Me
Postcards from Hell
Here’s to You
Rated ‘U’ for Ugly
Jag Off
Just the Tip
Back to Normal
Into You
Falling Apart
Mental Health
Hello Tomorrow
Karma Flavoured Rum
Anthem

Zebrahead are by no means cutting edge or fresh on the scene but harking back to the pop punk movement of years past this band are a joy to see live; I got to remember how and why I love music and to my younger years of first times in the mosh pits, learning about rock and punk and realising that music didn’t start and stop with boy bands (thank god!). Special mention have to go to the warm up acts as they all held the stage with confidence and connected with the crowd with a genuine excitement for being there and playing. Go: Audio were first on the bill and I can confidently say are one to watch and sparkled in the stage lights, Sherwood admittedly were slightly slower in engaging the audience but were by no means dull and Army of Freshman’s infectious gleaming smiles made you want to dance, mosh and jump even if you didn’t know the words to any song they played.

Zebrahead came on stage to a roaring reception, many of whom had seen them already on this current tour and a majority of whom would be seeing them on the weekend at the Download festival. They bantered with the audience, made friends with the crowd surfers and even joined in a few times. Kicking off with ‘Rescue Me’ they geared up the night with a mix of classic tracks and forthcoming new songs from their soon to be released album ‘Phoenix’. The band have a clear love for what they do, willingness to play with humour and have a laugh and tonight was ‘like playing for a bunch of friends’ in a basement rather than in the intimate venue. The room made a family of the fans and even when the band got the whole venue to sit/perch on the floor and jump to the beat everyone continued to have fun and smile in the soaring heat and sweat.

The boys are great at what they do and though the pop punk movement has come and sadly gone leaving a path for new breeds of music it has not gone for good as proven from the success of this show and for me brought back happy reminders of why this genre of catchy and upbeat punk is shamelessly fun and heart warming.

It's Not New News But Newish To Me!

I've had the Banzai Mother Fucker DVD for years, but I've never seen it because I don't have a region free DVD player, but I put it in my computer and it's letting me change my region a few times. So that being said I ripped it and got the music video off of it at a nice DVD quality rip. I also have the Japanese Tour Diary if anyone wants that.

Banzai Mother Fucker Music Videos

Next the BTTW videos at DVD quality! I do hope I'm not completely wasting my time.

Phoenix Full Tracklisting Details!

Zebrahead's Official MySpace Profile has not only just unveiled the new cover art for the album (see previous post), but has now also revealed all 18 tracks that will make up your favourite album of the summer.

Full tracklisting is as follows:

1. HMP
2. Hell Yeah!
3. Just The Tip
4. Mental Health
5. The Juggernauts
6. Death By Disco
7. Be Careful What You Wish For

11. The Junkie And The Halo
12. Brixton
13. Hit The Ground
14. Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right, But Three Rights Make A Left
15. All For None And None For All
16. Sorry, But Your Friends Are Hot

Japan Bonus Songs
17. The Art Of Breaking Up
18. We're Not A Cover Band, We're A Tribute Band

Excited yet? Also a added note that appears with the tracklisting update states:

"USA and UK Bonus Track Announcement Coming Soon!!!!!..Yes more songs....",

Chances are this is refering to the "Not The New Album EP" tracklisting which PFH has already revealed, in which case we may be getting a release date for this EP very soon. It was previously believed that the "Not The New Album EP" would be released for USA only via ICON Mes. If this is still the case then the new announcement may indeed be referring to as of yet unknown news regarding a new UK/USA bonus track! Furthermore it is important to note that the word "track" is singular and therefore may suggest this is an extra track that is not on the mini EP, or the Japanese version of the album!

Exciting times! Stay tuned for plenty more news!

Cover Art Revealed

Yes that's right you can now gaze apon the newly released album art to "Phoenix"!

Zebrahead Live On UK Radio!

It would appear that Sony Japan's Official Online Shop recently (and rather discreetly) added a limited edition version of Zebrahead's new album "Phoenix" to its webstore, which has since managed to sell out, suggesting it was VERY limited in numbers.

So what exactly is this? Retailing at almost double the price of a standard CD in Japan (4,200 Yen) this special edition contains the new album as well as a one of a kind Zebrahead Be@rbrick toy. For anyone not familiar with Be@rbrick, this Wikipedia definition should make things clear:

"Be@rbrick is a collectible toy designed and produced by MediCom Toy Incorporated. The name is derived from the fact that the figure is a cartoon-style representation of a bear, and that it is a variation of MediCom's Kubrick design. The at sign in the place of the letter a is a visual device that is a part of the Be@rbrick brand, and as such, a trademark of MediCom Toy."

In the past special Be@rbricks have been produced for other bands, the Queen Be@rbrick to the right is a perfect example. There's currently no word on what the Zebrahead bear will look like, chances are it will either be plain with a Zebrahead logo present, may be made to look like a Zebra bear, or perhaps have a Phoenix theme. If pictures come to light soon expect to see them on PFH!

Once again, this set seems to have been very limited in numbers (we are probably talking around 1000 or so) and these toys are highly collectable in Japan, so you might get lucky and see one crop up on eBay in the future... but don't hold your breath!

Expect more details on exactly what this set looks like in the future!

UPDATE: New details (that was quick) reveal this limited edition set contains 2CDs. Again details are unknown but it would be my best guess that the 2nd CD is actually the "Broadcast To The World: The F*#king DVD" which goes on sale in Japan on the same day! Making this quite a nice little boxset for a Zebrahead fan!

Gut Rot Live UK Video

Big thanks go out to Neil who captured this last night in Cardiff. Here we have the very first live performance of the song "Gut Rot" (most likely still the working title). Check it out below!

Videos From Ireland

A very cool guy who goes by the name of Graham Butler, has uploaded three awesome videos from Zebrahead's show at Whelans in Dublin last Saturday. I'd highly recommend checking out the performances as the picture and video quality is superb! He even managed to get a nice recording of "Mental Health" which gives us a great idea how the studio version will sound. Check out the videos below!
