Making Music - Goodshirt

Short Film (Full Length) – 2005

Rodney Fisher and Gareth Thomas from Auckland band Goodshirt preach a DIY message, in this episode from a series directed at secondary school music students. In the backyard of the house where they made their debut album, they perform stripped back versions of 'Slippy' (inspired by a Grey Lynn bus ride) and 'Blowing Dirt'. There's also a guided tour of the back shed where they built a recording studio with accessibly priced equipment that was good enough to produce a chart topping single in 'Sophie' — and stop them going into debt to a record company. 

It’s a high school song which I was too shy to play to anyone for about 10 years. So the moral of that story is don’t be shy.
– Gareth Thomas on his chart topping Goodshirt hit ‘Sophie’
