Frenz Auction Round 3 Launches November 20th

2008-11-18T14:38:36-07:00

Our bi-annual Frenz.com auction has been running throughout the month of November and our third and final wave of items for sale will launch on Thursday, November 20th.

We had initially planned to just do two weeks, starting on November 1st, but we got a number of last minute item donations and so we've decided to do a third round with those items. The first two rounds, starting on November 1st and 6th were very successful, and extremely well supported, so thank you!

While the proceeds haven't quite touched the forum hosting cost yet (About $1500/yr), we are planning to use a large amount of the proceeds towards redevolopment of the site in general.

Why An Auction?

Frenz.com is entirely volunteer run. With the exception of the unwavering support of the Frenz of The Enz fanclub, who have donated many of the items for this year's item, we are not funded or supported in any way by record companies or management. We occasionally get some moral support from the musicians themselves, but for the most part it is a labour of love from fans to the fans.

While the main Frenz.com site itself has been static for some time (but not for long), even though all the work is done for free by fans, the site still incurs fixed running and hosting costs every month. These costs are kindly and happily covered out of pocket by the site's founder, Debbie. We held a very successful auction in 2006, the proceeds of which we put to work. These covered the following:

The initial costs to the development team of building the Crowded House site
Hiring a programmer to rescue the old discography database and bring it back to basic working order
About one month of hosting :)

This time we're aiming higher. The proceeds of this year's auction will be spent on the following:

Completely overhauling the entire Frenz.com site. Tearing down the old, and building the new. It's old and patchwork, and needs more than a lick of paint.
Largely expanding the scope of the discography, and improving on the existing structure.
Implementing as many of the ideas mentioned on the Frenzforum over the last year that we have time and budget for.

As always, a lot of the work will happily be done bye the Frenz.com team for free. We do however have to hire a little outside help, and cover some costs to take the site where you deserve it to be.

We are accepting ideas and input from fans as to what you guys want to see on the site. We're also still looking for PHP programmers to help out too! Email Iarla.

A big thank you as always to Peter Green for the support, and also the following fans who have already donated items to this year's auction.

Perri Campbell
Jennifer Granozio
Marie Lombardi

Neil Finn Reconvenes "Seven Worlds Collide" supergroup for album and shows.

2008-11-18T14:18:01-07:00

From the Finn Office:

Over Christmas 2008 and New Year 2009, Neil Finn has invited the core band from his 2001 Seven Worlds Collide project, plus some other special guests, to create a new album at Roundhead studios in Auckland, New Zealand.

All proceeds from this very special recording will go to support the continuing great work of Oxfam International.

And look out - if you think this is just going to happen behind closed doors, you're mistaken - Neil plans to share this unique event with music fans in New Zealand by presenting a short series of intimate and informal live performances at the nearby venue.

It's come to our attention at Frenz.com that Eddie Rayner, composer, keyboard player and arranger with Split Enz, producer, musical director, piano man for hire with Crowded House, and Paul McCartney amongst others, has launched a brand new website at eddierayner.com.

The site has a feast of goodies for the eyes and ears, and we highly recommend checking it out!

Any readers unfamiliar with Eddie's playing could do worse than to check out the live recording of "Bold As Brass", performed by Split Enz at the Nambassa Festival in 1979, which appears on the MySpace site for the soundtrack record here. It's a performance described by Eddie himself as one of his best.

Crowded House North American Tour Date and Presale Updates, Updates from the Split Enz NZ Tour

2008-04-03T05:41:27-07:00

As previously mentioned over on the Crowded House site @ Frenz.com (http://www.frenz.com/crowdedhouse/), the band have announced a small North American tour, where they will be playing residencies at some of their favourite intimate venues rather than sticking to the larger capacity places. The band are currently in the midst of recording the follow up to last year's critically acclaimed album "Time On Earth", and have decided to roadtest some of the new material before finishing the record. Our sources tell us to expect very varied setlists with hopefully some new and rarer material sitting along side the songs we all know and love.

Since the initial announcement, there have been some minor changes to onsale and presale dates, and we recommend you keep your eyes on the tour dates page over at frenz.com/crowdedhouse for further information. The band have also announced a second Russian date this coming June, and will be adding a show in Club Port in St. Petersburg on June 25th to their schedule along with the previously announced date in the B-1 Maximum Club in Moscow on June 24th.

Frenz of The Enz Charity Fundraiser Update

2008-03-04T22:48:11-07:00

This is just a quick note to remind readers about the Frenz of The Enz Charity Project. This year's project has been running since May of 2007, and the goal is $10,000.

Every few years, the Frenz of The Enz fanclub has a charity project to raise some money so that we can spread a bit more light in the world. This year we've been aiming to build a classroom for one of the poorer countries in the world. It generally costs around $10,000 to do this. Education vastly improves the standard of living for many families and the community in general.

Peter Green and the fanclub (not Frenz.com - we're a seperate entity) are administrating the project, and previous projects have been a great success. We'd like to make this one a big success, and we're very close to reaching our target. As of the 28th of February 2008, we've raised $8741.90. That means we have to raise another $1258.10 - YOU can make it happen!
