I didn’t mention it in the title because I didn’t want to scare you off.

The video above, ‘BBQ SESSIONS Volume One’, is the first in a new series from filmmaker Mikey Mallieoriunewijrvkaldjfieu* and it’s made up of a bunch of B-side clips. Scraps. The unwanted. Offal.

When anyone mentions B-sides and I’m normally yawning myself to snu snu land before the second S sound has snuck out their mouth, anyone but Mikey Mallirieieieieisiseisieu* that is.

Mikey Malliieiuhrieuwrnkjdsngieu* shoots with Shaun Manners, Taj Burrow, Noa Deane & Creed McTaggart so you know even at a rating of B the surfing’s still sirloin. Plus he’s a master of taste that Mikey Mallliieieiiksunfvaidbfvajdhbfieu* so you can sit back, relax and trust his pace, grade and the selects ain’t going to be sausages.

This first episode of BBQ Sessions features the unused clips from the West Oz sessions of Noa Deane’s ‘Head Noise’ released in 2018. Enjoy starring into the eye of aged but tasty North Point and Box.

*If you’re wondering why I’m spelling Mikey Malliueudkjfbsdjfhootchirmummaieu’s name slightly different each time it’s because his name is impossible to spell. Barely even googleable. It would ruin any kid at a Spelling B competition. Any time I have to spell Mikey’s name I’ve just resorted to mashing the keyboard like I’m Stevie Wonder** the first time he ever attempted piano and what comes out ends up closer to the correct spelling than if I’d of tried. Plus Mikey Mallietkjsdgkjiue is from New Zealand so you know he’s too mellow to care.

**If you’re feeling bad for Stevie Wonder after that cheap joke please remember he’s a billionaire that doesn’t need your pity and plus, he isn’t even blind. Everyone knows it and it’s about time we all stopped playing along. Even his best mates have given up on the charade.
