Watch The Chills' long lost 1982 video for "Rolling Moon"

Watch the 1982 promo clip for The Chills' "Rolling Moon" recently unearthed by Peter Janes while working on The Chills documentary. 

Here's the scoop...
Emerging from The Chills archive – thirty-eight years after it's recording! – comes an unreleased early promo video for their first 7" 'Rolling Moon'. Recorded at Pilots Bay in Dunedin, New Zealand back in 1982, video director Peter Janes unearthed the video when sourcing material for their recent documentary film The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps.

"Something special for all you Chills fans as legendary New Zealand cameraman/director Peter Janes has used lockdown time to edit together the long-lost 'Rolling Moon' footage into a clip. The result of the 1982 shoot at Pilots Bay, Dunedin were originally deemed largely too dark for use and then the film was lost for over three decades and only recently discovered in time for a tiny piece of it to be included in the documentary 'The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps'. But now we finally have a promo clip for our first 7" single from 1982. Drummer Martyn Bull was too sick on the day to come out to where we filmed the clip so we had to go ahead without him. It's such a shame. Enjoy!" - Martin Phillipps

"I’m sorry it took so long, it’s amazing it surfaced at all. The footage has been in various, attics, stables, and garages for almost forty years. I really must speed up my post production efforts. Sorry Martin. I shot these clips for the joy if it really" - Peter Janes

Check out the video for "Rolling Moon" below followed by the trailer for the documentary "The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy of Martin Phillipps" which will hopefully make it to a theatre in Toronto some day in the future.
