The Australian film maker Quito Washington is currently working on his fourth full length movie called "Swing It!".
"Swing it!" is an homage to the rock and roll era of filmmaking of the late 1940s to early 1950s. This movie is about to be released in August 2009.
Director Quito Washington has used portions of our songs "Steppin' Out", "Miss Babelone", "Dance", "Fill Skill" and "Boogie party" for this film. We are very proud that Quito chose our music for his film, and we can't wait until we can see the final version of his work!
The film was shot completely in Melbourne, Australia in High Definition video. Quito finished the actual filming at the end of july this year. See below for a quick impression of the film shoot.

The Phonics had a very great weekend on July 11 and 12!
It started in Peer Belgium at the Belgium Rhythm & Blues Festival. The audience liked our show, it was swing time…. The day after the Phonics played the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam. A lots of people were standing and swinging at the Harlem stage, and for sure, they liked our show very much! See also the press & photo section for an impression of those two days.
The Electrophonics wish to thank both organisations and volunteers, and of course thanks to the audience!
After the summer break, the Phonics will be back: august 29th, (Ge)varenwinkel Blues & Roots Festival in Belgium.
Till then!
