BFM Border Radio Bernie Griffen Crowdfunding for Music Video

The creator of the legendary Sunday night Border Radio show on 95bFM, Bernie Griffen, is running a crowdfunding campaign to produce a music video for his band Bernie Griffen and the Thin Men and his song Burial Ground.

With 20-30 thousand global podcast downloads of his 95bFM show each week he has wide diversity of fans interested in him and his music from all over the world.

Griffen is an independent New Zealand musician who has created a dedicated following through his music and his bands The Grifters and The Thin Men, and in his own words “is no spring chicken and has no time to lose' in fulfilling his vision of performing overseas and connecting with fans beyond New Zealand.

“I believe that the older and wiser I become, the better my music becomes and I will be grateful for all the help I can get.”

This crowdfunding campaign will assist Griffen with much needed promotional material to book shows for his 2016 Australia and Europe tour.

Griffen is working with Boosted for the campaign, with an all-or-nothing target of $6,000 to produce a high quality music video unique to his song Burial Ground. With less than one week to go, Griffen is over halfway to reaching the target.

Burial Ground is a song with deeply personal roots, reminding us of what it feels like to be used and abused. It’s a story about revenge, mortality and rebirth - themes that have inspired a unique concept. The vision for the music video references a dust bowl, southern gothic aesthetic, featuring dramatic New Zealand landscapes. Audiences will follow the story of a drifter dragging a coffin across the Hauraki Plains, towards a brutal conclusion of fate.

Howl Creative is a small independent production company in Auckland who have teamed up with Griffen to produce the music video in February 2016.
