The New Years Has Arrived!
24 Jan 2010
2010 is here, now it's starting to get kinda "sci-fi-ish", like before we know it 2020 will be here and then it sounds like we should expect to see spaceships n stuff floating overhead..
But instead we'll come back down to Jan 2010, which is bringing us at Agzilla.com good news, interesting opportunities and hopefully some long running projects soon to be resolved.,,
We've just had conformation of the inclusion of a very special musician to us on the forthcoming and long awaited Concrete Roots Project, plus possible final new featured artist on the last track to be recorded for the project.
The Lazarus album "Come Forth" is also finally nearing completion, the project has been through it's changes but it'll stronger for it, we feel a lotta people are going to like this one, gonna be interesting, worth the wait!
We should also (hopefully) soon be announcing our allegiance with a certain high profile Games Console Game Publisher, details have to be kept hush hush for now, but we cannot wait to be involved and getting busy on that, should be real fun, always been a personal dream to be involved in that area, not suprising since i played Defender as a kid, and also currently owning a geniune 1979 stand up arcade machine of Asteroids in Black & White by Atari... Watch this space..
Lastly, bigs up to Roberto Borzoni, FC Harmony, and all our regulars and supporters.. we are considering adding a blog to this site, because the news is just becoming one anyway.. would it be a good idea? email and let us know?
Until next time up.... Peace.

Once Again It's On.... Live In HD!
21 Aug 2009
As the year moves on, it gives us great pleasure say things are progressing nicely, there's some spectacular possibilities waiting in the wings to be announced very shortly we hope..
In the meantime, SkySports came to us at very short notice via Alex Black at Cavendish Music (Big Up!) with a brief for a rugged urban/rap statement of intent, skill, power and determination for a promo for coverage of Andy Murray at the US Open, the question being whether Mr Murray can project himself to world Number One... Does he have what it takes to go all the way?
It was a good job to do, with no stress or delays, very smooth, no faults... it has just been added to the clients/videos section where you can check it out for yourself.
Enjoy.
Advantage Agzilla... (we love saying that!)
Until the next serve.. Out.

Agzilla Represents On New Nokia N81 Music Phone!
07 Apr 2008
Just to let all and anyone know, and to express our gratitude to those good folks over at Universal Publishing Production Music.
We are proud to announce that the track 'Spitfire' written by Alan Gold & Yorke Eghan as part of the Hip Hop chronicles and featured on the UPPM Hip Hop Pop Crossover CD has been featured as one of the tunes that comes preloaded with the new Nokia N81 music phone.
I have personally walked into a Vodaphone store and had the assistant take a new phone out of the box, power it up and play me our song! It was a very satisfying feeling despite the guy thinking i was somewhat crazy.....
So to all at Universal who gave us this opportunity and allowed it to happen.
We thank you.
Alan Gold (Agzilla) & Yorke Eghan (Lazarus)

Check out the latest addition to the videos below, The British Heart Foundation campaign for junk food awareness and anti obesity in our children.
The Sick Rick campaign takes a revolting look at how it is made and what exactly goes into the food that is consumed by the nations kids everyday. There are actually a total of six short spots to this campaign, all requiring a slightly different edits and different movements based around our Slick Rick theme.
This was a cool project to be involved with and fun to do, special thanks go out to Archie and Tim at Domestic Science and Razorfish respectively for bringing Agzilla on board to compose.
All the usual thanx go out as ever to those who actually support and help us along the way as the evolution continues... onward and ever upward.
