| Although
the TAAU message
board is an excellent source for news and events, we wanted
to do more, and so in the tradition of all the big US-based
news sites out there, we have assembled a team of reporters
to constantly update this section each and every day for you.
As there are already a number of excellent international news
sites out there, we have decided to dedicate this section to
Australian-specific information only, all of which we receive
direct from our contacts at Hasbro, Madman, Atari and, of course,
the hundreds of TAAU members out there who visit the site each
and every day to report their findings, so if you want to keep
up-to-date with local news and events, this is the place to
be! |

MEATBEE'S NEW TRANSFORMERS COVER SONG
I'm not sure how many of you remember this, but a few years ago a local Canberra band called 'Meatbee' released a chilled out version of the Transformers theme song (which you can still find at Meatbee.com right here).
Shortly after they released it I conducted an interview with them for the old TAAU Newsletter (which you can read here), and lo-and-behold, they got back in touch with me today with some news!
"Hi Stephen,
Not sure if you remember us, but you interviewed us a few years back after we released an acoustic version of the Transformers theme.
Ever since then we have been trying to find those making the recently released movie in a bid to get our song on there.
About six months ago we finally got the song to the soundtrack supervisor of the movie who liked it so much they had us re-record it in a more hard rock fashion. They loved it and were going to use it, but at the last minute Warners in the US took over the soundtrack and we got ditched!
Anyway, we are releasing it anyway, and would really appreciate it if you could put the word out for us to your members.
The video of the song is here.
Let me know what you think!
Ben"
So please guys, take a look and let them know what you think. Personally I think it looks and sounds awesome, plus I think there might even be a tribute to 'Chip' in there as well, so might have to ask them about that! :D
