Tribe Revival earlier this week posted an interview with Harry Duffin. Check it out here (if you haven’t done so already!).
Unfortunately he was unable to go into detail with all the questions put forward to him, mainly the ones concerning The Blood Of Judas, The Tribe 6 and a Tribe Movie. But he did however give an insight into the casting side of things as well as talk about the ‘yin and yang’ of The Tribe – Amber and Ebony.
Also if you missed it earlier on in the year, check out the 10 years anniversary interview with Harry Duffin here on tribeHeaven.
Hello, just a quick post. As you can see the cast site has had a bit of a makeover, there’s still a few problems sorting out the links at the top bar and also the contact form, but it seems okay so far. I think it might be easier to read with the black text on the white background, however it is a bit sterile looking. It needs tribalising!!!
This site is as much mine as it is yours. So please give your opinions on the new look! What do you like, what don’t you like? It will be helpful thanks.
Onto the prize winners…
Power And Chaos. The winner of the Power and Chaos book was… *drumroll* Muneera J from Israel, congrats to you! If you didn’t win I’m sorry, the winner was picked at random, but stay tuned for more competitions!
P-Money. The winners have also been announced for the P-Money CD’s, they are: Samantha J L – UK, Tomas E – France and Petra H J – Sweden. I’ve been told you’re prizes are on their way.
Do you want to win more Tribe gear? There’s a raffle draw running on the Sector 4/Fractured Alliance website, so do check that out also. You’re donations also go to the good cause of keeping the dream alive through this fan project!
A little bit more… I have an email address! clare@tribeheaven.co.uk First two people to email me with the message “I Want A Tribe CD!” will receive a You Belong To Me Tribe CD. I’m sure the address is working. Try it out! Congrats to Benji and Ross P who won the CD’s : )
And wasn’t it great seeing The Tribe back on Five on Sunday?
It’s like being reunited with an old friend you haven’t seen for a long, long, long time. It’s time to re-live those early mornings of watching Cloe clutching her teddy bear as she trembles in fear of the fast approaching Loco’s before Amber and Dal swoop in to rescue her…
Sunday October 4th 2009 will see The Tribe return to it’s home on UK TV broadcaster Five. Episode one of series one will be broadcast, running from 11.35am to 12.05pm.
Aswell as The Tribe the Shake! teen-strand is going to be re-introduced, with a line-up including Disney show Hannah Montana. However, according to this article on Broadcast Now, the schedule will be a trial run through to the end of the year, so if it is not successful the shows may not finish broadcasting. But, thank you channel Five regardless, hopefully new fans will join the series and it will hopefully re-ignite The Tribe franchise.
So wether you’re nursing a Saturday night hangover, bored, need a brief trip back in time, or even if you’re a Power Ranger fan, do tune in to The Tribe! Featuring hot New Zealand talent in some of their first mainstream TV roles; including Beth Allen, Dwayne Cameron, Antonia Prebble, Meryl Cassie, Ari Boyland, Michelle Ang and Caleb Ross.
Get everyone viewing! With thanks to TribeRevival for the info! Do join in and check out the discussions over there too.
Right, I’m off to get some pink hairdye, this is an occassion fo sho!
[edit] Tribeworld has been updated with the news!
On Sunday 25th June 2000 Cloud 9 opened their doors to the public for a dual Open Day and Tribal Gathering, inviting people to get a glimpse into the television industry, meet stars of their shows and also win an on-screen part in The Tribe. The day was promoted with Burger King New Zealand, who as a tie-in for the Tribal Gathering displayed promotional posters (as pictured) and Tribe placemats in Burger King restaurants.
You might recognise the pictures – they were previously on the website GAKYA (Gummidge’s Aussie and Kiwi Young Actors ), which has been closed for a long time. The pics were rescued from their archives, they were originally supplied by ‘Lorraine’ (I’m trying to track her down!) some of her pics are also featured on the Kieren Hutchinson website. The video below was shot by Tribeworld/Cloud 9 at the event…
Though it’s 9 years since the event (not 10!), I thought I’d put it up as it was an interesting event held by Cloud 9, during one of the busiest years for The Tribe. Prior to the event Dwayne Cameron (Bray), Caleb Ross (Lex), Michelle Ang (Tai-San) and Meryl Cassie (Ebony) were on a promotional tour in England/Europe and returned to New Zealand on the 24th June, ready for the Tribal Gathering/Open Day for the following day, the cast had finished recording the album and were preparing for the filming of series 3 the following month!
According to Cloud 9 over 20,000 people attended the event, without a doubt making it a success. Continue reading…
 The Harry Duffin interview is now up! You can read it here. Before Harry Duffin began working on The Tribe, he wrote for well known TV British series such as Eastenders and The Bill… In 1994 he became a founder member of Cloud 9 with Raymond Thompson and worked on their series aimed at children/teens… In 1997 Cloud 9 began work on what would be their most successful series to date, The Tribe.
 In the interview Harry talks about the storylines, the issues dealt with in the series and the (hopefully) soon to be released The Tribe book Blood Of Judas. You can check the interview out here. You can read the German translation of the interview at Tribe-Cast.com, here. Unfortunately not all my questions got answered as I had more questions on The New Tomorrow… But hey, the interview is interesting non the less!
Harry Duffin currently resides in Spain. You can visit his website and find out more about him and his career to date here.
 Ella Wilks arrived in The Tribe series 2 as Danni. Her first moments in the series involved holding a crossbow and aiming it at our hero Bray. She integrated herself herself into the Mallrats though, but her presence was under scrutiny by her fellow Tribe members – in the same way the character was scrutinised by fans as being too ‘Amber-like’…
 In the interview Ella talks about getting into the character of Danni, working on and leaving the show, her friendship with fellow cast members as well as an insight to her travels and future plans. You may have loved hating Danni, but you gotta love Ella Wilks; to me this is the best interview so far – probably my biased opinion as I’ve always been a Danni fan ; )
Read the interview yourself, click here to check it out. The German translation of the interview can be found here. Thank you to those of you who submitted questions to Ella via this site and by e-mail, they were brilliant!
Well it is the ten year anniversary for The Tribe, so I thought I’d post these pics of a Tribe cake (made to order) by Joseph – a fan of the show. It sure does look tasty! The graphic used on the cake can be found here – it’s an old wallpaper I made for The Tribe. I feel hungry all of a sudden…
 Following the opening of her play She Stoops To Conquer, a lengthy article about Antonia Prebble (who played The Tribe’s Trudy) has appeared in the New Zealand Herald. The article details her acting career to date. It features quotes from former teachers, casting directors and the lady herself.
There is a tribal mention in there too… Continue reading…
Okay so I was watching BBC Three’s Snog, Marry, Avoid? as I do, because I love it! It’s hilarious. Anyhows, who crops up infront of the P.O.D (Personal Overhaul Device), it’s Ebony! Check the video out below…
