They are currently managed and booked by Adam Jankie and Matt Gudinski, co-founders of Melbourne record label Illusive Sounds.

A stuntman died during the filming of a music video in a Brisbane pub, according to a coroner, because the armorer provided an illegal weapon and ammo.

Who Was Armourer Warren Ritchie?

Armourer Warren Ritchie was the gun supplier for the Bliss n Eso music video shoot.

Warren Ritchie Wikipedia Explored

Warren Ritchie does not have a Wikipedia page on the official website. However, he is featured in many articles across internet portals.

Ritchie was well-recognized in the industry, but he was gravely ill at the time of the shoot and depended on narcotic drugs. The coroner determined his illness may have influenced his decision.

Adam Corless, a guns dealer who was self-taught in reloading ammunition, provided the shotgun cartridges to Ritchie.

Ritchie told Corless shortly before his death that he had previously used six of his cartridges on a separate minor production and that ‘nothing had happened.’
