REPO! The Genetic Opera opens in select theaters November 7th. On November 10th Repo takes to the road in a rapid cross country tour - check out www.reporoadtour.com for city listings and dates. The film is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (SAW franchise, REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA stage play). Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich, co-creators of the original New York and Los Angeles stage production, wrote the film's screenplay, music and lyrics. Smith composed, arranged, and performed the film’s score. Zdunich acts in the film. With more than 90 minutes of music and over 57 songs, REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA is reputed to have the most original music of any movie in film history! REPO – The Genetic Rock Opera - future rock opera cult- horror musical phenom whose cast and crew reclaim midnight. ….. Move over Richard O’ Brien (Rocky Horror)! Move over Jonathan Larson(Rent)! Move over Baz Lurhmann (Moulin Rouge, Romeo+Juliet)! REPO! The Genetic Opera is here to take over! Getting inside minds and satiating hunger that have been waiting since the releases of Rocky Horror and Tommy … REPO! The Genetic Opera is here to reclaim midnight! “The music is the movie. It defined everything. I would put the music on my ipod and walk around and let it decide the shots - the look of the entire movie. Music is a powerful thing, the most powerful thing. Each of the songs in REPO is so different. One second it's Goth rock, the next it's flat out opera. So making the film stylized was a must. I wanted each song to have its own feel visually. Repo is something people haven't seen before, it’s not a movie... It's an event...” DARREN LYNN BOUSMAN, Director “Choosing the players for the REPO! music was a lot like casting. Hours and hours of just listening and making notes about styles and ideas, then refining that into a wish list of who-to-play-on-what. With the massive volume of music involved here, there was a wide assortment of stylistic approaches that were all valid, just different from track to track - there's no one genre 'REPO!' music falls into, but the signature became a spirit that runs through it all... basically an allowance to use anything, to record anything, from world class opera singers to vintage electronics and found instruments.” JOE BISHARA, Music Producer REPO! The Genetic Opera -the film: It’s the not-so-distant future. Organ failure is rampant, and the company responsible for the transplants isn't acting out of altruism. If someone misses a payment, Repo Men come to reclaim what belongs to the company. For his horror-infused movie opera, Bousman assembles a varied cast: SPY KIDS' Alexa Vega, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER's Anthony Stewart Head, horror legend Bill Moseley, Paris Hilton, Paul Sorvino, and singer Sarah Brightman. For the film, all of the actors perform their own songs! This genre-bending 21st century opera features Nine Inch Nails-type industrial rock, Italian and German opera, girl-punk, Tom Waits-inspired cabaret, hip hop-flavored electronica, Asian pop, ballads, jazz, an absurdist techno Renaissance troubadour tune, as well as elements from more traditional musicals. Famed Japanese musician and composer Yoshiki from the legendary rock band X-Japan produced the music together with Joe Bishara. REPO!

    Civet - New Album on Hellcat

    CIVET RELEASE NEW ALBUM ON HELLCAT RECORDS
    
    The Punkettes of Civet Lay Claim to the Title of “Queens of Noise” with their Rocking New Album Hell Hath No Fury
    
    The ferocious hellions of Civet are set to unleash their Hellcat Records debut album entitled Hell Hath No Fury on 09/09/08. Hailing from the notorious punk stronghold of Orange County California, it’s obvious these brash young ladies have learned from their heroes, who, by the sound of it, are Joan Jett’s legendary Runaways and a whole bunch of power-chord wielding, blow your hair back classic punk rock bands from GBH to The Misfits and Motorhead.
    
    "This album is definitely our fiercest to date,” the band proclaims. “It’s balls out, unapologetic femme-fatale punk rock and roll which is the music we love."
    
    And the music Civet loves sounds like four ultra confident, delinquent sex bombs playing some of the loudest and fastest songs you’ve ever heard. Hell Hath No Fury is the perfect soundtrack to a night of unadulterated chaos, a careening joyride through a landscape of pool halls, girl-fights, pissed off lovers, and riotous all night punk shows.
    
    Hellcat let the ladies loose in a recording studio with producer Julian Raymond and the result gives Civet’s raucous sound an added thickness and power without losing any of their primal street punk passion. Standout songs such as Son of a Bitch with it’s nasty surf guitar hook and anthem-like chorus and the memorable old-school punk pop of All I Want co-written with Rancid front-man Tim Armstrong
    
    "Working on this record was awesome,” the band says. “We pulled together all our different influences and laid down some real heartbreak songs with a couple of FTW ones thrown in for good measure. And we got to co write with Tim Armstrong which was amazing. This record really inspires us and we’re confident it will do the same for our fans - both new and old!"
