Karmina wants “You for Christmas” with a free song download for the holidays!

Posted on December 24, 2011 by Paul

Courtesy of Angry Mob Music, Karmina wants to give their fans a free download for the holidays, “You for Christmas.” This acoustic gift features the Mark Twain Ringers as well as the songwriting acumen of Kelly and Kamille Rudisill. The sisters have been doin’ it for themselves for quite some time now. From a very young age they have won songwriting competitions in California and learned their craft.

Their first live gigs found them immersed in the San Francisco club scene although they were barely in their teens. “Yes, it was unusual to find 14 and 15 year old girls performing in some of those clubs,” Kelly admits. “Most bands aren’t required to bring their dads with them. However, when you’re that age and playing in front of a bunch of drunk guys, it can be a bit sketchy.” 

Moving to L.A. to get closer to the heart of the music industry, Karmina became a regular fixture on the local music circuit, playing such well-known venues as The Viper Room, the Knitting Factory, and the House of Blues. 

A number of featured television placements and hard work paid off when a copy of the band’s demo found its way to an executive at the newly formed CBS Records.
A five-track EP, “The Kiss,” followed, with the title track reaching #24 on the Billboard chart.

Kamille was approached by Grammy-winning producer David Foster, and was given the opportunity to perform with Josh Groban at numerous high profile entertainment industry events. Foster said, “Kamille is one of those singers only found in rare air. Her voice is magical, thrilling, and, most impressively, mature well beyond her years.“

Karmina’s first album, “Backwards into Beauty,” was released in June 2008 on CBS Records and was the “2008 Billboard Critics Top 10 #1 Pick.” Their latest album, “Car Train Ship Plane,” is being distributed independently by KKR Records, and they have signed with Angry Mob Music for film & TV placement.

Karmina not only references the title of one of their favorite operas, “Carmina Burana,” but it is also the word for “song” in Latin. It’s an apt moniker for a pair of women who take their music seriously, and share the joy of their creative process with their fans this holiday season with a free song to download, “You for Christmas.”

Full trailer for the highly anticipated upcoming film THE HUNGER GAMES

Posted on November 15, 2011 by Paul

LIONSGATE DEBUTS TRAILER FOR THE HUNGER GAMES 

Highly Anticipated Trailer Follows Up Broadcast Debut On Good Morning America With Online Debut On iTunes Movie Trailers

The full trailer for the highly anticipated upcoming film THE HUNGER GAMES, which will be released by Lionsgate on March 23, 2012, debuted today.  Following its national broadcast premiere on ABC’s Good Morning America in which the trailer was introduced by Josh Hutcherson, it was made available worldwide on iTunes Movie Trailers. 

In an attempt to preserve the anticipation and mystery that fans are relishing, the trailer only shows footage from the first half of the film, chronicling events leading up to but not including the Games themselves.  After giving fans their first look at all of the book’s beloved characters brought to life, giving viewers who haven’t read the book vital information about the world of Panem, the trailer ends with an electrifying cliffhanger right as Katniss enters the arena.

About THE HUNGER GAMES

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games.  A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy.  If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

THE HUNGER GAMES is directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 16 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following.  

Lionsgate will release THE HUNGER GAMES on March 23, 2012.

The 3D, CG-animated family comedy Arthur Christmas, an Aardman production for Sony Pictures Animation, at last reveals the incredible, never-before-seen answer to every child’s question: “So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?” The answer: Santa’s exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic – a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero: Santa’s youngest son, Arthur. When this amazing operation misses one child out of hundreds of millions, Arthur, the least capable Claus, embarks on a hilarious, exciting rogue mission against the clock with his politically incorrect grandfather Grandsanta and a giftwrapping-obsessed elf named Bryony, to deliver the last present before Christmas morning dawns. The film is directed by Sarah Smith, written by Peter Baynham & Sarah Smith, and produced by Peter Lord, David Sproxton, Carla Shelley, and Steve Pegram.

Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund – 1st Awards Gala!

Posted on November 3, 2011 by Paul

DIO CANCER FUND HOSTS FIRST AWARDS GALA AT PLAYBOY MANSION IN LOS ANGELES 
 
Funds Raised for Gastric Cancer Research and Education as Seven Distinguished Supporters Receive Awards

The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund hosted its first Awards Gala on Tuesday evening (November 1) at the famed Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles to raise funds for its commitment to cancer prevention, research and education. Founded in memory of Ronnie James Dio, the world-renowned voice of Dio, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Heaven & Hell who died of gastric cancer last year, the Dio Cancer Fund has already raised more than $500,000 in its short history.  
 
Wendy Dio, widow of the late singer and Fund Founder/President, and Gloria Butler, Chairman of the Board of the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, will present the Dio Cancer Fund’s latest pledge to the T. J. Martell Foundation for Cancer, AIDS and Leukemia Research at their annual dinner in New York this week. Additionally, the Fund has committed monies to the gastric cancer research unit of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where Ronnie was treated during the last six months of his life.
 
Awards named after songs written by Ronnie James Dio were presented to honorees in recognition of their support of the Fund’s important work. Eddie Trunk, host of VH1 Classic’s “That Metal Show,” served as Special Guest emcee and, after introducing each honoree, was surprised by Wendy Dio with the final award of the evening, the Long Live Rock ‘N Roll Award.
 
The Killing the Dragon Award went to Danny Zelisko, a cancer survivor and President of Phoenix-based Danny Zelisko Presents concert promotions, who remarked that “not a day goes by that I don’t miss Ronnie.” The King of Rock ‘n Roll Award went to Ronnie James Dio’s longtime bandmate and friend Terry “Geezer” Butler, bassist for Black Sabbath and Heaven & Hell. Mike Carden, a cancer survivor and President, North America, Eagle Rock Entertainment, a leading independent record label which has released several Dio recordings, accepted the Rainbow in the Dark Award, calling Wendy Dio “the hero of this evening.”
 
In accepting the Sacred Heart Award, television medical expert Sandeep (Sandy) Kapoor, M.D., Medical Director/Co-Founder of the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund, spoke poignantly about the need for better ways to screen for cancers and the public’s need to demand better access to health care and treatment. “We have to help each other,” he said, “‘stand up and shout’ to stopping cancer before it starts.”
 
Rita Haney, a tireless fund-raiser, Founder of Dimebash in memory of her late husband “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott of the band Pantera, accepted the Stand Up and Shout Award for her continuous contributions to the Dio Cancer Fund. Tony Martell, founder of the T.J. Martell Foundation, which has funded innovative medical research to find cures and treatments for leukemia, cancer and AIDS for nearly 40 years, spoke via videotape from New York. His Man on the Silver Mountain Award was accepted on his behalf by T.J. Martell Foundation CEO Laura Heatherly.
 
Among the guests in attendance were LA Ink’s Kat von D and rockers Slash, Glenn Hughes, Frankie Banali, Keith Emerson, Alex Kane, Marc Ferrari and members of the Dio band Rudy Sarzo, Craig Goldy, Scott Warren and Simon Wright as well as record producers Roy Thomas Baker and Mike Fraser and various other celebrities who popped in to show their support.
 
Event sponsors and guests were treated to cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and various gourmet food stations created by renowned chef William S. Bloxsom-Carter and a performance by the rock band Asia featuring John Payne in addition to escorted tours of the Mansion grounds and world-famous grotto and commemorative photos, some with Playboy Bunnies. Silent and live auctions, with items such as guitars signed by The Rolling Stones and U2 among others and one-of-a-kind sports memorabilia including Mohammed Ali’s signed robe and boxing gloves, proved to be an exciting addition to the evening’s festivities. Among the sponsors for the evening were Eagle Rock Entertainment, Metal Blade Records, Revolver Magazine, Chaos Visual Productions, Upstaging, Production Resource Group (PRG), ESP Guitars and Fontana Distribution.

National Tour of the Addams Family comes to St. Louis

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Jeff

NATIONAL TOUR TO MAKE ITS ST. LOUIS PREMIERE AT THE FABULOUS FOX THEATRE

SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 9
TICKETS ON SALE SUNDAY, AUGUST 7

July 27, 2011 / St. Louis, MO – Single tickets for the national tour of the new musical THE ADDAMS FAMILY, based on the bizarre and beloved family of characters created by legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, will go on sale Sunday, August 7 at Noon. Ticket prices start at $15 & $25 and are subject to change; please refer to Fabulousfox.com for current pricing. Tickets will be available in person at the Fabulous Fox Theatre box office (527 N. Grand Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63103), online at metrotix.com, or by calling MetroTix at 314-534-1111. Group orders of 15 or more may be placed by calling 314-535-2900. Performances at the Fabulous Fox Theatre are September 27-October 9.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY, now in its second year on Broadway, began performances in March 2010 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and immediately became one of Broadway’s biggest hits. Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune described the production as “classic, full-tilt, fast paced, old-fashioned musical comedy!” and John Simon of Bloomberg News called it “Uproarious! A glitzy-gloomy musical entirely worthy of the macabre drawings by Charles Addams.”

Douglas Sills, a Tony Award nominee for The Scarlet Pimpernel, and Sara Gettelfinger, last seen on Broadway in A Free Man of Color and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, will star as Gomez and Morticia in the national tour.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY features a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa. The production is directed and designed (sets and costumes) by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, with creative consultation by Jerry Zaks and choreography by Sergio Trujillo. The production features lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Acme Sound Partners and puppetry by Basil Twist.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. A man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend
and his parents.

Art by Charles Addams

In a prolific career spanning six decades, Charles Addams created several thousand cartoons, sketches and drawings, many of which were published in The New Yorker. But it was his creation of characters that came to be known as The Addams Family that brought Addams his greatest acclaim. With a unique style that combined the twisted, macabre and just plain weird with charm, wit and enchantment, Addams’ drawings have entertained millions worldwide and served as the inspiration for multiple television series and motion pictures.

The U.S. Bank Broadway Series at the Fabulous Fox Theatre snaps open with THE ADDAMS FAMILY September 27-October 9. Performance times are Tuesday-Saturday evenings at 8pm; Saturday & Sunday matinees at 2pm and Sunday, October 2 at 7:30pm. There is also a weekday matinee on Thursday, October 6 at 1pm. Ticket prices start at $15 & $25 and are subject to change; please refer to fabulousfox.com for current pricing. Tickets go on sale Sunday, August 7 at Noon and will be available at the Fox Theatre box office, online at metrotix.com and by phone at 314-534-1111. Group discounts are available by calling 314-535-2900. The Fabulous Fox Theatre is located in Grand Center at 527 N. Grand Blvd. THE ADDAMS FAMILY is part of the U.S. Bank Broadway Series and is sponsored by American Airlines. For more information, visit www.theaddamsfamilymusicaltour.com.

You have GOT to see the trailer for the new documentary “Sarah Palin: You Betcha!”

Posted on September 15, 2011 by Paul

The trailer for Nick Broomfield’s latest documentary SARAH PALIN: YOU BETCHA!  is now available. The film hits NY and LA theaters on September 30th.

SARAH PALIN – YOU BETCHA!
 
Directed by: Nick Broomfield, Joan Churchill
Running Time: 90 Minutes
 
Synopsis:
Nick Broomfield’s quest for the real Sarah Palin.
 
A journey across the icy snows of Alaska in mid winter, to meet the school friends, family, and Republican colleagues that in previous days gave their heart, and souls to the charismatic, charming, intoxicating ex hockey mum.
 
But it’s not all plain sailing. People are frightened to talk, Wasilla makes Twin Peaks look like a walk in the park. It’s a devout evangelical community – 76 churches with a population of only 6 thousand, and the Crystal meth capitol of Alaska.
 
Who are the flying monkeys, the enemies, the friends, and most importantly – are you with her or against her? Join the quest and for Christ’s sake buy some thermals!
 
About Broomfield:
Nick was originally influenced by the observational style of Fred Wiseman, and Robert Leacock and Pennebaker, before moving on largely by accident to the more idiosyncratic style for which he is better known. While making ‘Driving me Crazy’ in 1988 a film hopelessly out of control, Nick decided to place himself and the producer of the film in the story, as a way of making sense of the event.
 
This experiment led to a sense of greater freedom, from the confines of observational cinema, and led to a more investigative and experimental type of filmmaking – i.e. ‘The Leader, the Driver and the Drivers Wife’, ‘Aileen Wuornos’, ‘Kurt and Courtney’ and ‘Biggie and Tupac’.
