    BRMC added to 101 Sun Festival in Malaga, Spain

    Great news for fans in Spain and Europe! Earlier this morning, BRMC were announced to be joining the 101 Sun Festival in Spain:

    “The line-up of 101 Sun Festival keeps growing and adding new artists for a stunning selection for its first edition, which will take place at the Estadio de Atletismo Ciudad de Málaga on the 11th and 12th of July. This time, the new additions are three international bands, starting with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The West Coast band is one of the most revered names in the rock scene from the last decade, mixing a punk rock attitude of bands like The Stooges or The Jesus & Mary Chain. They have released classic albums such as ‘B.R.M.C.’ or ‘Howl’. 101 Sun Festival is the only Spanish festival they´ve confirmed for now.”

    They join a line-up that already included “great international and Spanish bands, such as Franz Ferdinand, Crystal Fighters, ‘Rinôçérôse’, Russian Red, Lori Meyers, Amaral, or L.A., among others.”

  • BRMC score the dark comedy “Life After Beth”

    BRMC score the dark comedy “Life After Beth”

    Earlier today, BRMC announced their involvement in creating the musical score for a film called ‘Life After Beth‘ premiering at Sundance Film Festival this week:

    “For all you film lovers out there, BRMC have created the musical score to a new dark comedy ‘Life After Beth’. It will be premiering at the Sundance Film Festival this week. Directed by Jeff Baena, the film stars Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, John C. Riley, and Dane DeHann. Unfortunately since this is the first film festival that it is being presented at, there is no trailer as of yet, but we’ll keep you posted.”

    Here’s more info and photos on the film from Sundance’s website:

    lifeafterbethlifeafterbeth1lifeafterbeth2

    2014, 91 minutes, color, U.S.A., U.S. Dramatic

    Zach is devastated by the unexpected death of his girlfriend, Beth. When she miraculously comes back to life, Zach takes full advantage of the opportunity to experience all the things he regretted not doing when she was alive. However, the newly returned Beth isn’t quite the way he remembered her, and before long, Zach’s world takes a turn for the worse.

    Imitating what Dr. Frankenstein did with his monster, writer/director Jeff Baena assembles disparate parts of his film into a new whole and jolts fresh life into it. By fusing elements of a young love story and a zombie movie, he concocts a wickedly funny and shockingly poignant film. With its killer soundtrack and all-star cast, including Aubrey Plaza, whose distinctive delivery has never been used to greater effect, and Dane DeHaan, who perfectly embodies the suffering of a young man with a broken heart and a rotting girlfriend, Life After Beth will leave you dying to see it again. – T.G.

    Here’s a video of the Director Jeff Baena speaking about the film:
