Billy "Harp" Hamilton and the Lowriders Contribute Music to Film

Hey folks, sorry for the lack of postings. I've been a very busy and maybe a little overwhelmed recently. I will confirm that we're shooting an additional scene in late April, but I don't want to go into that until after it's filmed. Also I had to get an extension on my taxes (tax day for businesses is March 15th, not April 15th).

But stuff is happening. For example, a major contributor to the soundtrack are Billy "Harp" Hamilton and the Lowriders. Late last year I put out some ads that I'm collecting music. This band sent me a CD and I loved the sound. Now they've got multiple songs in the film since I've decided my character Evan also likes blues, soul, and R&B. Interesting fact: this American-born band is now in Bratislava, Slovakia touring Central Europe and the world, it seems. You can hear some of their music on their myspace page, or enjoy the video below!

Fox Vulpini Contribute Music to Film

At this point I have about four songs edited into the movie, but the first band to officially sign on and lend their talent to "Bagged and Boarded" is Fox Vulpini. These guys are from Finland and their songs have really got me hooked, so it was a real pleasure to put their music into the film (during a very powerful and important scene, too). You can hear their songs and request them on their official myspace page. The song featured in the movie is "In the Spin," which you can download to your computer for free! Very cool. They're really going to play a big part in making this film work, and I thank them sincerely. Check them out!
