N.Y.C. Premiere and New Softer T-Shirts

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead, filmed in three of the five NYC borrows at end of 2007, edited there in 2008 and toured around the US in 2009 is finally returning home for sneak preview at the Friars Club Comedy Film Festival before it’s official release in early 2010.



September 26th, 2009, Saturday afternoon at 5:30, in the Paley Center for Media (25 W 52nd St – you might recognize that as the Museum of TV and Radio) will mark the New York City premiere of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead, a vampire comedy that was conceived and realized in the big apple.

The Friars Club, famous for its rowdy celebrity roasts, first televised in the late 1960s, as part of the The Dean Martin Show. From 1998-2002, the roasts were broadcast on Comedy Central.

A bit of trivia: In 2001, Hugh Hefner's roastat The Club was the scene of Gilbert Gottfried's public telling of the Aristocrats joke, made famous by the documentary of the same name.

Past members include Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, the Marx Brothers, Sammy Davis Jr., Billy Crystal, and Johnny Carson among many others.

So, to celebrate this momentous occasion – and because we sold out our first batch of T-Shirts – we’ve designed a new, softer t-shirt, available on-line at the undead store.

Everyone Else is Boring Animation

A few days ago I completed a new music video. It’s an animated surrealist accompaniment to my song “Everyone Else Is Boring,” off of my debut-solo album, Airbrush (Slush Puppy Music).

For those of you just joining us, Airbrush adds to a discography that includes co-writing two songs on Sean Lennon’s Friendly Fire (Capitol Records), working with Mark Ronson on the motion picture soundtrack for 21 and co-writing two songs on Daniel Merriweather’s forthcoming release Love & War (Allido) as well as four albums with my old rock band Dopo Yume.

The video for “Everyone Else Is Boring,” created as an
animated collage, combines photos of me taken by fashion
photographer Francois Hugon with early 20th century sci-
fi aesthetics and a “Mad Men" type vision of the
American Dream in the late 50’s.

Inspired by Surrealists like Marcel Duchamp, the video follows a slumbering “Jordan Galland” on a journey beginning in the comfort of a 1950s style home, winding through an idyllic
park photograph, mid-century postcard settings, cavernous
supernatural hideouts, Victorian parlors and more.
Methods of transportation include: a flying purple horse, a Godard-esque spaceship and massive bumblebee with
the face of a beautiful woman.

Hope you enjoy it.
