Digging the "Lost" Music so far...

Dale Clark/Orange Cap/Flow/Special Brownies

Like most of my projects, I usually don't know where they may go after I start them. They seem to take on a life of their own. Growing at their own pace. One of the things that is becoming apparent to me is how cool the music is that I am hoping to release as a compilation "music /picture" disc. When I made my first documentary "Marymount Again...", my friend Dale Clark took on the task of editing the film with no previous experience in this field. As the film developed it became obvious that music was going to be integral in telling the story. I had found some great music about N.D.G in Montreal, from a high school punk band called "The Discords" that worked well at the opening of the film, but I could not afford the licensing fee's for any "commercial music". Dale said that he would take a crack at writing some music ? He ended up creating 3 amazing songs that gave the film the sound that matched its look and feel. When I got in touch with Dale a few weeks ago and mentioned the "Lost Vegas Art Project" he said that he was in. Yesterday he sent me a file of the song...It's wicked...This is how he started it:

“Hundreds of years after nature left town.
The idea of prosperity sunk it's seeds into this soil.
Pollinated by the working mans desire To slip into a suit of riches.
It rose from the ground like a plantation...

Welcome to Fabulous Downtown Las Vegas Nevada”


Broke & Eck - The Insurgentlemen

Another band I met recently called "The Insurgentlemen" jumped on the project also.
They are recording "Freemont Street" on September 14th. They are a really great live band to see. I can't wait to hear what they come up with.

As the great Curt Cobain once said... "If it's illegal to rock and roll, throw my ass in jail"
