Myrna The Monster Going To Sundance

A short film by director and screenwriter Ian Samuels with loving production by MTV Other, Myrna The Monster has been accepted to debut at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Selected as one of 60 films out of the whopping 8,161 submissions, the film stars legendary Riot Grrrl pioneer Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, The Julie Ruin) as the voice of Myrna, a heartbroken alien dreamer from the moon who transitions into young adult life in Los Angeles just like any other 20-something. In merely 14:20 minutes, the film manages to touch sweetly upon inherently human issues through the eyes of a Martian: friendships, matters of the heart, the eternal questions of “Is there anyone out there like me?” and “Why am I here?” and of course, the theme of a girl finding herself on the dance floor, with sweet dance moves to a soundtrack composed by BOYS (Jona Bechtolt, Rob Kieswetter, Jeffrey Brodsky) of YACHT (DFA Records).

East Cameron Folkcore Brings Kingdom Of Fear

East Cameron Folkcore wants to bring back a sense of social consciousness that they feel has been missing from much of today’s music. Formed in the Northeast Austin neighborhood that they’re named after, the eight-piece orchestral group pieces together folk, country, blues and punk to create a unique sound that represents the poor and downtrodden while expressing the disgruntled and under employed youth they have found themselves a part of. The updated lineup includes long time Gorilla Biscuits drummer, Luke Abbey. ECF will release the cinematic concept album, Kingdom of Fear on April 7.
