Rock
Opera DVD deal inked in bongwater
Like a gravity bong from hell, this DVD will blow your brain!
That’s a threat and a promise… Problem is, you’ll
have to wait until March of 2005 to get your sticky lil’
fingers on it.
The
powerhouse team of GoKart
Films, Hoverground
and Koch Entertainment
defeated all others in a heated battle for the Rock
Opera DVD rights. The frenzied bidding war allowed us the
leverage to demand that all kinds of weird stuff be included
on the Rock
Opera DVD. Little gems like “The Adventures of Donald
Starkland” and “Night of the
Kung Fu Zombie Bastards from Hell!” and several other
kick ass shorts can be found in the jam packed “Old Stupid
Shit” section of the DVD.
We’ve
got some of those boring audio commentaries that all the kids
are into these days. But we messed up again. We went and got
all wacky and recorded the Rock Opera Drinking Game by mistake.
Eight of the key players in the film gathered and followed these
rules while watching the flick:
1. When you hear “Dude,” “Fuck,” or
“Man” – you take one drink.
2. When you hear or see a band name – you take a bong
hit (then pass the bong (you greedy bastard) so the next person
can take a hit when another band name is mentioned).
3. Whenever Toe gets slapped around – you take a shot
of booze.
Seconds
after recording the drunk game we got the bright idea to record
The Stoner Jam Track with Tia
Carrera What happened was Austin’s heaviest
instrumental combo came in and laid down a blistering 90 minute
jam while watching the flick (sorta like The Wizard of Oz and
Pink Floyd thing, but all kick ass and shit).
But
wait, there’s more… there are tons of music videos,
behind the scenes featurettes, trailers and kick butt short
films…

Here’s
what we have planned:
The
Latest:
Tia Carrera Jam Track:
We recorded this on Monday (Aug. 16, 2004)
at fabulous Million Dollar Sound (Thanks Kurtis!). The Tia Carrera
jam track will be an optional audio track you can turn on and
listen to the awesome sounds of Austin’s heaviest band
Tia Carrera as they watch the film and jam along (think of a
stoner rock version of The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd’s
Dark Side of the Moon). We filmed the band jamming so maybe
we can even do a picture-in-picture of the experience.
New
Rock Opera Opening Credits
This is how we intended to shoot it, and
so here it is… instead of boring black and white opening
credits, we have kick ass posters from Austin poster artists
Billy Bishop, Rob Gasper, Jared Conner and more.
DVD Extras:
Audio Commentary / Extra Tracks:
-Audio commentary with director
Bob Ray and lead actor Jerry Don Clark
-Tia Carrera Jam Track
-Drunk Game Audio Track with Bob Ray, Kurtis
D. Machler, Ted Jarrell, Dylan “Chicken” Griffith,
Mike G., Tony Linder, Corri Mava, and Rob Gasper
You can play at home by following these rules:
->When you hear “Dude, Fuck,” or “Man”
– you take one drink
->When you hear a band name – you take a bong hit (then
pass the bong (you greedy bastard) so the next person can take
a hit when another band name is mentioned)
->Whenever Toe gets slapped around – you take a shot
of booze
Play at your own risk. This game, like the Fuckemos, can kill
you.

Okay, that’s
a lot of shit… but be patient, we still haven’t
signed the contract yet, and when we do, it’ll most likely
be very late 2004 or early 2005 before the DVD hits the streets.
