Rammstein to Release New Single in February
Rammstein has never been one to shy away from controversy. They have been accused of being Fascists, their music has been blamed for school shootings in more than one country, and their music videos are not always as easily explained as they would hope they would be. They have been consistently making music and garnering a following since 1994, and have done the near impossible with keeping the same line-up since their inception. All the while with little bouts of controversy mixed in with years of solid music making. The latest hiccup came when the band released the first single and video off of October 2009’s “Liebe ist fur alle da”. The video was directed by Jonas Akerland (yes, the same Jonas Akerland who directed Madonna’s ‘Ray of Light’ video) and features the band performing, clad in leather, cut with video of each of the band members playing up stereotypical porn clichés with hot chicks. The video itself could be considered porn.
This new single doesn’t promise to have nearly as interesting a video premise. It will nonetheless be released on February 9th, exclusive to Itunes, in a bundle that includes four remix bonus tracks and a digital booklet for $4.99, or the single itself can be bought for $1.99.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
