As you know by now, our main man Sam Spiegel served as the co-music director (along with Nick Zinner) for the mind blowing “psycho-opera” Stop The Virgens; spearheaded by close friend and front woman of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O.

Stop The Virgens’ highly stylized blend of music and theater was a big hit at St. Ann’s Warehouse in DUMBO Brooklyn this past October as a focal point of the incredible week-long Creators Project: New York Event produced by our good friends at Vice and Intel.

The opera serves as a live version of the album that Sam wrote with Karen and a host of others a few years back. With big names such as Money Mark, the YYY’s drummer Brian Chase, and Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler of the Greenhornes/Racanteours contributing to the music, sound design by Andres Velasquez, costumes by Christian Joy, acting by Lily Taylor and direction by the amazing Adam Rapp, this “original live experience” was destined for absolute greatness.

Today we’re happy to announce that The Creators Project now has an intimate behind-the-scenes documentary for you all to check out in order to get a real sense of how it all came to be and what it took to pull it all off with such success.  You can peep the 2 part documentary right HERE or just click on the video link below.  Enjoi!

Hey Oh!  We were falling all over ourselves with excitement last night when we saw our music on the new Apple iCloud ad that premiered during the final segment of The 84th Academy Awards.  Check it out!  Also, a huge shout out goes to our homies, Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter at Rock Paper Scissors, who pulled in their 2nd consecutive Oscar last night for Best Film Editing for their amazing work on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  Congrats fellas!

Regretfully Sam won’t be able to make it to the screening in San Fran but that’s because he’ll be in Prague with Derrick Green (Sepultura) recording final touches and orchestral parts for his much-anticipated new album, Maximum Hedrum.   The record is just about finished so keep an eye an ear and a nose on the Squeak E. Clean Blog for updates. Brace yourselves people, it’s going to blow your minds!!!

We’re headed up north again this week for another highly anticipated screening of the N.A.S.A. film, “The Spirit Of Apollo”. It’s going down this Thursday February  23rd, at the Artists Television Access (ATA) in San Francisco as part of the incredible 20th Anniversary Edition of the Noise Pop Festival.

N.A.S.A.: The Spirit of Apollo is an intimate, behind the scenes look at the making of N.A.S.A.’s (North America South America) landmark debut LP, The Spirit of Apollo. The film documents the fruition of the project’s central theme and focus: ignoring boundaries and bringing people together from completely different worlds in order to create unique and unexpected art.

Scoop up your tickets HERE and check out the trailer below.

Big time shout out to our homies, director Emmett Malloy and editor Matt Murphy, for their documentary on the Railroad Revival Tour.  They are very excited to announce that the film will be holding its world premiere at the upcoming South By Southwest festival in Austin, TX.  In fact, they have been selected to be the closing night film for the entire festival.  Yeah!
