Arrow Video’s label ArrowDrome is pleased to be releasing Lust in the Dust, available for the first time on DVD in the UK. Starring the inimitable Divine, iconic star of John Waters’ Pink Flamingos and Hairspray, Lust in the Dust is a cult classic from director Paul Bartel (Death Race 2000, Eating Raoul) and will be released on 16th December.
Synopsis:
The sun beats down hard on the town of Chili Verde, New Mexico – where temperatures flare and passions reach boiling in the midday heat. The locals spend their days downing Tequila and breaking bottles over heads… and that’s just the womenfolk!
When Abel Wood, an enigmatic lone cowboy type, comes riding into town, the locals immediately suspect that he has come in search of the legendary buried gold. Quick on the draw and tall in the saddle he may be, but Abel faces stiff competition if he’s to get his hands on the prized booty.
From the legendary Paul Bartel, Lust in the Dust is a treat for both fans of Westerns and lovers of John Waters-type subversive humour, featuring the inimitable Divine (Hairspray, Pink Flamingos) in a typically larger-than-life performance; whilst Tab Hunter, in the role of Abel, delivers a sharp-shooting, gun-toting turn worthy of Clint himself.

Yes, you read that right! One of the best bands ever are back with a new album!

The new album will be out in February 2014.
Homescreen is one of the finest labels in the Benelux you can find if you’re looking for great arthouse. From now on Peek-A-Boo will present you their releases. The first in line is Bellas Mariposas.
This movie has already been compared to great Italian classics such as Brutti, Sporchi E Cattivi, Gomorra and even the excellent Zazie Dans Le Metro by Louis Malle.
Synopsis: 3 August, Cagliari: a poor neighborhood. At three in the morning eleven-year-old Cate is woken by the screams of her eccentric neighbor. Cate wants to run away from that apartment, from her numerous and problematic siblings and her tyrannical father. Only Gigi, a neighbor, is worthy of her love. She does not want to end up like her sister Mandarina, who got pregnant at thirteen. Or like Samantha, the neighborhood sex siren. And today, on 3 August, Gigi’s life is in danger: Tonio, Cate’s brother, wants to kill him. Cate warns Luna, her best friend. The two of them spend the longest day of their lives between the city, the sea and a thousand adventures. But her beloved Gigi is in danger. And when everything seems lost, during the night a beautiful woman appears out of nowhere: the mysterious Aleni, a witch who apparently can see into people’s futures...
The movie is out on dvd this 5th December on Homescreen.
erlin’s most popular export for solid and extremely catchy electronic anthems is back! Solitary Experiments are releasing their best album to date as a deluxe double CD version (with a real surprise on CD 2) and as fan box set with exclusive bonus disc and extras, limited to 500 copies.
“Never change a working system” is a popular saying in IT-circles and “PHENOMENA”, the new long player from Solitary Experiments showcases a mature band that is fully aware of all its strengths and plays the cards accordingly while avoiding any kind of stagnation at all costs, always carefully advancing the trademark sound with a myriad of new influences and elements.
In 2013, the Solitary-Experiments-experience is more hit-laden than ever, as the club-filler “Trial And Error” (the MCD was sold out in a matter of weeks) and the highly wanted compilation track “Stars” which quickly became a DJ favourite effectively proved in advance. The Berlin-based band has pretty much always been the ideal link between Synth Pop sounds for the masses and the harder Electro-faction, this time around balancing real feelings, synthetic oomph and harsh elements to utter perfection.
The result takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride through emotional depths and effectively-dosed aggressive attacks while always keeping a keen eye on dance floor compatibility. “PHENOMENA” will hit shops as a deluxe double CD with a special surprise on disc 2.
Having long been fascinated by the idea of how their tunes might sound when interpreted by guitar driven acts, the lads sent out a call which was answered by a strong line up of well known performers from all ends of the scene. Bands like Staubkind, OST+FRONT, Lord Of The Lost, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, Kitty In A Casket and many more have recorded their own visions of some of Solitary Experiments’ classic tunes so that you can experience them in a way you never have before.
For the diehard fans, “PHENOMENA” is also being released as a special fan set in an embossed metal box containing the double disc, an exclusive bonus CD that has Solitary Experiments doing cover versions of some of their favorites from the Eighties, as well as a deck of cards in SE-design and a metal badge, all limited to 500 copies. Solid, catchy and utterly addictive… for aficionados of melodic and thudding Electronica, this PHENOMENAl album is a must-own!
In some way that is! Everybody seems to know this Belgian classic by Red Zebra and so it happens that the Italian director Asia Argento (yes, daughter from Dario!) has asked Peter Slabbynck if she can use 'I can't live in a living room' for her next movie 'Incompresa'.
It seems like this punkanthem is having a second life in the movies as it’s also used in the newest trailer from Geoffrey Enthoven’s upcoming movie!
