REPO! ROAD TOUR 3 SET TO KICK OFF JANUARY 13

"I think that the REPO! Road Tour must be seen to be believed. REPO! has inspired a community, and that community shows up in force on the road tour to bond, sing, and show off their fan-made REPO! costumes and props. I imagine this is what being there on the ground floor of The Rocky Horror Picture Show experience 33 years ago must have been like." Stated Terrance Zdunich Actor/Co Creator.

The third and FINAL leg of the REPO! Road Tour is primed and ready to kick off January 13, 2009. Director Darren Bousman and actor/writer Terrance Zdunich will be heading out across the country to promote their film, 'Repo! The Genetic Opera'. In anticipation of the dual release of the extended Soundtrack and the DVD [and a Blu-Ray version] on January 20th, Bousman and Zdunich will be taking over independent theaters and screening the film for fans in-person. The REPO! Road Tour is for fans to come out and be a part of the event together. Each city has put its own spin on the event, from fans dressing up as characters to theater-wide sing-a-longs, and more!

With sellouts on the first two REPO! Road Tours, Bousman and Zdunich look to repeat their success. Tickets are $15 and are on-sale Monday, December 29, at www.reporoadtour.com. The event WILL sell-out, so make sure to buy yours early! Recently on REPO! Road Tour I and II, several cast members have joined the tour in select cities including Paul Sorvino, Alexa Vega and Bill Moseley, as well as co-writer and band leader Darren Smith, so to all REPO! Fans; be prepared for special guests!

Bousman commented on the upcoming tour: "The REPO! Road Tour has become the single most important aspect of REPO. You haven't seen REPO until you have seen it with a packed house of dressed-up people singing with the movie. The Road Tour truly has turned into an event. It's like a concert. Every single show we have done thus far has been sold out. With lines wrapping around the block, the fan reaction is amazing."

For the fans: REPO! Road Tour includes an introduction to the film by Bousman and Zdunich, a screening of REPO! The Genetic Opera, as well as a post-film Q&A session and autograph session with the filmmakers and Actors, and a chance to purchase exclusive REPO! Road Tour merchandise.

The film is also set for an exclusive screening at this year's highly-anticipated Fantasia Film Festival. Go to Fantasia's site for the newest trailer or it can also be viewed at FearZone.com.

ALSO OF WORTHY NOTE

kEtvEctor CDkEtvEctor CDSome older news that comes highly praised and definitely worthy of mention as we anxiously await the release of the new SKINNY PUPPY and ohGr albums and extensive tours—Justin-Gabriel Isaac Bennett [live drummer for PUPPY 2005 & 2007, MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT, and others] released a excellent collaboration with Stefano Rossello [of BAHNTIER & DETUNE-X] back in February of 2008 on Rustblade Records. Under the moniker of kETvECTOR the album, 'The Infinite Regress,' was released as a limited edition CD—with bonus materials and 2 extra tracks—and a regular CD release. This album is a must-have for fans of SKINNY PUPPY and especially their highly acclaimed side project DOWNLOAD. Go to kETvECTOR's MySpace page for more details and to order.

Another project our friend Justin has had a major role in is the film project 'American Memory' with William Morrison [live guitar for SP on the 2005 'TGWOTR' World Tour]. Rumours state that this surreal video experiment could shine thru the window to the soul very soon, so keep the radars spinning. Go see AmericanMemory.net for an amazing teaser trailer.
