Del Castillo has the Austin CD Release Party April 28th 2012


Del Castillo released a Special 2-Disc CD/DVD set, Infinitas Rapsodias, in mid March and started a worldwide tour, starting in Europe to promote the special 2-disc set that also includes a 5-track bonus DVD, all shot in HD.  The band schedule was to start in Zurich and end in Berlin on March 25.
Infinitas Rapsodias showcases five brand new Del Castillo songs, as well as newly-created versions of several tunes from previous CDs that have become fan concert favorites and have taken on a whole new life of their own with different arrangements and instrumentation. These include “Brotherhood,” “Vida,” “Porque” and “Perdoname.” Demonstrating their global appeal, the band has even included a new take on their popular song, “Maria,” only this time with a vocal in Italian.

The audio CD features the band with such favorite Austin artists as guitarist Monte Montgomery, singers Malford Milligan and Leann Atherton, and violinists/gypsy fiddlers Erik Hokkanen and Phoebe Hunt. It also includes a song featuring producer and pianist Carl Thiel, and closes with the powerful duet, “Amor Venme a Buscar,” performed by acclaimed German opera diva, Anna Maria Kaufmann, and Del Castillo lead singer, Alex Ruiz. Infinitas Rapsodias was recorded at Smilin’ Castle Studio in Kyle, Texas, and produced primarily by Rick and Mark del Castillo.
The high-definition DVD includes a behind-the-scenes, up-close-and-personal look at the making of the entire project. It also features a video for the new song, “Canta de Alma,” which was shot by the band while on tour in Europe in 2011 and directed/edited by Mark del Castillo. Other DVD tracks include three studio jam session performance videos of Del Castillo favorite cover songs: the Doobie Brothers classic, “Listen to the Music;” the Louis Armstrong chestnut, “What a Wonderful World” and a slamming guitar-driven rendition of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” with special guest guitarist Monte Montgomery.

The Devil's Carnival is on tour and coming to a town near You!


There is still time for fans to catch this film experience while it is on tour. I had a last minute invitation to the screening at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar, so I was unable to get the word out ahead of time to our viewers in the Central and South Texas area who may have considered it.

It was a totally different experience for me, as it contained quite a show ahead of the screening, including local talent who were willing to dress the part! Or shall I say, even undress to get the part to perform with fewer and fewer clothes on.

Fans were in abundance at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar that evening and it is the appropriate place for such a unique theater experience. I wholeheartedly appreciate the invitation, as I may not have known about it and seen such unique storytelling and costumes. Fantastic Fest 2012 here we come!!

Stars: Emilie Autumn as Painted Doll, Shem Andre Byron as Hellharmonic Musician and Dayton Callie as Ticket-Keeper

*************************************************************************************

A New Horror Musical Featuring a Boondock Saint, a Spy Kid, a Devil’s Reject, a Clown, a Goodfella, a Son of Anarchy and more.
STEP RIGHT UP AND GET YOUR TICKETS… After the triumphant collaboration on 2008’s REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA, a film hailed by The Hollywood Reporter as “the next Rocky Horror Picture Show”, director Darren Lynn Bousman and writer/actor Terrance Zdunich had no where to go but down—ALL THE WAY DOWN… TO HELL. These showbiz black sheep invite you dive into the ashes with them on their newest groundbreaking film fusion event,  THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL, an exclusive nationwide road tour featuring burlesque, celebrity meet & greets, a Q&A forum, sing-alongs, costume contests, and a whole lot of devilish behavior. On screen crowds will get to enjoy never-before-seen REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA behind-the-scenes footage and bonus features, and, most notably, an exclusive viewing of THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL. Keep in mind, THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL can only be seen on this exclusive tour, so you must attend a showing to witness the madness!

The past four years have proven that REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA is more than a film—it’s a cinematic experience, one that has grown an army of rabid fans. The REPO! Army has continuously nurtured the film, giving REPO! its righteous place in cult cinema history and finding homes for shadow-casts and late-night showings in art house
theatres worldwide. These events, along with Bousman and Zdunich’s undying need to explore the musical macabre, have spawned their new horror-rock hybrid,
THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL. With their signature flare for merging the worlds of horror and rock music, Bousman and Zdunich join forces again to fire up an underworld unlike any other in this genre-bending, groundbreaking new cinema road tour.
THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL features twelve original songs, written by Zdunich and Saar Hendelman, directed by Bousman, produced by Sean E Demott and Joseph Bishara (Insidious), and stars Victoriandustrial rocker Emilie Autumn, Dayton Callie (Sons Of Anarchy, Deadwood), M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan (of the Grammy award winning, cult metal giants Slipknot), Briana Evigan (Step Up 2), Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints), Maggie “Captain Maggots” Lally and The Blessed Contessa (of The Bloody Crumpets), J. LaRose (Insidious), Jessica Lowndes (90210), Mighty Mike Murga (of Mini Kiss), internet star Hannah Minx, Ivan Moody (of the chart-topping heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch), Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), Ogre (of the legendary industrial band Skinny Puppy), Marc Senter (The Lost), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas), Alexa Vega (Spy Kids), and Terrance Zdunich.
In THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL, sinners are invited to a theme park where they endure the repetition of their transgressions. What chances do a conniving kleptomaniac, a gullible teenager, and an obsessed father stand when facing their own moral failings? Lucifer and his colorful cast of singing carnies invite you to grab a ticket to
THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL to find out!

Miguel Rodarte Se Estrena Como Productor En Estados Unidos

En una producción cien por ciento americana, con un equipo y elenco internacional, Miguel Rodarte incursiona una nueva aventura como actor y productor de una cinta que se rueda en la Gran Manzana.
Se trata de "El Cielo es Azul", una comedia sobre la amistad de dos juniors fresas y treintones, Oscar y Arturo (Miguel Rodarte y Osvaldo Benavides), que se van a Nueva York de vacaciones y son interrumpidos por las autoridades estadounidenses que los confunden con unos criminales terroristas.

Las cinta arrancó la tercera semana de Marzo en el bellísimo Hotel Americano, en donde se cerraron calles para poder rodar escenas cargadas de acción al estilo Hollywood que involucraron dobles. "El Cielo es Azul" se grabará también en el área de los Hamptons y cuenta con un equipo multicultural de primera categoría comenzando con el director Andrew Fierberg que ha producido mas de 30 películas (Secretary y Hamlet) y que ha trabajado con Nicole Kidman, Robert Downey Jr. y Jude Law. El director de fotografía es su hermano Steven Fierberg (Love and Other Drugs, Secretary y Entourage) sobre el cual Miguel Rodarte expresa sentirse "en las mejores manos".

Además del talento extraordinario que tiene la película detrás de cámaras, Miguel protagoniza esta cinta a lado de los actores mexicanos Osvaldo Benavides (Soy tu fan, Locura de Amor y Primera Noche), Stephanie Sigman (Miss Bala) y Emma Ramos en su debut cinematográfico. Además están la actriz alemana Barbara Sukowa (Lola y Europa), el americano Reg Rogers (Runaway Bride y Analize That), y la modelo danesa Camilla Vest.

Sobre su estreno como productor Miguel comenta sentirse "profundamente satisfecho" con quien comparte créditos con el mexicano Juan Aura (Las Paredes Hablan) y Per Melita. "Es un proyecto que comenzó hace una año como un sueño y ahora se encuentra "completamente materializado" comenta Rodarte.

Esta es la segunda producción 100% estadounidense en la que el actor participa en menos de seis meses ya que el año pasado terminó de filmar The Mule bajo la dirección de la directora argentina Gabriella Tagliavini y donde comparte la pantalla con Sharon Stone y Billy Zane.

Antes de viajar a Nueva York, Miguel rodó un par de participaciones especiales en las películas "Colosio" con Kate del Castillo y "I Hate Love". A su regreso a México, Miguel espera comenzar las grabaciones de la segunda temporada de la serie "Los Héroes del Norte" mientras prepara otra producción cinematográfica para fines de este año.
