Showdown in Secret City is Almost Here!

Poster Reveal

You know the movie release is getting close when the poster is done. Thanks to WILL TROTTER! Big N Funky's next movie in the Smoky Mountain Chronicles pits four filmmakers against the A.I. inside the Oak Ridge Super Computer in a battle for the soul of art. Who will win? Watch the movie, stupid. Or even better, buy the DVD. 

Spanish Version of Showdown!
El Gordo Gringo vs. La Supercomputadora Malvada

Did I mention DVD? I did. But there is a surprise! In SHOWDOWN IN SECRET CITY, Travis Graves and Kandi Thompson are the two leads- and with Travis wrestling under the moniker El Gordo Gringo in real life, we felt like a release of "Showdown in Secret City" for Spanish speaking markets would be primo. Yes, I realize primo is an Italian word. Wait, it also means cousin in Spanish... I think. OK... we may need some help on this. But I assure you- it's coming! (Gross)

John Henry (Rats in the Cornfield)

I wrote and recorded a song for the first time in 21 years. You know what that means, right? Yes. I'm old. So old in fact I needed a lot of help. This song is the main track for the movie SHOWDOWN IN SECRET CITY, and my friends came a-runnin' when I told them the Funkmaster V needed some back up. This song is pretty badass, and here are the contributors to the track:

Funkmaster V: composition, 12-string bass, lyrics

Joshua Lee Jordan: guitar, mixing, arrangement, drum programming

Lukas Patterson: vocals, engineering, mastering, drum programming, additional programming

Spaceman Jones: lyrics, vocal performance

EMVN: lyrics, vocal performance

J. Maximus: lyrics, vocal performance

Courtney Cox: music video model

This song will drop May 9th on everything: itunes, Amazon Music, Apple Music, etc. Please listen and check out the video!

Wait...There's a video?

Dude- this song is friggin' great... but this music video is gonna blow yer brainz. It combines all of these aforementioned talented indie artists, John Henry lore, and clips from the movie. There may even secrets in the damn video about the film. WATCH CLOSELY. This video was shot over 3 days featuring 7 artists in 7 states. Needless to say, I am tired. Oh yeah, cinematographer Jeremy Valk went on the trip and kicked ass filming. He's tired too.

MEDIA BITZ

We are trying our damnedest to get people to watch this movie- and that means talking to news outlets, podcasts, radio shows, TV networks, etc. The following links are a few places Funkmaster V, Luke Walker, Travis Graves, and Kandi Thompson have popped up talking about the film. ENJOY!
