Movie news - Random Acts of Romance

We are pleased to announce the inclusion of two Boutique Empire artists on the soundtrack of a new locally shot comedy called Random Acts of Romance.

Over the past summer we were approached about licensing songs for a new independent film shot here in Vancouver.  The trailer below looks great and features the Sex With Strangers song "We Want the Fire."  Another song, "Dancefloor" by Guilty About Girls is also included in the movie, apparently it is used prominently during the closing scene and credits.

From the few moments I've seen everything looks really good, and I can say we're all quite looking forward to catching its premiere in October.

Thanks again to everyone involved, you've been great people to meet and we wish you the greatest success with your motion picture!

Check it out!

Sex With Strangers rehearsing for SXSW

Sex With Strangers will be performing at this year's SXSW in Austin Texas.  They are also on the verge of releasing their brand new album, Frontier Justice.    So, even while the inimitable Hatch Benedict is away from Vancouver, the rest of Sex With Strangers got together today to teach new keyboard player Luna their songs.    Below is a quick clip of them learning We Want the Fire - no lead vocals or vocoder today unfortunately.




Hear the original track and remixes on their We Want the Fire EP (BE10009)  We Want the Fire [Night Versions]

New video from Sex With Strangers- We Want the Fire

Yes that's right, the wonderful people who brought you "New City Anthem" - BKS-Crew productions - have made a follow up to that video with the brand new Sex With Strangers' clip "We Want the Fire."  Of great import we must add that the artist behind every Boutique Empire release, Mr. Robert Edmonds, has a starring role in this video.  Not only is he acting as the "Creator" within the clip but he conceptualized the artwork, then scaled it to fit a 40' wide canvas and painted around the SWS band members.  Each band member had to lie on the cold concrete for nearly three full hours - no simple feat - all the while trying to remain still for the time lapse images being taken while everything happened around them.


Please have a look, rate it, comment on it, and share it with your friends if you enjoy it.



There is also a new remix EP to coincide with the release of the video.  We Want the Fire - Night Versions, available on boutiqueempire.bandcamp.com right now.
