Gunship Embrace Pop Culture With “Tech Noir” Video
By now I’ve made it very clear that Gunship is pretty much my favorite group in recent memory. Their newly released self-titled album is full of incredibly catchy 80’s-inspired retrosynth and I honestly can’t stop listening to it.
One of my favorite tracks on the album is “Tech Noir”, which is a genre of film but also takes its name from the club featured in Terminator. That track is now a music video that is an absolute must-see and we’re thrilled that it’s out for all of you to see!
Directed by Lee Hardcastle (ABCs of Death, Done In 60 Seconds), the claymation/live-action video is a classic “rescue the damsel in distress” story. However, this time it’s got some serious twists as the protagonist has the ability to change into different pop culture icons by inserting VHS tapes into his chest! By doing this, he becomes Robocop, Rocky, He-Man, and more! Add in the fact that it gets seriously gory and you’ve got a goddamn winner!
Director John Carpenter (Halloween, Prince Of Darkness), who lent his voice for the opening monologue, stated:
Absolutely great video. Claymation 80’s. Coolness. One of my favorite songs of the year. Gunship rules.
Below you can see this video as well snag several hi-res screencaps from the video!

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
