‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ Soundtrack Gets Vinyl Release for March 2024
If you dug the soundtrack to Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere, and you’re a fan of vinyl, then you’ll be happy to hear that Lost In Cult Records, Black Screen Records, and Strange Scaffold are teaming up for El Paso, Elsewhere: The Album. Available now for pre-order from Black Screen Records’ store, the 11-track album will ship out in March 2024, and brings the original rap songs of LAKE SAVAGE and RJ Lake to life in “glorious 140g, black Re-vinyl”.
The vinyl soundtrack for El Paso, Elsewhere will feature art of main characters Draculae and James Savage, with a limited 1st press exclusive gold-foiled deluxe sleeve. In addition to the record, fans will be able to explore what happens after the events of El Paso, Elsewhere with the included Diaries of James Savage – an exclusive archive of the main character’s thoughts and feelings within the liner notes. Excerpts from the original script and never-before-seen concept art from Demente Animation Studios will also be included in the package.
“El Paso, Elsewhere had to be a rap record as much as it had to be a game,” explains composer RJ Lake. “This is probably the most lavishly mixed thing I’ve ever made, full of weird, intricate beats, layered vocals from both myself and [El Paso, Elsewhere developer Xalavier] Nelson, lyrics that go everywhere from bleak to so-party-that-you’ll-die to totally ridiculous, loads and loads of genre switch ups, and Absolutely Zero Subtlety. For El Paso, Elsewhere, I made a full score, but that’s not what this is. This vinyl is a f*cking album, and it’s sequenced like one. Play it loud.”
El Paso, Elsewhere (which we loved) is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. You can also check out the soundtrack on LAKE SAVAGE’s bandcamp.
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.
