“Recalling
the apocalypse imagined by forerunners like Pere Ubu.” – New York Times
Brooklyn-based band Lycaon Pictus (“Lycaon,” pronounced like “Nikon”), forebears of the
current wave of underground avant-rock in the borough, will appear in the
upcoming Austin Chick feature film “Girls Against Boys,” hitting theaters
in New York and Los Angeles this Friday, Feb. 1st. The band, founded by two former members of Challenge of The Future, a ’90s-era group
that featured future Yeah Yeah Yeahs
guitarist Nick Zinner, is seen in
the film performing its 2005 song “I
Give You A Rose,” now available for free download via Diffuser.fm.
This upcoming Lycaon
Pictus appearance in “Girls Against
Boys” has spurred new interest in the band, which formed out of the ashes
of Challenge of The Future at Bard
College in the ‘90s, and was comprised of current Lycaon Pictus band members Aaron
Diskin and Simon Marcus along
with fellow classmate Nick Zinner,
who later went on to found Yeah Yeah
Yeahs. To date, Lycaon Pictus
(which now also includes band member John
Christopher Morton) has released three albums on Morton’s Avant-God label
(co-owned by Nathan Corbin of Excepter), and has received accolades
from the New York Times, Black Book, Time Out New York, Village
Voice and others. Lycaon Pictus is currently working on a
fourth album, scheduled for release in 2013.
“Placing a song in a movie is a great way to reach a
new audience, but it is a rare opportunity for us to be able to perform one of
our own songs, as ourselves, in a film,” Morton
says of the bands appearance in “Girls
Against Boys”.
“Girls
Against Boys” was a 2012 SXSW Film Festival favorite that played
sold-out screenings, and was one of the first films there to find
distribution. The dark “grindhouse meets
art house” film about two girls who go on a killing spree against the men in
their lives who have wronged them, stars Danielle
Panabaker (“Friday The 13th”),
Nicole LaLiberte (“Dexter”), Liam Aiken (“Road To
Perdition”), Michael Stahl-David
(“Cloverfield”), and Andrew Howard (“I Spit On Your Grave”). See
the film’s trailer via the Hollywood
Reporter.
The Austin
Chick–directed film will debut at the Quad Cinema in New York
and The Laemmle’s Noho 7 in
Los Angeles, this Friday, Feb. 1st. “Girls
Against Boys,” will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray on Feb., 26th,
2013. “I Give You A Rose” by Lycaon
Pictus can be purchased at the iTunes
store here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/i-give-you-a-rose/id128744691?i.
