NEWS: DANCE HALL PIMPS LEND SONGS TO HORROR COMEDY 'SMOTHERED'

December 13, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
RJ Comer and his band Dance Hall Pimps are taking a break from the Christmas season to celebrate the Friday the 13th release of the official trailer for the upcoming horror/comedy Smothered written and directed by John Schneider (Dukes of Hazard; Tyler Perry’s Haves and Have Nots).  Smothered stars the most feared horror legends in the history of film, Bill “Teddy” Moseley (Rob Zombie’s Devils Rejects), R.A. Mihailoff (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Malcolm Danare (Christine), Don Shanks (Halloween) and Kane Hooder (Friday The 13th) and features music from Dance Hall Pimps and singer RJ Comer.
 
 
 
 
Smothered features multiple Dance Hall Pimps tracks taken from their debut record “Beast for Love” released last year (Lakeshore Records) and from the band’s recently released second album “The Dead Don’t Walk” (Growling Moon Records).  Backstage at a recent Dance Hall Pimps show, Schneider remarked: “It’s almost like I wrote my movie for Dance Hall Pimps music.”  At Schneider’s request, Dance Hall Pimps frontman RJ Comer also wrote the title track to the film.
 
 
Emerging from the Los Angeles underground, Dance Hall Pimps are making their presence known.  Combining commanding vocals, sharp guitars, wailing horns with thought provoking lyrics, the band released their debut album Beast for Love on Lakeshore Records in 2012.But it’s on their latest release The Dead Don't Walk, out now on Growling Moon Records, that the band’s uniqueness shines.
 
 
”What the Dance Hall Pimps deliver on their second album is a superior line-up of talent focused on building and driving a monster musical machine until the wheels fall off… In this world of auto-tune and studio tricks it’s easy to forget how great a band of straight-up talented players can be when they team up like this. This is an album that deserves some attention, respect and submission - Very Highly Recommended” -- Rust Magazine

Expect a solo album from RJ Comer in 2014.
