Mad Man Films set for sequel, but ending unwritten

2008-08-24T18:36:00.001-07:00

In theory, Mad Man Films played its word of farewell show more than a year ago.

But some things are more important than keeping a band broken up, such as the need to make a lot of money loyal because your half-brother is doing life without parole on a dubious polish off conviction.

This is the quandary of Zak Longo, bassist for old Allston indie prog-rock trio Mad Man Films, which is bet on together and playing tonight at Great Scott and tomorrow at O�Brien�s Pub, both in Allston.

�Every time I spill to someone about these shows advent up,� said Mad Man Films drummer Joe Ciampini, �they�re like, �I thought you guys were done.� But we always left wing that opened. It�s concentrated to explain our kinship to people, because it�s kind of strange. It�sbecause we (now) live in separate cities, but we�re also very comfortable with each early. Really, these shows ar us coming together for Sean�s situation.�

Sean is Orlando, Fla.-based recording engineer Sean Robert Killian who, in 2005, was arrested on suspicion of a mangle connected to a bogus drug consider. According to Longo, Killian�s half-brother, the jury establish the testimony of Killian�s girlfriend, wHO wasn�t in town at the sentence of the murder, convincing enough to convict him.

And because whatever good bar requires icing the puck: Another man confessed to the criminal offence six months later, was convicted and sentenced to 30 age. Killian, however, remains captive. Mad Man Films is back playacting together to raise money to try to gain ground his release.

The ordeal had inevitable repercussions on Mad Man Films, which had been wrenching up accolades since 2002. Singer and guitarist George Lewis Jr. and Ciampini had touched to New York City by then, which is where they forged their new record, �Project Manor,� now dusted off for its long-overdue release.

�I commemorate those being tumultuous times. Everybody was really tense,� Lewis, at his piano in New York, recalled. �I was breaking up with some girlfriend. Zak was watching his brother go to jailhouse. Joe had something departure on, stressful to find himself or something. I think the record shows that.�

The title track certainly is an epic blue-core upsurge. But if Killian is eventually released, disdain their geographical distance and other melodic projects (all of which will be on display at O�Brien�s), can we count on more Mad Man Films shows?

�The Eagles said, �When hell freezes over,� � Lewis replied. �I say, when hell freezes over, then unfreezes, then freezes all over again.�

Mad Man Films, with the Wandas, Age Rings and the Painted Lights, at Great Scott tonight at 9 p.m. Tickets: $10; 617-566-9014. Also with Before Lazers, George Lewis Jr. (solo) and Death to the Weird, at O�Brien�s Pub tomorrow at 9 p.m.. Tickets: $10; 617-782-6245.

Mia Farrow's ultra-short 'Rosemary's Baby' crop was fifth in the online poll, commissioned by Hair magazine, followed by the heavy fringe worn to the side that Lady Diana Spencer sported when she announced her engagement to the Prince of Wales.

Happy Mondays are recording a new album and hope to release it in early 2009.

Singer Shaun Ryder confirmed that the band were recording the follow-up to 2007's 'Uncle Dysfunktional' in Stockport.

The singer told Billboard: "It's sounding good. We had a few tracks left over from the last Mondays' album, so we thought that we might as well do another one.

"Knowing us, it'll probably come out in about two years time. I mean, the other one, we had that in the can for, what, two years before that got released, because of legal problems. It took us eight or nine years to sort out all that.

"So we've now got ourselves a new set of legal problems, which will probably take another few years to sort out and then we can get this one out."

The new album will be Happy Mondays' sixth.
