Let’s be honest. We have all been to a Karaoke night where a singer thought they killing it, but all you wanted to do was kill their mic because they were murdering a song and your eardrums.
That is exactly what happened to directors Chris Lightbody and Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. because they made a movie about a killer Karaoke machine, Bad Karaoke.
“We were inspired to make this film after years of painful karaoke performances nearly put us in an early grave. We found that many people have had near-death karaoke experiences and we wanted to play with that idea, as well as say something profound about the state of new music. But instead, we made Bad Karaoke.”
The film is described as: “When wedding band keyboardist Emily discovers an old karaoke machine in the back of a dive bar, she thinks it will lead to a fun-filled night of singing and bonding with her bandmates.
“Unfortunately, this karaoke machine seems to have a thirst for blood. When the singing begins, so does the bloodshed. After one excellent performance appears to spare someone from the machine, the band think they have found a way to beat it. But they are quickly proved wrong, and it takes more horrifying deaths and a visit from a mysterious stranger before they realise they may have a chance at survival after all.”
Bad Karaoke is looking for a distributor, and I am sure it will find one after it premieres at Tubi FrightFest on August 30th.
Last week, Bret Michaels revealed that he was suffering from kidney stones. Being the Rocker that he is, he kept on performing in pain. But when the pain was too much for him, he went to the hospital to get some comfort. Once there, he went under the knife so that doctors could remove a kidney stone that didn’t want to come out naturally. Today, he gave a post-op update.
The statement reads: ” Dr. Abby Borhan, Bret’s physician, a ureteral stent was successfully placed during the procedure and remains in situ. Due to the nature of Michaels’ post-operative condition and underlying health factors (diabetes, lower back compression fracture), he is restricted from performing for the next 3 to 4 weeks and only prescribed light physicabretl activity as part of his recovery. A ureteral stent causes significant internal friction, constant physical discomfort, and localized inflammation. The physical demands of Bret’s high-intensity live performances exacerbate these symptoms. Strenuous physical exertion carries a high risk of intense pain spikes, gross hematuria, and acute stent displacement, which would require immediate medical intervention.”
The singer added, “I’m forever grateful for the amazing medical treatment and ongoing medical attention throughout my personal life and career, and truly grateful for family, friends, fans, band, crew and promoters for their understanding and, if all goes well, will hit the road late August back to delivering 1000% energy, intensity and truly nothing but a good time.”
The Poison singer who dances with your mama is hoping to reschedule the postponed dates.
Hopefully, the fallen angel will recuperate soon and be back talking dirty to audiences all over the United States.
Before everyone knew George Wendt’s name on Cheers, he made a lasting impression on M*A*S*H*. How hysterical was the 33-year-old having a ball on the 1982 episode?
