	Hey everyone... So we've been pretty vague on this for a while, but it's finally time to come clean. There is a movie coming out later this month called April Showers. It's based on the true story of the Columbine High School massacre that took place in Jefferson County, Colorado on April 20, 1999. This film was written and directed by Andrew Robinson, a former Columbine student and an actual survivor of the shooting. The trailer for the film can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDVmB... We were contacted by Andrew and his producer Jenna Edwards some time ago, and they originally were asking permission to use Love Is A Mutt From Hell in one scene. We were flattered and though the project sounded terrific, so we started working on re-recording the song for them (to avoid involving Columbia Records). We kept in touch throughout the process, and at some point, Brendan sent Andrew a few of our new demos. Turns out he liked them even more, and instead of using Love Is A Mutt for that scene, they instead wound up taking a brand new song called "You And Your Stoopid Guitar." This was very exciting for us. And then it got even better. The song they had planned on using for the dramatic closing sequence of the film wound up not working out, and we were asked if we could write a new, original song specifically for the scene. The end result is "Now," a song that Brendan and I put together by ourselves in a 2-day marathon recording session. We shipped it off, they approved, and now the film opens and closes with two brand new Wheatus songs. Amazing. We couldn't be more proud of being a part of this project. All the people involved with the movie have been incredibly kind, and it's been a real privilege getting to work with them. Brendan and I are heading to Los Angeles in a few days to attend the premier of the film... we'll report back and let you know how it goes. The American release date is currently April 24th... just 4 days after the 10 year anniversary of the tragedy... and the list of theaters that will be showing the film is ever growing. Please go check in at http://www.aprilshowersmovie.com/ for tons more information. The film will be available on DVD/Blu-Ray, as well as digitally through the iTunes store, for those of you unable to see it in theaters. There should also be information on a soundtrack for the film, which will contain the two aforementioned tracks AND Real Girl, coming very soon. That's it for now, you guys... but there's plenty more news regarding Wheatus music AND movies featuring Wheatus music that is still forthcoming. Not to mention a complete overhaul of Wheatus.com. We're seriously working hard over here... and we're excited to absolutely bombard you guys with new stuff. matthew wheatus
