Skid: Fly The Frenzied Skies Movie

 I did some more extra work on a movie called 'Skid: Fly The Frenzied Skies', due out I believe they said in the fall. I was an "airline passenger" for the day. This marks my first film where I'm not dressed as myself. So, when it comes out be sure to look for me. Here is the website: http://www.skidmovie.com/

Rudderless The Movie

 Rudderless is being filmed here in Oklahoma. It's being directed by William H. Macy and stars Billy Crudup and Laurence Fishburne. They've been casting a lot of locals as extras in the film. I happened to have a free day and was contacted to be "Guy in music store". We filmed in Guthrie on Monday the 22nd. I am in what appears to be a cut scene where Laurence Fishburne is finishing a conversation with Billy Crudup. I walk into the music store and Laurence greets me and shakes my hand. After the first take William H. Macy, Laurence Fishburne and Billy Crudup all came and introduced themselves to me, shook my hand and thanked me for being part of the film. Very cool. Hopefully it doesn't wind up on the cutting room floor. Due out in 2014, so keep an eye out.

General Update - 2013

 My apologies for not updating the site with any news since June... June?!?! There has had to be some news since then, right? Well, my laptop busted and a couple of the bands drifted apart. There was some time spent re-organizing our lives trying to decide where we are going. I'll give you some basic stuff in the following rambles to fill you in.

 My solo stuff is still going on, although I've been taking it slower. I've rejoined SWAN in what little spare time I've had, so you can catch me there as well as the occasional small show. My next solo show will be this Friday with my friend Sterling Witt at The Pink Elephant in Norman (8pm, no cover). If you haven't seen Sterling before you want to head out. He is amazing.

 The Prairie Fire's last gig was in Sept. We played the State Fair and L.M.O.T.C. Well, we are still going through an adjustment period. Not sure what the final line-up will be, but we are still a functioning band. Come see us on the 10th of February when we open up for The Koffin Kats at the Blue Door in OKC (8pm, no cover).

 On the metal front I guess it's been over a year since Social Parasite has done anything. Well, Joe D. and I are supposed to start practicing again this month, so expect something new soon. Not sure if we will do more S.P. or try to take it somewhere else... but something heavy will happen.

 The hip-hop is still happening as well. SmacOne and the S.S.K.K. crew never stop. I've recorded some more tracks with them, and am expecting them to be released soon. Frost released a new mix-tape last month with "Lonely People" on it. Plus Smac's been hosting some battles in OKC.

 Fans of my old Mockingbird Lane stuff need to contact me if interested in joining a new group. Currently holding try-outs for the band. Looking for a lead guitarist and a drummer. Somebody fresh.

 As for film, I've not really done anything during the break but I will be a part of the new Star Trek fan series Starship Ajax. I will be a member of the Gorn. So keep an eye on that!

Oklahoma Lefty Reviews "The DAMAGED Hearing Sessions"

 Dave Brown over at the Oklahoma Lefty Blogspot reviewed Christophe's latest album "The DAMAGED Hearing Sessions".

Album Review: The Damaged Hearing Sessions

Title:  The Damaged Hearing Sessions (BandCamp)

Artist:  Christophe Murdock (Blog, Facebook, Twitter, BandCamp, ReverbNation, Last.fm, Google+)

Shawnee, OK’s hardcore troubadour has returned with his latest album The Damaged Hearing Sessions.  The double record was recorded live in the studios of KRFC in Fort Collins, CO by former Okie Lewis Fowler and includes one disc of originals and one of covers.  The record is a simple one—Christophe with his acoustic guitar—but the result is a dark and brooding collection that touches on everything from love to suicide to life on the road to drinking to death (and covers of classics by the likes of Husker Du and Social Distortion, among others). 

With The Damaged Hearing Sessions, Christophe has again done what he does so well and produced an album of dark outlaw country songs that conjure images and moods of the classic country of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings and the classic horror films of the 1950s.  If you like your country dark and at times scary, then Christophe Murdock is your man.
