ECLIPSE SOUNDTRACK MISINFORMATION…CORRECTED

Over the weekend there was some confusing information reported by The San Diego News Network. In the story, it sounded like the band Maren Parusel might be a consideration for the Eclipse soundtrack because producer Kim Fowley (of The Runaways fame) had struck a deal for spots on the soundtrack. Unfortunately none of that was true. Below is a excerpt from the original article followed by an excerpt from the real story:

Kim Fowley, the Hollywood kingmaker (or perhaps queenmaker) who put the “gall” back in Svengali, may have discovered a new star: SanDiego’s own Maren Parusel. “Mario Escovedo, the local talent hound who happens to be the younger brother of Javier Escovedo of ’70s-vintage all-boy rock band The Zeros, reports that “legendary producer” Fowley was in Austin last week for South by Southwest “to promote the movie about how he discovered Joan Jett and The Runaways,” when he “met Maren Parusel unloading equipment in an alley.”
“Two days later she was recording with him in Los Angeles,” remaking her “Ordinary Day,” Escovedo e-mails. “I’m hearing nothing but good things about the movie,” he adds. “And because of the actress playing Joan Jett, Kim Fowley struck a deal to write some songs for Twilight three.”

You can find the story here, but it is now corrected due to the following article which TA has confirmed.

The next day, Kim and I met with the music supervisor of the Twilight franchise, who mentioned to Kim that there was possible interest in his providing atmospheric music that might be utilized on thesoundtrack of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Kim then introduced the executive to Geoff Martyn, a founding member of the UK band Travis. As Twilight fans know, the Travis album The Man Who, to which Martyn and his brother contributed, was an inspiration to Stephanie Meyer in the writing process of Twilight. I recorded a demo of Geoff and Kim’s compositions at the Sheraton, songs to be sent to the executive for consideration for the Eclipsesoundtrack. As I write this, Martyn is hard at work in Glasgow, Scotland, putting the finishing touches on the material.
On March 19th, Kim and I heard the song “My Heart’s on Fire” performed on Neches Street in Austin by the unsigned band Maren Parusel. Kim liked the San Diego-based band so much that he offered to do a Test Recording the following Tuesday in Hollywood.

I don’t even understand how these rumors get so wildly out of control! What TA has confirmed is that Kristen had nothing to do with any of this and Maren Parusel is not theband in question. Kim Fowley is working with musician Geoff Martyn (of Travis fame) in the hopes of landing a spot on the Eclipse soundtrack.
