Veteran UK classic rock band Status Quo will release their new double album, Bula Quo! via earMUSIC/Edel/Eagle Rock Entertainment on July 9.
Bula Quo!
was inspired by their first feature film of the same title. Disc 1 features 9
new tracks, written as the soundtrack for the duo’s madcap escapades in
the movie. Disc 2 contains exclusive reworked studio songs or live
versions of 10 classic Quo hits, which are also featured in the film (including a Fijian-style rendition of “Living On An Island”).
Status Quo
is enjoying an exciting phase in their long and successful career,
after the critical acclaim and the support received by their loyal
audience for their previous studio album Quid Pro Quo and tour.
The 90-minute action movie Bula Quo! features the band as themselves and stars Jon Lovitz, among others. Director Stuart St. Paul has worked on projects
ranging from Duran Duran’s seminal “Wild Boys” video, to Aliens, Batman and three James Bond films. The movie will hit the stores and theaters after summer.
“Making
the film in Fiji was a fantastic experience and we couldn’t help but be
inspired by our surroundings,” states vocalist/lead guitarist Francis Rossi. “We had no plans to write and release a new studio album as well as filming our parts for the movie, it just happened.”
Adds singer/rhythm guitarist Rick Parfitt: “We hope that Quo fans will enjoy the film, which is certainly something new for the band, but we know they are going to love the music.”
