There is quite an interesting story behind the musician duo Edo Van Breemen and Zachary Gray alias Unalaska. After playing a fictional band in the vampire thriller ‘Afflicted’ they realized that they might be on something. “The film was constructed as a travelogue, and Van Breemen and Gray were set to play minor roles: a band that the two main characters met up with on a visit to Paris – and that was supposed to be that. Given the constraints of the film’s DIY budget, there wasn’t enough money to rent a sound stage and hire actors for the concert scenes, so the producers worked some black magic and booked the Van Breemen and Gray to play some legit gigs as the band on their made-up European tour, shooting the scenes guerrilla-style with real crowds, and with the music improvised on the spot.” So after that a real band was born and their self-titled EP is about to be released. Air Transylvania is the first track out of it and we are hooked on it already.
