WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA, April 02, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Royal Crown Revue continued their music presence in feature films and TV opportunities this week, as their tune, "Hey Pachuco!" was prominently featured in the nations new #1 Boxoffice movie trailer, "Monsters vs. Aliens'.
It's not the first time "Hey Pachuco!" has caught the interest of the boxoffice as director Chuck Russell, asked the band to recreate their turbo-charged stage show for his film The Mask, which starred Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz. RCR's cameo in this 1994 film made their song "Hey Pachuco!" an instant classic. The song's infectious jungle groove and shout chorus went on to grace countless film scores, Las Vegas revues, an Acura advertising campaign, and numerous television shows such as King of the Hill. RCR also served as inspiration for the hit movie Swingers, which brought the new music, dance and fashion ground swell to a larger public. The music was most recently featured on ABC's Top Rated, "Dancing With The Stars".
Royal Crown Revue is celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year with special shows with beautiful burlesque showgirls and high flying swing dancers along with a tribute to Louis Prima and Keely Smith featuring seductive singer, Jennifer Keith.
The show also features a special acoustic set by Eddie Nichols along with the world premiere of the "Rat Pack Concerto" - a tribute to the Las Vegas Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Dean Martin.
The band formed in 1989 and are often credited with starting the Swing Revival movement of the mid '90s,
The band recently filmed a special episode of "Gene Simmons Family Jewels", with Gene taking the reins, that appeared earlier this month. The band was founded by Eddie Nichols and Mando Dorame, from their admiration and love for Blues, Rockabilly, Jazz, Punk, Soul, and Jazz, among other styles of roots music .
The band has plans of releasing an anniversary CD later this year that includes favorites from the last 20 years along with some new tunes that will satisfy long time fans and welcome the next generation of RCR fans.
