Bill Withers Movie Getting Unusual Release

PR reports: There is a new film that takes audiences on the incredible journey of soul legend Bill Withers. "Still Bill," directed by Alex Vlack and Damani Baker, is a heartfelt and intimate portrait of Bill Withers, an unlikely superstar who we haven't heard from in two decades. The film will screen across the country and be released via the B-Side Entertainment's signature Theatrical-on-Demand� program where individuals and organizations can host a screening of any size, in any location, at any time.

Today, B-Side Entertainment announced that it has acquired Alex Vlack and Damani Baker's Still Bill, to be released via the distributor's signature Theatrical-on-Demand� program where individuals and organizations can host a screening of any size, in any location, at any time. Beginning today, Still Bill's website www.stillbillthemovie.com will allow audiences to sign up to host their own screening of the film.

"Still Bill is one of those rare documentaries that delivers what it promises: an incredible journey into the life of a legendary artist. Bill Withers is as cool as his music, and a guy whose humility is completely incongruous with the enormous impact his songs have had on the music business and pop culture," said Chris Hyams, B-Side's Founder and CEO, "Alex and Damani have done a brilliant job of crafting a beautiful portrait of this amazing man." - more on this story

Decapitated Return

PR reports: Wacek "Vogg" Kieltyka, guitarist & founding member of the Polish death metal band Decapitated announced on Tuesday that Decapitated have returned. Here is what he had to say:

"It's time to come back! After a two-year break, Decapitated is coming back with new members. The official new line-up for Decapitated will be announced at the end of December.

"As you all know, the decision to continue the band was really, really hard for me, but everything I do now is to keep Decapitated alive. [Vocalist] Covan's situation has not improved much and he is still in bed and unable to function on his own. He still fights to recover as we speak and we are all still 100% behind him and hope for the best. It has been the hardest thing for me to move on without [brother & drummer] Vitek by my side, but he would have wanted me to continue with the band. - more on this story
