From & Inspired By

Director Kathryn Bigelow's 1995 film, Strange Days, stars Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, Juliette Lewis, and Tom Sizemore. It's set right before the millenium, and borders on the dystopian. The film was an absolute bomb, despite the star power in it and behind the scenes -- it was co-written by James Cameron, after all -- although, in the last 25 years, it's come to be regarded as an underrated diamond in the rough. Several major scenes in the film feature live musical performances, and one such performance early on features the Kansas City hard-rock / post-hardcore band, Season to Risk. Though featured prominently in performance and -- as we'll hear -- being on set for two whole weeks -- the band's song, "Undone," didn't make the soundtrack release alongside such acts as Lords of Acid, Prong, and Tricky. We talk about all of this, and the upcoming reissue of Season to Risk's Men Are Monkeys. Robots Win. with the band's frontman, Steve Tulipana.
