Commercial Appeal Mention

As if Robby Grant wasn't already busy enough fronting two popular local bands, Mouserocket and Vending Machine, this summer he'll add another line to his musical resume when he scores the film "The Hanged Man." The Starbox Pictures production began shooting in Travelers Rest, S.C., June 19. The film explores the darker undercurrents of contemporary American life through the eyes of a group of social misfits who meet in an Internet chat room.

Produced and written by Memphis native Glenn Hopper, the film stars fellow Memphians Brandon Gibson, a comedian who started performing at Sir Laffs-a-Lot almost 20 years ago when he was only 14, and father/son duo Adam and Ralph Hatley, a retired cop, former radio personality, and current frequenter of Memphis indie films and theater.

Also, look for a new Vending Machine record in the fall.
