Ex-FAITH NO MORE Keyboardist Completing Work On 'Adam And Steve' Soundtrack

March 17, 2005

Billboard.com is reporting that former FAITH NO MORE keyboardist Roddy Bottum is finishing work on the soundtrack to the upcoming movie "Adam and Steve".

Bottum describes "Adam and Steve" as "a romantic comedy set in New York about two guys that meet in the '80s at Danceteria, have a horrible, botched date and then meet again 15 years later and start a relationship." Written and directed by Craig Chester (who also appears in the film),the film stars Parker Posey, Chris Kattan and Malcolm Gets. It will premiere in late April at New York's Tribeca Film Festival.

While assembling the soundtrack, Bottum felt it was "important to play it straight, musically," and modeled the music after the jazz sound of classic Woody Allen films, as well as such romantic comedies as "Arthur", "Heaven Can Wait" and "Private Benjamin". As a result, Bottum purposely avoided convention. "The film takes place in New York and that came into play musically in a big way," he says. "We felt it was better to play it highbrow than go with a lowbrow, juvenile rock score. I didn't want to use guitar at all — or drums." Lending her vocals on the song "Love, Love, Love" is none other than one-time (albeit extremely brief, and early in its career) FAITH NO MORE singer Courtney Love.
