Ray Parker Jr. and The BusBoys with Special Guest Otis Day threw a Ghostbusters Halloween Party this past October and are already gearing up for a big Halloween bash
in 2012.

Ray Parker Jr., The BusBoys and Otis Day, are three of Americas premier rock, roll and soul artists. They are best known for their iconic appearances in the three classic Hollywood blockbuster films, "Ghostbusters", "48 HRS." and "Animal House" respectively. Together, they represent the legacy of the best in Soundtracks from the 80s and will be doing selected dates around the country this year.

The BusBoys are finishing new recordings for release in 2012. All of the songs on the new CD are about stories of Brian and his family growing up in Los Angeles. The new single "City's On Fire" was inspired by Brian's memories of the Watts/LA riots. It's got an urban groove with some surprising influences.

The song is featured in a new documentary Brian and the band are working on entitled "Freeway City: Portrait of an L.A. Suburb." The film is about the City of Gardena, where Brian grew up and went to school. Brian said "I'm glad to be doing a project that highlights the place the band got started and that gives me a chance to reconnect with so many of my old friends and stomping grounds." The film is supported by the Normandie Casino, and other local business and community leaders in Gardena, including former Assemblyman Paul Bannai and Councilman Ronald K. Ikejiri.
The film is scheduled for a summer 2012 release.

The band is also working on a documentary about the Ghostbusters movies. As you may know, The BusBoys were nominated for a Grammy for the song "Cleanin' Up The Town" from the original Ghostbusters film. The new documentary, "Cleaning Up The Town: Remembering Ghostbusters" is being produced by British company Bueno Productions, under the direction of Anthony and Claire Bueno. Anthony is a gifted director and has successfully interviewed the Ghostbusters cast, crew and production team including director Ivan Rietman, singer Ray Parker and Brian O'Neal. Brian is also composing the soundtrack and the band was recently filmed doing their Grammy nominated track for inclusion in the documentary. "We wanted to do something live and intimate, so we sat in my living room around the piano and recorded the song. It's The BusBoys making music in the spirit of the true soul of rock and roll," says Brian.
