Currently in production is the upcoming indie horror film The Dinner Guest from the good folks over at Night Walker Cinema and we’re pleased to be giving fans their very first look at the project today with the exclusive debut of the film’s first trailer.

Much like the actual March Madness tournament, MTV's second annual Musical March Madness brackets are filled with upstart bands looking to shock the world.

Everywhere you looked this year, there were unknown acts making big moves — everyone from Mumford & Sons and Florence and the Machine to the Black Keys and Cage the Elephant — but perhaps no band went from obscurity to the big time quite like Sleigh Bells. The Brooklyn duo broke out with their squalling, squelching debut Treats.

So it should probably come as no surprise that, as we gear up for the tipoff of the 2011 Mmm on Monday, the Bells are making preparations for a deep run in the tournament. And, in keeping with the spirit of dark-horse contenders like the...
