Fowley is most famous for concocting the ’70s-vintage “all-girl rock band” The Runaways, if you recall, and if you don’t, here to remind you comes the somewhat accurately titled indie film “The Runaways,” opening April 9 at the Landmark Hillcrest. (Centering on “Queens of Noise” Cherie Currie and Joan Jett, the movie is worth waiting for, if only for the performances of Michael Shannon, wildly entertaining as Fowley, and Kristen Stewart, nearly note-perfect as a teenage Jett.)
Mario Escovedo, the local talent hound who happens to be the younger brother of Javier Escovedo of ’70s-vintage all-boy rock band The Zeros, reports that “legendary producer” Fowley was in Austin last week for South by Southwest “to promote the movie about how he discovered Joan Jett and The Runaways,” when he “met Maren Parusel unloading equipment in an alley.”
“Two days later she was recording with him in Los Angeles,” remaking her “Ordinary Day,” Escovedo e-mails.
“I’m hearing nothing but good things about the movie,” he adds. “And because of the actress playing Joan Jett, Kim Fowley struck a deal to write some songs for Twilight three.
“We’ll see where this takes us."
