UNIVERSAL CABLE PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS BEAR MCCREARY: THE MUSIC OF
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA AT COMIC CON JULY 23-25

HOSTED BY EDWARD JAMES OLMOS (THURS/FRI) AND GRACE PARK (FRI/SAT)

La-La Land Records to Release Battlestar Galactica: Season 4
Soundtrack July 28

Burbank, CA - June 30, 2009– Universal Cable Productions presents Bear
McCreary and the music from Battlestar Galactica for three nights at
the House of Blues in San Diego from July 23-25th – during Comic Con!
The concerts will be hosted by Admiral William 'Husker' Adama himself,
Edward James Olmos (on Thursday and Friday) and Grace “Boomer” Park
(on Friday and Saturday).  The concerts will celebrate the July 28
release of a special 2-CD set, Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.  La-La
Land Records is releasing the Battlestar Galactica: Season 4
soundtrack through a license agreement with NBC Universal Television,
DVD, Music and Consumer Products Group.

Battlestar Galactica: Season 4 will be available in stores nationwide
and online on www.lalalandrecords.com and www.amazon.com. The two-CD
soundtrack will feature music from seasons 4.0 and 4.5 and the music
from “Daybreak,” the stunning series finale. Also available from La-La
Land Records are McCreary’s soundtracks for Battlestar Galactica
Seasons 1, 2, and 3, Caprica and Eureka.

UCP Presents Bear McCreary: The Music of Battlestar Galactica will
feature special guest hosts and surprise celebrity appearances.
Special Battlestar Galactica merchandise will also be available for
sale at the concerts.  La-La Land Records will be selling copies of
the soundtrack for Caprica, and all of the Battlestar Galactica
soundtracks, including advance copies of Season 4.

In addition to general admission tickets, a limited number of VIP
tickets are available for all three nights.  VIP Tickets include
special entry and access to the hosted VIP-only balcony seating, bar
and Delta Lounge, a meet-and-greet and autograph signing with McCreary
and the BSG band, and a VIP gift bag which includes the Caprica
Soundtrack CD.

"Bear McCreary’s music was an integral part of the re-invention of
Battlestar Galactica. Its complexity, depth, and breadth helped
elevate the series beyond a simple ‘Space Opera.’ We couldn’t be more
excited to see Bear’s music embraced by fans and music aficionados as
something to be celebrated on its own," said Mark Stern, EVP, Original
Programming, SCI FI Channel and Co-Head, Original Content, Universal
Cable Productions.

The emcee the first two nights, Edward James Olmos agrees.  “The day
has finally come when I will be able to experience live the sights and
sounds of Bear and his friends.  Wow.... what a privilege!"

“This great series has come to an end, but I'm thrilled that my
original score can live on in soundtrack albums and on the concert
stage,” said McCreary.  “I can think of no audience who will
appreciate the shows more than the fans at Comic Con, and I am
grateful to UCP for this opportunity to bring the music of Battlestar
Galactica directly to them.”

Season 4 composer McCreary was recently called one of the top 10
composers “that make space adventures epic” by www.io9.com.  His work
on the television series Battlestar Galactica has been described as
offering “some of the most innovative music on TV today,” by Variety,
and his blog www.bearmccreary.com/blog, which features in-depth inside
looks at the process of scoring Battlestar Galactica, was called "one
of the best blogs in the business. It's a fascinating look at the
process of making music for film and television and the care he takes
with aligning the score with the twists and turns of each character's
plot lines," by The Hollywood Reporter.

McCreary’s feature film credits include Wrong Turn 2 and the Rest Stop
films.  He also scores the series Eureka and Terminator: The Sarah
Connor Chronicles and will be scoring the upcoming SCI FI series, and
Battlestar Galactica prequel, Caprica and the Capcom video game Dark
Void.  McCreary was among a handful of select protégés of late film
music legend Elmer Bernstein and is a classically trained composer
with degrees in Composition and Recording Arts from the prestigious
USC Thornton School of Music.
