Couple's song used in trailer and pilot episode of Humanzee! Whee!

Malaysian band Couple's song 'Now That I Can See' is featured in American web series Humanzee.

Microsoft announced that Humanzee is part of an effort to marry comic and horror together, and a set of short film pilots will be made available for free download at Xbox Live.

The project features films directed by horror masters like David Slade, Andrew Douglas and Marcus Nispel. James Gunn (Slither, Dawn Of The Dead) directs and stars in Humanzee, which tells the story about a man and his human-chimp hybrid son–hence the name. Oh, the movie also stars James' brother Sean Gunn (of Gilmore Girls). It's a mix of South Park, Wonder Showzen and Small Wonder, so keep a lookout for it. More here.

We were so excited we just had to find out more from lead singer Aidil of Couple. Here's what went down:

Jolyn: hi Aidil
aidil is finally his own boss!: hi jolyn!
Jolyn: congrats on Couple being featured in Humanzee =)
aidil is finally his own boss!: thanks!
aidil is finally his own boss!: we're ecstatic over here about it!
Jolyn: how did the song get featured, in the first place?
aidil is finally his own boss!: the director, James Gunn, likes our music. He's put the song as his myspace profile song a few months back. and suddenly a few weeks ago he wrote me asking whether he can use the song for the series.
aidil is finally his own boss!: so, of course i said yes, and then he put his producer in touch with me to take care of the contract etc
Jolyn: how'd James Gunn find out about the band? cause of Rolling Stones?
Jolyn: cool, are you guys getting paid for this?
aidil is finally his own boss!: He's a power pop fan!
aidil is finally his own boss!: And can I plead "No comment" to that 2nd question? Hehehe
Jolyn: haha, sure
Jolyn: so, now, with Humanzee being a tie in with comedy and horror, and your song being titled 'Now That I Can See,' can you tell us the funniest/scariest thing you ever saw?
aidil is finally his own boss!: In a movie or in real life? LOL
Jolyn: real life =p or if you think nothings beat what youve seen in a movie, go ahead
aidil is finally his own boss!: i think if i did see something scary in real life, there's got to be a mental block somewhere preventing me from recalling it
aidil is finally his own boss!: hehehe
Jolyn: haha ok
aidil is finally his own boss!: but if we're talking movies, The Return Of The Living Dead is pretty scary/funny at the same time
aidil is finally his own boss!: and of course, Slither, which also adds 'gross' to the equation
Jolyn: so, you are a James Gunn fan =)
aidil is finally his own boss!: haha yes! which makes this a whole lot sweeter!
Jolyn: we also found out that porn star Jenna Haze is in the trailer. any thoughts about that?
aidil is finally his own boss!: gets you 'excited' thinking about it, doesn't it? but there's another girl in it, her name's Mikaela Hoover, now that's what i call a beautiful woman!
Jolyn: haha, good answer
Jolyn: one more question: your MSN nick says you're finally your own boss. tell us more
aidil is finally his own boss!: oh, it just means that i'm not working for anyone no more! i'm doing my own firm now! [Aidil is a lawyer full-time]
Jolyn : oh, congrats. and tell the rest of the band congratulations too, from Junk
aidil is finally his own boss!: thanks to you too!
