Actually Huizenga and Hazel Hill team up to give you sexy golden girl vampire bowie nightmares this Halloween! Don’t question, just watch!
I was looking for an appropriate Golden Girls quote for this post, but I couldn’t really find one. This one made me laugh:
Blanche: You know what the worst part about getting older is?
Dorothy: Your face, Rose’s hands?
How can you not??? Elton and Myles are too modest to post here about their own shows so once again I’m here to tell you all about their awesome shows. Hard Place and The Passionistas under the same roof at Smile! After having gone to all these theme parties down in LA (like this or this), I’m thinking about how we really need one up here. So, I haven’t discussed this with the club or the bands and I’m totally making this up, but this show is totally the “Wet Dream Before Halloween” party, so dress like that! Oh, OK. I’ll stop.

So if you’re singing to a stuffed raccoon in your video, you’ve kinda already won. People wonder why I don’t like “inde bands.” It’s because they’re never able to make a video as awesome as Hard Place. They’re also not smart enough to make web 2.0 jokes with their video descriptions and tags. God inde rock. Grow an iPhone for a brain already. hel~lo. Long live Hard Place and all their painfully nostalgic flashbacks and dream sequences.
It was the my fair lady beyond thunderdome party. Come on San Francisco, you’re not carrying your weight in the theme party department!
Fan videos are the best. Fans are so scary. Don’t EVER tell them that.
Actually Huizenga – 5 Guys chopped & screwed by the Passionistas
Actually Huizenga makes me upset. She is extremely productive, good at everything, younger than me… and makes out with more guys. I stumbled upon her song “5 Guys” via MySpace about a week ago. And. I have to be honest, I am usually not touched by any music via MySpace -BUT- “5 Guys” got to me 4 real. Still- it wasn’t good enough. So I changed it.
Presenting Actually Huizenga’s “5 Guys” chopped & screwed by the Passionistas. It’s WAY better than the original. And it’s a WFISF exclusive.
If you’re wondering who I am, my name is Myles. I’m new here. I ran into the blogboys at Lady last night and they asked me to contribute. I’m gonna be posting remixes, reviews, LOLZ, full body shots, and like whatevers. So leave me alone and download this song blogasaurus.
A few weeks ago we went down to the OC & LA for some shows with Hard Place, remember? You didn’t think we weren’t going to share our California adventure did you? Its totally cool for me to write about Hard Place since I’m not in the band. Seriously!
Actually, there isn’t much to write about for the first portion of our trip. Elton is sick and I get to drive us down to the OC for a half an hour show at The Clinic. Originally this was supposed to be a five band bill with Curls and The Bubonic Plague, but Curls broke up (total trauma 2007 I guess) and The Bubonic Plague miss a lot of shows. The plague will take it out of you. We get there and its almost hilarious how disorganized it is — “Oh… Hard Place… um, I guess there’ll be three bands playing tonight then”. Except not really since one of the other bands was Actually Huizenga, otherwise known as Ashley from Hard Place because the club got the band’s name wrong.
FYI, traffic was terrible. It took us three hours to get from just north of LA down to Huntington Beach. The rest of Hard Place leave around six and we’re worried if there’s really only one band playing tonight. But they showed up around the same time as us because, as it was explained to me, of the influx of the wave. They also bring news that Logo Moi is playing so we’re up to three bands! Then we wait for a long time in the car and watch a weird Chinese man.
First up is Ploon whose myspace page I had a hard time finding — “Its easy, its spelled like it sounds!”, except I thought Ploon would be spelled Plune. What do I know? Anyway, these guys do a noise thing and had the privilege of performing it for hard place and me and the nice people working at The Clinic and nobody else. I have a love/hate relationship with the noise but these guys bring a much needed sense of humor to the affair. Its almost performance art. Check this clip, it’ll explain it better than I can and its hilarious:
Apparently, and sadly, this was their last show since one of them is moving back east. Just remember that the next time you think you should sit at home instead of go out to a show. But, word on the street is that Ploon will continue as Ploon-D and Ploon-B, with each member taking on their respective coast.
Logo Moi hasn’t shown up so next is Hard Place and now they have the privilege of playing for me and Ploon. And they were super good. Does that happen to you, the things you do are always super awesome when nobody’s looking? Anyway, Logo Moi appear right at the end of the set and are excited to see Hard Place and that they made it and decide to play even though nobody is there to watch them because those kids are super fun. Except we left because we had to get the sick one to bed. Sad. But its cool because there’s another show with hard place and Logo Moi in LA and there’ll be more on that soon!
