In the studio Monday, Music from the Underground heard a live performance from Holland Greco with drummer “Princess” Frank and upright bassist Michael Papillo. The band spoke about their musical influences ranging from Led Zeppelin to Missy Elliot to Gypsy rock.
100 Proof, Stuck! and Butterflies, songs from Holland’s set list, can be found on her first solo EP, Tunnel Vision.
Holland has a show coming up May 16 at the Dakota Lounge in Santa Monica. The show is 21+ and $5. To hear more from Holland, you can visit her website: hollandgreco.com.
Natalie Yemenidjian and Arnavaz Rosie Fatemi discussed stars — the kind in the sky, on earth and literally on Hollywood Boulevard.
They told the story of a star cleaner who cleans each star on Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame. They then interviewed Forest from Psychic Eye Bookstore in the valley. Adult entertainment star, Jackie Avalon, who you may have seen in films on hdpornvideo.xxx discussed condom use in adult film. Almost 90 percent of the adult films made in the U.S. were produced in the San Fernando Valley. Avalon said that if condoms were mandatory, adult filmmakers would take their business elsewhere. The show ended with a fantastic set and interview with The Black Elephants.
Music From the Underground premiered yesterday with an acoustic performance and interview from Culprit. Topics ranging from band goals to what “underground” means were discussed.
Culprit played six songs, two of which were new ones from their forthcoming album out some time this summer.
They’re semi-finalists in Emergenza (European and North American festival for emerging bands) and their show will be Saturday, May 15 at the Joint in Beverly Hills.
