Sounds of LOS ANGELES ; GRUNGE - GREENHOUSE EFFECT Clark Hagins 2008.
Myspace.com has been a strong tool that Greenhouse Effect use like a machine to spread their musical popularity in February 2009 as they have climbed into the top 100 "All time" of World 'alternative rock' bands, passing by many rock legends in the process.
"It just feels great" says Clark Hagins of the Greenhouse Effect "We love Myspace because their profiles look so professional and they put four or five or up to 8 songs out that fans can listen to,...Myspace has really helped Greenhouse Effect to achieve our musical dreams !"
Two of Greenhouse Effect's most popular songs are listened and downloaded heavily directly from their Myspace; The Morrisey like classic "Brandy" which sounds almost as if the Cure jammed with David Bowie and the bizarrely Guns n Roses meets Bruce Springsteen like Mega-hit "WHITE BLACK THANG' A LEGENDARY song from Los Angeles that has turned the search engine world of Google and Yahoo literally upside down with nearly 150 Million song plays in 2007, 2008, and 2009,...Strangely enough,..these two songs both sound and feel nothing like each other and infact almost sound as if they come from two entirely different and seperate bands altogether ! "But they're from the same group, " says Clark Hagins "Me and Ted recorded them all,...though i can't remember if Ted is on Brandy,...he may have been absent that day and i might have had to play the bass on that track (Laughs)" says Higgins.
Hagins says that he recommends that 'all' bands get on myspace and build a 'professional looking' myspace profile. "Myspace is very important,...the bottom line is a band has to have a great myspace profile and it has to load quickly" says Hagins
Greenhouse Effect use large email lists with millions of recipients in over 200 Countries as fans eagerly download and buy their music at i-tunes,..."the world support we get from the fans means so much to me,...God bless them" says Clark Hagins "especially all the great people in the UK who help G.e. - we want to go over there to London and play a show for Britain because of all of their kind words and support,...the fans in Ireland too ,..are super important,....
Hagins says it hasn't always been easy getting large support for his beloved G.e. ; "its been tough,...i was from a community back there in the South Bay where the people were raised on AYSO SOCCER and robotic shit,....Redondo beach and Torrance were very competitive communities but deep down,...they all know there that theres no one as good as me "
Greenhouse Effect are seen world wide and heavily downloaded as 'the world house band' now for the Hermosa Saloon bar in hermosa beach California in a now critical pre-Nirvana era live performance video where Clark hagins and the Greenhouse Effect seem to be stealing the MTV IMAGE OF KURT COBAIN !! "the only problem is,...is that video was shot a year before anyone had ever heard of Nirvana during the glam heavy metal days when everybody was busy playing cheesey weedily weedily guitar solos and worshopping people like Poison and Kevin Dubrow,....G.e. 'was' an 'alternative rock band' into stuff like the Pixies and the Stooges,...and we were calling people out - furthermore; we hated heavy metal " says haggins...
Everybody back in the South bay knows the deal,..the whole deal,...if they saw us jam with drummer Greg Tarpley at the Wilson Park festival in may 1991,...then they 'know' the truth ,..it was really G.e. who organized grunge rock in the media,...i was always communicating with record labels and magazines,....my brother Jeff and Flipper are both right on; ALOT OF GE SECRET IDEAS for emo rock marketing were stolen or 'augmented'.....or borrowed (Laughs) ......
"People back in the South bay like to talk about all the art and pictures i drew as a child,..i drew whole organized pictures when i was two and three years old that blew our family doctor away" says Hagins "Nobody could believe the shit i drew - like pictures of insects and trees and snails and shit,....it was like somebody on acid,....the doctor told my mom that i was 'beyond' genius levels - and that was when i was four !! I doubt seriously that Kurt Cobain could draw what i drew !! You ask ANYONE BACK IN THE SOUTH BAY !! IF I SAY that 'i' started grunge with Keegan back in 1986 and 87' well then you fuckin' better believe it - and DON'T DOUBT ME MY FRIEND !! JUST LISTEN TO OUR 1987 SONG 'RACERS' and look at the Hermosa Saloon footage my friend !! it ain't no joke,...and hey.,...just ask Bam Magazine, ; they'll fuckin' tell ya (Laughs),....
