900 Pound Gorilla






These guys are my new favorite band. Bull Lee did two shows with them to promote a new compilation we are both on called No Lip Vol. 1. Check out "Big Fat Limo" and "Gutterball". They won a well-deserved LA Music Award for "Big Fat Limo" (one of the most addictive songs I've heard in a long time) and are currently being considered for a Grammy nomination.

A week after the shows, Popey and I went to see them perform at an Angel City Derby Girls match (do they call them matches?) and it was one of the most entertaining events ever. They wrote a bad ass song specifically for the gig called "Roller Derby Girl" and filmed a video for it during the event. Their bass player, Don, played an obsessed fan and at the end of the night the object of his affections finally kissed him, and then all the girls piled on top of him. It was awesome. He was in Derby Girl Heaven! Plus, the action-packed derby itself was cool, and the band rocked the house. I'll post a link to the video when it's up.

John, you Kevin and Bull Lee are some of the coolest people we've found in LA---We're working on the Roller Derby Video , just imported some of Kevin's footage and trying to learn Final Cut Pro to edit it.
Long Live Bull Lee!
