Lost 80’s Live Roars at Hothouse Rehearsal Studios



Thursday night all of us at the studio were witness to an incredible concert rehearsal in studio 1 “the auditorium”. We had the privileged of hosting tour rehearsals for 80’s powerhouses: When in Rome, Real Life (just in from Australia) and The Escape Club.

The Escape Club performed their number 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart "Wild, Wild West" then fresh in from Melbourne, Australia Real Life breaks into an incredible version of "Send Me an Angel" then our good friend Rob Juarez and When in Rome started playing "The Promise" their monster single from their self-titled debut album. “The Promise” was an instant success, barely missing the Top Ten in the United States, peaking at #11.

The Lost 80’s Live show with When in Rome, Real Life, The Escape Club, The Motels, Animotion, A Flock of Seagulls, Dramarama and Gene Loves Jezebel just performed this weekend to sold out shows at the Mandalay Bay Hotel (The Beach) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The reviews of the show are awesome.

Dramarama

Described by VH1 as blending hard rock wallop, alternative rock smarts, power pop song craft, and punk rock urgency, Dramarama has a devoted following. Their hit single “Anything, Anything (I’ll Give You),” from the album Cinéma Vérité, is perhaps Dramarama’s most recognizable song. It became a number-one hit on KROQ, becoming a staple of alternative radio airplay, and even today is one of the most requested songs in KROQ’s history. It has been featured in the box office success A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.

Following the local L.A. success of “Anything, Anything,” the band permanently packed up and relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles. Their most recent album is “Everybody Dies”

Troy High School Battle of the Bands Fundraiser
Dramarama Hothouse Rehearsal Studios

Today February 4, 2010 Troy High School in Fullerton, Ca will be holding a fund raising Battle of the Bands at Plummer Auditorium in Fullerton, 201 E Chapman Ave Fullerton, CA 92832 (714) 626-3890. The show starts at 6:30pm is an all ages event and the ticket cost is $10 at door. Special performance by Dramarama.

All proceeds benefit the Troy Special Ed. Department.
Dramarama will be judging the contest as well as playing a few tunes. Hothouse Studios is sponsoring the prizes for the event.

When: Thursday February 4, 2010 at 6:00pm
Where:
Plummer Auditorium
201 E Chapman Ave Fullerton, CA 92832
(714) 626-3890
Cost: $10 at the door.

First Place Prize: Music video of the band.
First Runner Up: Audio recording.
Second Runner Up: 2 free hours of rehearsal time at Hothouse Studios in Santa Fe Springs, Ca.

Why is Hothouse sponsoring a high school fund raising event? First, Hothouse Rehearsal Studios supports education for our young people and especially the great work being done at Troy. Secondly, Hothouse Studios was established to help our local talent achieve their goals. Thirdly, Hothouse Studios is a community business and supports the community through fund raising activities such as this.

Troy High School is the alma mater of Social Distortion and what great group will emerge from this year’s Battle of the Bands is anyone’s guess. Come on down to the show and take a look for yourself.

Troy High is well known for being one of the top 30 High Schools in the country, as well as having the #1 computer science program in the world, yes, the world. What is less known is that Troy has a stellar, absolutely second-to-none Special Education Department.

The teachers, staff, and administrators not only do what they can to help make high school the rewarding academic experience it should be, but they also give an enormous amount of their hearts and time to help give the students in the Special Ed program many social and recreational opportunities--dances, parties, camping trips, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, trips to San Diego things that typical high school kids take for granted.

In the past, the department was able to raise their own funds to pay for these adventures so that there was zero or minimal cost to students--many of whom are in foster care or group homes and would otherwise be unable to attend--but the rules have changed and they are no longer able to raise these funds themselves. The Troy ASB has graciously agreed to give the proceeds from the Battle of the Bands to the Special ED Dept.

If you are at all able, please come out and give your support.

You Can Hide, but You Can't Run from the "Rundown"

Back from parts unknown (apparently an empty warehouse somewhere) returned our old friends, the hottest young raggae-rock band in the southland, "Rundown." Manny (guit), Mike (bass), Hector (drum), and Joven (voc/guit) play a choice selection of originals and covers (both traditional and new wave) that not only rock, but grooooove too (think "Sublime," or "311"). One of my personal favorites to ever grace the halls of the Hothouse, "Rundown" is in the process of completing their newest recordings, and will be playing the Key Club next month. Check them out!

Don't be a Drama(rama) Queen!

Tonight, "Dramarama" is currently in our Studio M. Nights like these blow my mind just a little bit. What a pleasure and gift it is to work here when the studio is graced by rock and roll professionals such as these, not only to bask in their reflected professional glow, but also to learn a little from them. And what I've learned so far is that even if you've travelled around the world, played for thousands upon thousands of people, written a hit song, and even played for Ellen (Degeneres) as her special guest on her freakin' birthday, you can still be a cool, mellow, amiable cat, and even bum a ciggarette to a lowly know-nothing, done-nothing shmoe like myself. Thanks guys.

Dramarama
Gives Ellen De Generes
A Million Dollar Performance

Did you see Dramarama on the Ellen De Generes show today? If you did, you saw them give Ellen a million dollar performance of “Anything Anything (I’ll Give You)”. Mark, Pete, Mike and Tony were cranking out the music and John gave a spectacular vocal performance. His voice was so clear and strong. While I was watching I could feel the power and the energy of the song being transmitted through my TV. I can image what the live audience felt. They must have been blown away. Maybe a friend recorded it or you can find it on the net, but you’ve got to see this performance.

Why are bands using Hothouse Rehearsal? Here’s what they’re telling us. “The equipment always works”. “Has the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a rehearsal studio”. “The staff is super attentive.” “Best sounding and maintained rehearsal rooms.” But mostly they say it’s because the “Hothouse cares about the artist and their rehearsal”. You owe it to your band to come tour the hothouse facility and find out for yourself.
