Unisex Salon Roids

Well I made it back to LA in one piece, so here is a recap of the Unisex show in roids.  The band killed it and thanks again to them for their hospitality.  They signed my insert during lunch on my last day in the big city, down the street from the cafe where Jonny and Ant first met.  I have more Unisex cd’s so if you are in the business and would like a copy, please let me know: caro@hihicaro.com.  Stick to the Unisex sites for upcoming show info.

Indie 103.1 Jonesy’s Jukebox

For those of you who tuned in on Wednesday, you may have heard Roy and Ant interviewing with Steve Jones on Indie 103.1’s Jonesy’s Jukebox.  They talked a bit about the Spacehog reunion and played live acoustic songs.  If you missed it, don’t fret, I missed it too… although I spoke to Ant afterwards and he was very excited.  Some links from the show:

Unisex Salon

Unisex Salon
New Album 10-18-08
An overdue post… For the newcomers, Unisex Salon is the fabulous Kenyon Phillips, Jonny Cragg, Royston Langdon, Stephen Phillips, and Brian Gumbel.  Their first release is out October 18th, 2008 celebrated by a release show at Mercury Lounge, NY on the same date.  Both Kenyon and Jonny were in the studio during the hog’s stay in LA working hard on new tracks… which turned out to be a very happy coincidence for me because I was spoiled rotten having them here.  Go buy the record and see them live! 
In other news, I am hosting Sweet Streets which is an LA art expo and afterparty sponsored by Hi-Fructose Magazine and other lucky people, dj’d by We.R.D.2 and friends.  It’s our excuse to party, I ain’t gonna lie.  Add Sweet Streets on Myspace to stay informed at www.myspace.com/sweetstreetsla.

Spacehog Official Myspace

www.myspace.com/spacehogmusic

Spacehog registered their new Myspace the other day, and I just got it up and going. Still working on a few things, but I am happy to say that the band now has their own online space to post blogs, songs, and pictures to their heart’s content. I put up all of my polaroids from this week in the studio.  Jonny took some great ones too.  If you are wondering what all the video cameras are for, it’s a surprise. Go add Spacehog on Myspace!

Spacehog In The Studio

 From left to right: Ant and Richard; Roy recording bass; The buttons that make the hit songs; Jonny on the drums at Viper Room.  

As you know, Spacehog is working hard on new tracks this week.  I took alot of cute pics (boys, thanks again for always being so sweet).  Spacehog’s official myspace should be up soon. I’m sure that once it is, they’ll be able to add new songs and fill you in on the happenings.  I got a couple emails about the earthquake and everyone is perfectly fine, thanks for asking.  If you are a venue, studio, label, etc interested in the band, send word to the Arckid myspace for now.  Don’t forget, they are playing Troubador on Friday night.

Keep on hoggin’ on. xoxo

We.R.D.2

I am so proud of these boys, so hopefully they won’t mind the leak.  Jonny and Legs renamed the DJ Arckid wing, now going by We.R.D.2, and have been quite busy.  They have finished a remix for the B-52’s single “Juliet of the Spirits”, which is next in line after the “Funplex” EP.  B-52’s, in case you haven’t heard, released their new record “Funplex” in March (more info at: http://www.astralwerks.com/b-52s). If you would like to keep up to date on Chris, Jonny, Roy, or Ant and what events they are attending/djing/etc around NY, you can visit their Fame Game profiles.  Here are the links for Jonny and Chris.

Lost Footage

Wow, long time since I’ve posted on a hog site!  I am currently looking for lost footage of Spacehog that didn’t appear on the For Spacehog DVD.  I had a compilation of it all at some point, but it’s gone missing (many apologies to the fan who made that for me).  Please email me at caro@hihicaro.com if you have anything to share.  I’m sure we will do our best to post it.  A big thanks to Bill for putting the site together, and for letting me abuse my blog privilege.  All four of our favorite hogs are doing well and keeping busy.  I encourage everyone to keep visiting.
Keep hoggin’.  xoxo
