136,671 Views - Youtube Video 2005. Redondo Beach California's Greenhouse Effect captured here at their early phase of 1987 and with the brilliant grunge guitar of Phil Keegan. The dark myopic lyrics here sung by a very sullen 22 year old Clark Haggnas seem to fore-see the 1990's invasion of indie and grunge rock - Way ahead of it's time. "We didn't like heavy metal very much,....We thought it was silly for the most part and categorical ....if there was a Great band like Rush or Iron Maiden or even Motley Crue,...we had to give those respect,...maybe even Poison - but we hated Skid Row completely and we didn't like all that Sunset Strip L.A. Glam stuff for the most part" Says Haggans. "Racers is a dark unhappy song...with even more miserable suicidal lyrics and Haggans says that the song perfectly reflects his life growing up in Redondo Beach Ca. "I was the last of 8 kids for the longest time until my little sister was born in 1976 and they did not respect or regard me,.....My talent in art, paintings, and Music was always huge and none of the other kids at school could understand why my family treated me like a Douchebag all the time,....kids at school did not want to come over to my house and visit me,....they thought it was too weird,...and potentially dangerous too ,...as my Brother Doug might vibe them (Laughs),...I poured all of my heart and soul into the music and "Racers" is a dark cut that really rocks,... it's grunge rock that is way ahead of it's time." The sullen mix of 'Racers' displays Phil Keegan Guitar in all of it's glory. The sloppy pissed off lead play and blurry angry wrthym work is as crazy as Greg Ginn from Black Flag ever got and Haggins' own surf drumming keeps up nicely to go with the menacing David Bowie like singing style. Rick Carmody's bass - as always - provides the Great Foundation here. "Racers' is a great 'in and out of it' kinda song" Says Haggins in 2008. "It's really great underground indie music..... it really shows the vision of G.e. ,...I went and got an attorney and we mailed it to every Label indie AND Major,....We knew that it was 'that' good and that important,... We knew how ahead of our time we were." Greenhouse Effect was a wild and energetic three piece band with a lead singing drummer and they always kept things quite unusual and different from other bands; "We would experiment,..... People say that we were always trying to sound like David Bowie but honestly, I don't think so,...We had entirely our own unique original Sound" Says Haggins. // Rock City Promotions - Worchester Massachusetts 2005.
