Vimeo's Rocking Videos - Greenhouse Effect 'Star' 1990 - Los Angeles Ca Monster Indie Rock. "Star" is the monster Song from the February 1991 Album "Going Legit" that has exploded to huge success on the internet since 2004 for Greenhouse Effect. The three piece band crafted this song shortly after parting ways with Los Angeles Mega-Guitarist Phil Keegan as Drummer_Clark_Hagins suddenly took over upfront playing the six strings as deftly as he had drummed in G.e. since 1985 along side funny red head bassist Rick Carmody and Keegan. The World's Most Watched Band hit their niche long ago in the "South Bay" area of Redondo Beach California as "Star", Ben is Dead, and Hey Negrita changed the band's fortunes in early 1991 - And started a musical revolution inside the entertainment industry; "We were the Hottest band in Los Angeles in 1990 and 1991" Says Clark Haggins "We bought up massive advertising all over Bam and Music Connection magazines,.... our sound was totally revolutionary ,...and we really were rock's original organized Grunge_Rock_Band !!" - Long before Nirvana and "Smells Like Teen Spirit", G.e. were getting big attention with 30 minute live versions of their classic "Hey Negrita" and it's massive Neil Young and the Stooges inspired power chords; "We were an indie band of epic proportions and we were on the verge of greatness,...that's when Seattle suddenly hit,..and we quickly disappeared from hero to Zero,....by January 1992, ...our once red hot band ,..was suddenly quickly on the back burners of rock,....Soon, we were almost completely forgotten as Seattle grunge took over,...Pearl Jam and all that shit,... We tried to put out new songs to get attention and we hit with some great new ideas in "Addicted' and "Shes A Bitch" as well as "White Suburban Liars',..but we couldn't sustain the momentum ,...and before I knew it,..everybody quit,..and it was over by January 1993 Completely" Says Haggins. "Star" was a long genius song as it is loaded with Songwriter Parts galore and some great guitar playing and magical lead singing from Hagins; "Our style of mixing David Bowie with the Who and punk suddenly lost it's luster,...everybody was getting into Kroq type Music in 1993 and 94' ,...that's when i knew it was over and I realized I had long quit." As a good bye present to no one in particular, G.e. shot about 4 or 5 hilarious 'videos' in Late 1992 in the freezing cold of the November December winter in El Segundo California's Jet City Sound Studios; "All I remember is it was freezing cold and we were all being filmed leaping around to "Manipulation" and "White Black Thang",...and we never sweated,..it was like 41 Degrees in that studio and I remember Ted's red hair was really brightened by the bright studio Lights (Laughs),...I remember I paid Ted some money to show and I asked him to remain in the band and as he was getting into his car he just said; "Dude,...it's over,.." and he drove away. The early 1991 'Going Legit' album would probably be G.e's defining moment as it was their first album without Keegan but indeed was a powerful collection of Clark Hagins' home studio guitar and lyric catchy classics he had built up over the years; "While we played with Keegan,..I already had "Ben is Dead" and "Star" ready to go,..I may have played them to Phil and he probably just Laughed." The Most distinctive brilliant song from 'Legit' was definitely "Hey Negrita" an unhinged story about a man with a Prostitute that is quite melodically disturbing but mandatory listening indeed; "Hey Negrita was from the story of Maury - The Lad insane _ who came home from America's 1990 War in Iraq against Saddam Hussein ,...and he had no friends as he lived homeless on the streets of San Pedro California,... it is probably G.e's most amazing song and really our only Legendary anthem" Says Haggins. The Long Neil young "Like a hurricane" like song literally defines G.e. as it predicts the sounds of Nirvana and Pearl jam and the 1990's to come. G.e. was way ahead of the curve as usual; "We were heavily influenced by a South Bay band called 'A Noise Agency',..they trully were the original Nirvana and they were from way back in 1985 in Lomita and Harbor City Ca" Says Haggins. Bands like the Minutemen and SSt Records other acts heavily impacted Hagins and briefly he lead sang with the band SWA in 1989; "I was way into indie alternative rock,...it really is true,..Greenhouse Effect is the original grunge band,..I was desperately sending all my band pictures and songs to all the Labels and I was imploring them to sign us and our new ideas !!" Says Haggins. Greenhouse Effect never got a record deal and much of the world has forgot about them but they Live on in cyberspace of the internet and Hagins sees a bright future for a band that is long disbanded; "People will always look to us as leaders and me as the king,....We're a great band with the greatest songs,...nobody can change that or ever take it away from this three piece band !!!!"

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-rock-opera-white-suburban/id298711277 - Web-Traffic Biggest Greenhouse-Effect-Songs 'Manipulation' Carmody-Hagins-Karlson Final Sessions 1992 El Segundo Ca - One of the Last Projects involving The Greenhouse Effect and their Music were these Hilarious "Music Videos" shot in the dead of winter November December 1992. The hugely Trafficed Web Band usually known for "Brandy" and "White Black Thang" as well as "Star" explode here with another Winner in "Manipulation" as the funny antics of Clark-Haggins and Ric Carmody Lead the way along with comical Drummer Palle Karlson to the high energy track; "People say unanimously that this song rips off the 1964 Song by the Four Seasons - I don't care" Says Haggins. "It's still a great classic song that displays why G.e. is the best band on the internet !!,...We get your attention with humor and melodies!! http://rightwingwackjob.blogspot.com/ At the time of this video shoot, G.e. were a band that was finished as Bassist Ric Carmody had officially Left the band and joined a local Punk Rock outfit called The One Handed Readers who rehearsed in North Redondo Beach Ca while Hagins and his project were in the Southern Part of the city near Torrance Beach; "I don't think way back then that People realized just how great and genius that G.e. was and still is" Says Higgins. "Our image was key and very important ,...we had a magic trio special "Something." - http://rightwingwackjob.blogspot.com/ "We were and still are an amazing band and today in the 2000's, the internet really Proves all of our points,...People crank up the Songs and they see that G.e. "Is" Rock n Roll !!" http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-rock-opera-white-suburban/id298711277 - The band started out in 1985 in their classic and usual three piece band format with Mega-Guitarist Phillip Keegan Leading the way and "Inventing grunge rock" with a Capital I !!! as "Precarious", "Number One", and "Racers" as well as the band's cover of the Yardbird's "Think About it" ruled the indie underground of Flipside Magazine and Ben is Dead. Clark Hagins would become the band's Defacto "Manager" and he would painstakenly mail in Tapes to Record Labels and Magazines alike, often getting Top attorney's to do his dirty work and get G.e. tapes through the doors of Emi Records and every Label from Geffen to Sony to A & M and beyond deep in the early years of 1988 and 87'; "We just knew in those early days - Me and Keegan knew it - That we were the greatest band in the world ,..we were completely revolutionary ,..we mixed the Who with Zeppelin with Black Flag with the Yardbirds with Garage rock to indie rock perfection !! And we did it all as just a three piece with me on drums..." When Playing Live, Greenhouse Effect exploded as Keegan often showed at a gig wearing "What-ever-he-was-wearing-that-day" and hammered his guitar,..often wearing knee pads and high hiving the crowd alongside funny looking red head bassist Carmody as Haggins shouted some excellent powerful lead vocals - ALL FROM THE DRUM KIT !!!,...whilst Playing Like Keith Moon ????.... "Yeah,..you had to see it" Says Hagins "We were amazing,....and I was 21 years old and shit,.." Later on, in 1990's Late summer...the band would mutually part-ways with the mighty Keegan and Hagins the great drummer suddenly moved up to Guitar ???? Yes !! Along with the newly found in the Recycler Musician's NewsPaper Powerhouse Drummer Martin Silva; "When we suddenly got Marty in G.e. ,..me and Ted and this guy took things to an entirely new Level and we became born again as this amazing three piece band sorta like the Jamesgang or Grand Funk Railroad,.... We were suddenly this high energy band on stage with me now leading the way - we were more amazing than ever !!" Silva would eventually leave the band after a great gig at Nomad's Club in Los Angeles but a gig where only a tiny crowd showed; "That night in March 1992 sucked" Says Higgins. "We put on a killer three piece show but none of our crowd showed,..and the next day, Marty quit,....that's when we started rockin' with this guy named Palle that you might all know from your computer (Laughs)" Palle Karlson was a friend of the band who often hung out at G.e rehearsals but that Hagins questioned was good enough on drums to be in the band; "When I heard Palle drum,..I realized he was more than passable to be in the band,....So we just hired him and right away he became the "Coolest" guy in the band because he was such an emo nerd,..so geeky WITH GLASSES ,...he totally built the image that made us rock out in the "White Black Thang" videos in late 92'. The band finally called it quits as Carmody left for good and no music was recorded in 1993 as Hagins left music himself; "After 8 years and no record label interest,...I just gave up and it's a bummer,..because it wasn't over,..we got out at a bad time because indie rock and punk were exploding all over California and the South Bay,...but by that point, I was mentally tired from it all,..I was emotionally spent and finished...there was no way I was gonna play music again as I was turning 30 soon,..in those days,..that was very old age (Laughs)." Today , Greenhouse Effect Music Videos are extremely Popular in Over 200 Countries from Japan to Russia to Pakistan and Hagins sees no let up for the World's Most Watched band; "We're rock Gods now with a Capital G,...People want our Links and embeds everywhere and all over the world I see our films splattered every where and in every Search Engine - this is scary for me,...I'm recognized nearly everywhere I go as that "Guy with all the surfing videos (Laughs),..and all I am is a simple swimming pool cleaner lowly dude,...and I don't even know how to Surf !!! I can't even swim !!." - ROCK CITY RECORDS BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-rock-opera-white-suburban/id298711277
