Remember Southgang?

This week has turned out to be one of the most stressful of my entire life. I won't bore you with the details, but let's just say I wish it was Friday instead of Thursday.

I was going through my archive, trying to find an obscure band that doesn't get much love around here. I've determined we all need to give Southgang a little attention.

Southgang was one of those bands that came on the scene at the tail end of the glam phenomenon. You know what I mean: the boys in the band had long hair and wore jeans and flannel in addition to their spandex. Southgang released two albums, Tainted Angel and Group Therapy. Neither were huge hits, but singles and video play did earn the band a little traction.

The most famous member of Southgang is probably guitarist Butch Walker. He's written music for a slew of artists, including Tommy Lee, Rockstar Supernova and the Donnas. You might remember Butch Walker from Rockstar Supernova, although that show was never as good as American Idol: that's a fact!

Anyway, I'm awfully tired so I hope you'll accept this short entry today.

Here's Southgang's video for their song "Tainted Angel" from the debut album of the same name. As always, give me your opinion.

Странно, искал совсем не это, но именно эта информация показалась мне наиболее актуальной.

I love glam and have devoted my life to the music, as a singer, a guitar player, writer, and producer. I would love to see it make a comeback as it appears, by the number of satellite stations, streaming stations, and web forums devoted to it, many people would.

Here's the problem: YOU aren't buying the records or enough concert tickets. A good number of those bands are still making records, but they are getting little support from "fans".

If you want glam to matter in the USA again, loosen your purse strings/ wallet chains (blech) and make it economically viable for the labels again. Aside from the old bands we love there are many new bands in Scandanavian countries doing glam/ sleaze. They all would love to break here, but again they need support.

If anyone wants to support an artists music, pick an artist or more and go buy. If anyone is interested in what I'm doing I'm on ReverbNation, itunes, play store, spotify, iheartradio, deezer, etc...
