AUSTIN, TEXAS: On the first three Wednesdays of February, The Mohawk (inside) will be home to bonafide dance party mayhem courtesy of the all-star team that is Har Mar Superstar and Marijuana Deathsquads. And on the final Friday of the month, they are flying in a special guest headliner Polica for a blockbuster outside show. Tell your friends and get your tickets early. And feel free to take those Thursdays off, you’re going to need some recovery time!
NEW YORK: Har Mar Superstar / Marijuana Deathsquads will be the resident musicians at The Bowery Electric every Monday in October. There will be special new guests each week. All shows will be $8 in advance or $10 at door. Tell your friends!
Melinda Parks, Jonny Kelson & I are Fur Pillows (formerly Charles).
Our sound is ever-changing but tends to land somewhere in a post-traumatic goth world of soft noise with pop reachings for scrambled brains. David Lynch would be proud. A couple of singles and an LP are in the works and will hopefully see the light of day in 2012 on labels to be announced. Until then, please download your free mp3 of our first song made public: “I Need a New Girl (To Do Drugs With).” Enjoy it, and tell your friends about Fur Pillows!
Hey everyone! Monster Fresh made this group for me, and I think it’s rather ingenious. It worked for Betty White and SNL. I mean, I can picture myself as Slimer, Moranis’s son, the new Stay Puft… Become a fan and pass it on!
Hey, Everyone! Check me out covering Julian Casablancas for The Voice Project. Awesome charity! Filmed by Stacy Barnes in Salt Spring Island, BC. Pass it around. There are tons of other good clips on this page, too.
“We’re doing a George Michael cover, “One More Try” with Har Mar Superstar. I’m trying to put out a 7″ with the George Michael cover on one side and on the other a Bones Thugs ‘n’ Harmony remix,” Gayng’s Ryan Olson explains. “Most reviews of Gayngs or the album seem to reference George Michael so we thought it’d be cute to put it out. When can you hear it? We’re not a real band, so there’s no rush for us to do anything at all.” The cover of ‘One More Try’ will follow Gayngs’ take on Godley & Creme’s “Cry,” a highlight of their debut album, “Relayted.”
Would Gayngs like to to work with Michael? “Maybe he could do a duet with Har Mar Superstar. That’d be amazing. Har Mar killed it though, he did a really good job.”
Guys! I got a star on the wall of First Avenue, my favorite venue in the world! So psyched. Childhood dream come true. Yes, it’s where Purple Rain was filmed.
Oh my God! We just tore the soundstage of “Lopez Tonight” to shreds! It was the most fun I’ve ever had filming TV. See the carnage when it airs on Monday, August 9th. George Lopez himself and the crew were amazing, too. Thanks, guys.
My phone is blowing up because they played my jam “Tall Boy” at the VMAs. It came on after Cher presented Lady Gaga with the “Video Of The Year” Award … and right before Aziz Ansari introduced Kanye West.
I’ve been re-posting this like crazy today because I’m so proud of it! FREE DOWNLOAD of Gayngs and I covering George Michael’s “One More Try”. Please forward to your friends. Ladies are gonna freak out.
I have a role in The Sklar Brothers’ awesome new web series “Held Up.” The show features Jon Dore, Kaitlin Olson, Jason Sklar, Randy Sklar, Cyrus Farmer, Suzy Nakamura, and many others. It’s hilarious … like everything the Sklars do. Check it out!
Cedric LeMoyne, Orenda Fink, The LA Ladies Choir, Maria Taylor, Chris Holmes, Hunter Heaney, Aska Matsumiya & many others cover my Sean Na Na song, “Third Life.” So pretty. You guys all rule!

Check me out in the new La Sera video! I play the devil. Songwriter Katy Goodman (also of Vivian Girls) looks amazing too. Look for cameos by Blaque Chris, Dirty Preston, Jimmy Vincent, and many more! Share it with your friends. The song is the best! Directed by Vice Cooler.
