Hard Place is one of the hottest bands on LA’s underground scene. Their live shows are always fun and full of debauchery, and definitely cannot be missed. Freddy, Huizenga, and Tom writhe on a minotaur rug making that music of passion, pursuing endlessly their gracious prey!
Since joining Hard Place in 2004, Huizenga has actually pumped new blood into the band, taking them in a more dramatic and theatrical direction, and the kids love it. Fusing 80’s new wave with metal riffs, the band makes sounds comparable to Human League, Sparks, Iron Maiden and even Sade.
Hard Place’s new album “Get Your Hopes Up“ is out now on World Famous in San Francisco Records.
Some music:
Here are Hard Place’s upcoming shows:
* June 3rd @ La Cita, LA
* June 10, Wildness @ The Silver Platter, LA
* June 30, @ Pehr Space, LA w/ Laco$t
* July 12, @ ARTSTORM, Houston TX w/ Wicked Poseur and Young Mammals!
* July 13, @ The Mink, Houston TX w/ Wicked Poseur and (maybe) Indian Jewelry

Ay! and Ewwww.
Those are first two things that came to mind when Mikey sent me this new Marc Jacobs ad. No wonder Jacobs is going back to using models in his Fall ads.
Step away from the tanning booth, Posh.

The woman who once posed topless and lovingly with a giant bottle of Marc Jacob’s Blush fragrance–the fabulous Sofia Coppola–now belongs to Miss Dior Chérie. Coppola has been hired to direct a TV ad campaign for the perfume, and starring in the ads is model Maryna Linchuk.
I’m hoping that Coppola’s commercial will be as good as last year’s Gucci by Gucci commercial from David Lynch. I’m optimistic.
She’ll also be starring in an ad campaign with Francis Ford Coppola for Louis Vuitton’s “Core Values” campaign later this year.
