724,945 Views - Los Angeles California band Greenhouse Effect feed off their success at Jango Radio Net Radio with their 2009 Mega-Hit Song "Brandy". With no Label Record deal, this band has come from absolutely nowhere and virtually revolutionized the internet not just with their great music - that sounds like no other band - but with their whole approach - the way that they handle the web has become a beacon to other bands, Labels, Attorneys, Managers, and Publicists EVERYWHERE !! "Brandy" works extremely well in the internet environment" says the band's Lead Singer and Guitarist Clark Hagins "We've had huge gigantic success in Europe,...I have to stay up long nights blogging,..it puts me in almost an alpha state because I don't really Know how to type for real,...I use only two fingers" says Hagins. Virtually over-night, Brandy and Jango radio working in conjuntion have turned the band into some of the web's most notable (and noticed) Rock superstars. "My passion is to make videos for great bands,..not just my own,..I work with some 50 bands and I promote them,..I get their itunes selling,..I get world fans to SEE THEM,...I make things happen - not just for G.e. - but for other artists as well,....I want EVERYONE to get an opportunity to be seen ,..not just me,...I never got my big break or chance,..all i ever got was magazines talking shit about me and writing crap out to destroy me,...I understand the politics and energy of rock n roll,..People with bold feelings and thoughts are important,....I support everyone left or right persuasion,..to me,..I have to keep it balanced and support Liberal rock music artists as well as conservative,....I don't spend my time trying to ruin people just because I happen to disagree with them,...if their music is great then thats what matters,..THATS ALL THAT MATTERS !!" BRANDY has been a stellar success for the band and Jango Radio and Blip Tv and Vod Pod are Hagins' means of attack ,..along with GoogleVideoCom,..and ofcourse tons and TONS OF BLOGGING !! "You have to blog videos heavily and write alotta' shit ,..otherwise people may lose interest,....I see my blogs transformed into other languages sometimes,..thats a thrill for me because I love it when G.e. gets played in other countries,...though the United States has been HUGE for G.e. " says Hagins... The explosive songwriter hook in Brandy as well as many other Greenhouse Effect Songs enables the band to do things that other bands simply can't. "The art of great songwriting has died,..its been killed by crap like Green Day, hip hop, and Rap music,..it sucks,....my music brings back the thrill of the Beatles, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Rush, the Tubes, and the Kinks Ray Davies,..we are a classic rock band at heart and that is the key" says Hagins "We are pure songwriters,..studio rats,...hobbiests,...thats why we survive and thrive on the web,...not just with Brandy and the Black White Song ,..but with practically ALL of our material" says Hagins.... - G.e. indeed present a serious challenge to a music recording industry that has always refused them "We are like that band Anvil,..(Laughs) ,..We never made it,...but now, we are huge on the web,....We hold alot of crap music and Rap music hostage,.." says Hagins "We are revolutionarys"
