378,491 Views - LOS ANGELES. Greenhouse Effect have come roaring back in 2008 and 2009 to crushing views and downloads on the internet, Top chart success at Myspace and Youtube, "Other countries" explosive plays of their Mega Hit single BRANDY, A 1000 $ Dollar payday "side stage" offer to play California's Coachella Festival, and top rotation at JANGO RADIO ! NEEDLESS TO SAY, its been quite a year for the pinnacle three piece 'trio' band that "Started it all". "We are and were THE musical revolution of the 1980's and 90's" says Clark Hagins in November 2009. "With so many people now knowing about me and my music, learning about Phil Keegan, and Great People Like Jeff Snow at Rock City Productions in Massachusetts,..and so curious about all of our web tactics and Jango Radio,....its great,...we have everything in place EXCEPT for the major airplay at FM RADIO in America,.....AND we'll get THAT next" says Hagins. Hagins gushes about a hopeful upcoming "reality show" about him and his music plus his swimming pool cleaning possibly on Halogen Tv airing in 2010. "My surfer nephew has a show called "Wave Hunters" that is gunning onto airplay with Halogen,..there may just be a G.e. thing in the works soon,..although millions of people have seen me so much,....I'm alot like Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters,...theres a hella lotta people that are sick and tired of me,...but fortunately for me,..i got this nerdy Weezer Rivers Cuomo type of thing where G.e. is so "lovable" ,..we're like Woody Allens,..they love us in France and Japan,....We got geekey guys in the band like Ted,....even Palle too,..we are charmers,...I hope people will tune into my tv show soon,..I hope they're not too sick of me and Brandy n all" Hagins speaks fondly of a recent rehearsal where he and new drummer/ Surfer Hagan Kelley rocked in San Diego's North County's Goblen rehearsal studio in Vista Ca. "Its kinda sad because years ago, Goblin burned to the ground and their guy Darren - who is just such a terrific great guy,..he really struggled to get Goblen studios going again so we bands can play there,....We bands NEED a place to play,..to jam,..it means alot to groups that are struggling too these days,...but me and Hagan pulled off a great show,...We did play Brandy pretty tight,....I don't think we were quite ready to play that Coachella thing last summer but Hagan suggested that we just go there and play the whole ENTIRE gig in our underware, smashing all our gear,..and I was like 'but dude,..we don't HAVE any gear,..we would be smashing someone elses' gear (Laughs)" Darren from Goblen often "loans" Hagins and other bands musical gear to jam with for a small fee,...."Maybe if Darren loaned me the absolute crappiest guitar I could smash it at a concert and he might not mind (Laughs) " adds Hagins Hagan Kelley's surf program documents his trips to Mexico and maybe Fiji where he surfs waves, hunts for "Art chicks" and listens to "Gone" old tapes by Greg Ginn from Black Flag. "Hagan's show "Wave Hunters" is gonna be part of Josh Shipp's Jump Shipp I think" says Hagins.... Meanwhile in the U.S. , G.E. continues to rack up astounding numbers in cyberspace as the "World's biggest internet rock band" feeding off their song Brandy mainly and footage of historic G.e. concerts back in the South Bay of Redondo beach California like the Show at the Hermosa Saloon on August 16, 1991 ,..where G.e. appeared to be 'copying' the look, style, sound, and demanor of Seattle band Nirvana - Ofcourse at the time, there was no Huge Nirvana known as their "Smells like teen spirit" video and "Nevermind" album had yet to be released and heard of.." Our band was so innovative" says Hagins "For years , i tried and tried to convince all the major labels to sign us and i begged them that 'grunge' rock was gonna be the next big thing - this is very common knowledge in the South Bay,....everybody THOUGHT that I was crazy and insane,..they said that 'alternative music' was never gonna make it ,..and that it was subject only to the 'bargain bins' at record stores,..well, I fought like hell,..not just for me,..but for ALL EMO BANDS,....WE WANTED TO DESTROY heavy metal and bands like Skid Row and Def Leppard,..it was a tough tall order,....when i suddenly saw Nirvana going off huge,..i was a little stunned,...I mean i was a little happy to see that my ideas could work in the big time of the main stream,...but then I began to get bitter and angry and i wondered how it was,...how was it possible that G.e. of all bands ,..still couldn't get signed,...even with our song BRANDY in 1992,..it really bummed me,..out,..it made me give up and quit ,..by late 92' ,..I was over,..G.E. WAS OVER !! Our bassist Ted had quit and went and joined a punk rock band called the One handed Readers in Redondo,.....me and Palle Carlson tried to keep G.e. alive ,..but then he went back to Denmark,..man,..it was sad,..things were falling apart fast,....then, I saw all those bands like Weezer and Green day in '94,..THATS when i knew it was really over for me,..and i was only 29 ,..back then,..but in those days,..THAT was considered old !! In the South Bay,.... Hagins began the live part of his musical career jamming with bands like Palos Verdes demo project "The Cloud Chamber" before moving on to jam with fellow Redondo guitar rocker Steve "Stevo" Stepanian - where Hagins played drums before jamming with a multitude myriad of different South Bay punk bands, among them B.P.S. (beats per second) and "Outlash Control" before settling in as permenant fill in drummer for the Jim Mellon Quartet and the CVB (Christine Valley Band) with Joe Groovey dude and John Hall from Youngstown Ohio and many drunken nights at the Hermosa Saloon where huge loud blues gigs were often "Led" by Hagins - from the drum kit. "Its funny,..in the South Bay, I had just like this HUGE reputation as a drummer - but NOW most of the world knows me as a guitarist (Laughs)" says Hagins in November 2009. "Brandy" has turned Hagins into an overnight success and more than a household internet word ,..where millions of plays and downloads ,..many often 'originating' in the South Bay before spreading all across the country and the world "My dad was like this heroic school teacher at Palos Verdes High School,..he was Gary Hagins Teacher and his students really loved him and his dark sense of humor,...they rallied around HIM and now today, from all across the United States,..they rally around ME - I AM THE SON OF GARY HAGINS,..SCHOOL TEACHER ,..THATS LIKE BEING THE SON OF JESUS OR WAYNE GRETZKY IN CANADA,....'THATS' HOW MUCH HIS FORMER STUDENTS LOVE MY DAD !!,...I LOVE MY DAD - He's such a great genius thinker,...he writes great books,..he would have been a great blogger in cyberspace,....my dad has cancer right now,..he is very sick,..and 80 years old,....but he is still very sharp of mind,..he recently had a heart attack and stroke,...i will do every thing in my power and all i can to make sure 'all' of my dad's great books get published - I KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE GOOD - BUT GOOD IN THAT GRAY AREA WAY - where people don't really understand you,..My dad is GREAT LIKE THAT - HE IS A GENIUS !! I'M GONNA SEE TO IT THAT ALL OF HIS WORKS BECOME FAMOUS AND PUBLISHED !!! Its in our Family DNA to create Great Art.... HAGINS credits many nights of rehearsals and gigs at places like the Hermosa Saloon in giving him the confidence to play rock n roll music..."I was NOT always a nice sweet friendly guy to people,..but i could be very cool and kind too at times if given a chance..,..All that they try to say about me is not true,..its a big misunderstanding usually ,..I was just fighting to get to the top - THE TOP OF ROCK N ROLL AND GRUNGE ALTERNATIVE MUSIC,..Very determined....ITS A BUMMER THAT I COULDN'T have made it and hit the big time back in 1991 or 92" says Hagins "but this is how God wants it,..I'll just have to rock out now - for the world - at age 44,..and I will help bands like the Spongetones and Batlord along the way !! ======================== Hagins says that he "has to blog" and thoroughly enjoys writing - even more than music "Its like sex being a blogger" says Hagins "especially when yer one of the world's most known,..its nice to know that people read my shit" - "My dad was and is a Great writer,...and writing is difficult,..you have to organize and remember a lotta stuff ,..like as if you yourself are a computer,...it takes a ton of patients and passion,...its difficult and tough,..but 'IF' you enjoy it,..THAT makes it all fun and worthwhile,....I just wish I could get paid for this shit (Laughs)...." =================== Hagins says he didn't always get along or have the greatest relationship with his dad "I don't worry about that old shit now to the point of it killing me,...people on youtube come on there and they say nice things and they try to help me,..its been a struggle,..my dad did what he had to do and he was tired from teaching all day,..he still managed to devote time to his Church and his followers,..and i am ONE OF THEM !!...He fed me food,....and he put a roof over my head" =========================== Jango Radio has been quite useful as Hagins manages to get plenty of World-wide Airplay for songs like "Brandy" and the "Black or White" Song along with what Hagins calls "Crucial airplay' for the Phil Keegan guitar era of G.e. "My music is just pop flap,..its three chords with verse chorus verse kinda shit,....but it IS the Phil Keegan on Guitar era of Greenhouse Effect that makes Our band so unique and special,...we were real true warriors ,..standing up for bands like "Book of Talesian" era Deep purple, the Who, and the Yardbirds with keith Relf,..we were real 60's junkies,..THAT is what became grunge with "Precarious" and "Racers" and 'Waiting for your love to fail"...plus Rick Carmodys important 'flannel image',...If i could turn back time,..I wish atleast TWO of our important gigs had been filmed and I had them to document today and that would be this one gig that we played in 1987 at Madame Wongs where me and Ted were all decked out in flannel,..we did it in honor of Neil young and Mike Watt mainly (Laughs),...no,..in 1987,..we weren't doing it for Kurt,..(hisses),...Me and Ted always thought that Nirvana sucked ,..and to a degree I still do,..those guys are fucking Lame - atleast compared to G.e. - but then again,..ALL bands suck ...next to G.e. - except shit like Rush and iron Maiden - THAT SHIT is hella good !! I can't touch THOSE !! ANY BAND after Sept. 24, 1991,..I don't listen to,..maybe Weezer,..and thats all,..the rest of it sucks,...I respect Nirvana for all their luck and timing n all ...and skill - one cannot deny them,...but i don't respect Green Day at all - NOT ONE BIT,...I WOULD SPIT IN THAT GUY'S fucking little face .....

209,638 Views - Redondo Beach California's Greenhouse Effect feed off the Internet as The World's Most Watched and Downloaded Alternative Rock band of Cyberspace. The always Great and timeless Songwriting and Musicianship allow G.e. to do things on the web and with jango.Radio that few other bands can match !! Clark Hagins Great Lead Vocals are always the key but it is the "G.e. Story" and blogs that captivate a world audience like no band can !! "Ripping Reason" explodes in an orgasm of hard rock psychedelia; "I think the key to our songs is when you turn them all up loud - FULL BLAST - On your computer, ..they just sound great" says Clark Hagins in 2007. Hagins and his two mentor friends and former managers Jeffery Snowe and Dr. Steven Hoovernton blast G.e. around the web daily via GoogleVideo.com to massive plays , often using Linking technology , scripts, bots, and net savy 'web tricks' unparalelled to cyberspace perfection - and big BIG VIEWS for the three piece G.e. !! Bassist Rick Carmody and legendary Guitarist Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil) are the two other key players in G.e's fame game that help to garnish in a web viewership making Hagins one of the Web's top "Internet celebrities" at "The Insider" and TMZ. "We're an explosive band,..we do it all with our songwriting" says Clark Hagins who spends his days today as a swimming pool cleaner in San Diego's North County of Carlsbad California. "We are exciting, fun guys,...but we are very human and our 'blues' comes across well,..being from the South Bay where Black Flag is from certainly helps,..I grew up on a collection of SST Records vinyls down in my bedroom as a youth,..listening to bands like Swa and the Minutemen and mailing in my own tapes to Sst,..I wanted to be an alternative punk rock star as far back as 1986,...so many people from the South bay email me with great stories they remember,..people from all over the world are so kind to me,...People like Jeffery Snow "the snowman" in Massachusetts mean the world to me,...Rock City Records put out our early cd's from Boston way back in 89' and 90,..it was fun,...Dr. Steve Hooverton came to our show at Wilson Stadium on September 1, 1990 where we played with Instigator and Prop 13,..he witnessed one hell of a show with Phil Keegan that day,..." Greenhouse Effect would go on to play "The" historic show at the Hermosa Saloon on August 16, 1991 where they appeared to look, play, and sound exactly as Nirvana - only problem was,..Nirvana had not been released yet and no one had ever heard of them before,...a show in 1991 opening up for the Jim Mellon Quartet that was filmed by cameraman the South Bay's Jeff Hrzina; "So many people back in the South Bay pat me on the back,...they remember how insistant G.e. was,..and how forcefully determined we were to take over the world,..we have so many people there now saying great things about us,..they spread the g.e. "vision" and they tell the G.e. stories,...of how they once saw us at a show,..and about how great our vision and prophesy was,...my dad is a psychic,..its in the DNA" HAGINS began his musical career in 1982 - 84' era, playing with punk rock bands and "South Bay Blues" bands as well,...as drummer for "Outlash Control" from Torrance and the "Soul clinic" from Redondo Beach with legendary guitarist Steve Stepanian and later the Jim Mellon Quartet where Hagins spent many nights tightening his chops at the Hermosa Saloon before enthusiastic crowds "Those early days where I rocked in crowds prepared me to take on an audience of millions now today" says Hagins who professes his favorite bands in 2009 are Florida's "Reverse Engineers" nee Emmit Brown and Batlord. "The way I see it,..I have to get these bands as big as me because they are friends who have said kind things about me,..they are into David Bowie like me,..I appreciate that"

Hagins dit "mais il n' tait pas destin tre par Dieu, je pense,. . ou quelque chose comme a, .. nous avons tout fait " =================== 333,817 Views - 2009 has been the Most explosive Year yet for LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA GRUNGE ROCK MONSTERS Greenhouse Effect and Phillip Keegan (Dr. Phil) Guitar work. 6 figure video "Views" are the rule of the day always for the Biggest and most seen band on the internet and 2010 shows no sign of let up indeed as the band is blasted constantly in jango and Pandora Internet Radio Rotation and heavily Linked to business and MLM MARKETING Sites via the Zeus Robot and others. "With regular radio fm rock dying and radio stations disappearing daily, its been like a perfect storm, G.e.-mania is just the right fit for music hungry fans who are sick of Green Day and My Chemical Romance and Foo Fighters and all that other shit" says Clark Hagins "G.e. provides people all around the world with an alternative to the same old boring shit,...our music is new and it's exciting to people who really dig the Who, The Doors, Bowie, and the Guess Who" says Hagins. Keegan adds; "We keep classic rock alive" Hailing from the "South Bay" area of Redondo Beach / Torrance California (Los Angeles), G.e are an obvious breath of fresh air for a music industry desperate to sell cd's and get downloads. Jango Radio and companys like Somanymp3s.com have turned G.e. into overnight superstars but Hagins says its been four years of really "Hard work" to get G.e. to the very top of music ,...or atleast to the very tops of search engines,..which Hagins states as 'more important"....Singlehandedly, G.e. wipe out bands on major tours, deflate recording industry sales for other artists, and importantly grab and steal internet traffic away from even the biggest MTV SUPERSTARS from Jay Z to Beyonce to even Madonna !! "My dream now is just to play one more show" says Hagins "Ofcourse I would love to arrange a gig with Keegan and Ted (Rick Carmody Bassist),....but the 'second wave' phase of G.e. with Drummers Martin Silva and Greg Tarpley is oh so very important too as well" Hagins sees the laments of other bands from Los Angeles and his old home-town of the South Bay who can only dream of the mega-internet international exposure that Hagins and G.e. have received for some five years in a row "VIRTUALLY EVERYBODY knows almost everything about me and my band, my life...when they aren't reading all my blogs at one place,..they are over at GerocksCom where they read my virtual entire life story and get an inside look at my brain" Greenhouse Effect have spread the word and they blaze a cyberspace trail that other bands could only dream of and with their careful collection of hit songs like "Brandy" and the "White Black Song" constantly playing somewhere at all times, there is almost no chance that you're gonna miss G.e. on the net any time soon. "We are rock superstars" says Hagins "We're funny and we act weird and geekey,..we are extremely humorous but there is also no more serious band than us,...we are pure rock n roll entertainment of the absolute utmost ub-surd,...we make people laugh,..and then we slay them with like these really good little John Lennon David Bowie like Beatles pop songs,..we're really good" says Hagins. The former Soviet Union, Poland, India, and Turkey are some of G.e's biggest audience consumers and Hagins delights in this "To see the fans over seas in all those countries love G.e. and sense our magic and chemistry means the world to me,..I love those people" says Hagins. So will the Greenhouse Effect dawn a 'secret show" at the Hermosa Saloon in the South Bay or somewhere else anytime soon ?? "Don't be surprised if we do,..We all wanna rock,..but we know if we even slightly advertised a gig on like Myspace,..there would probobly be like 2000 people at the gig,...WE ARE THAT BIG NOW,....I would just like it if I could join a tour as an opening act and see what happens" says Hagins. Fielding many emails from old friends back in the South Bay who suddenly respect Hagins as a musician and would like to know if he would like to go out or hang out for a beer is a funny thrill for Hagins "I love the south bay and all the people there,....there has been some bad blood and tension between me and some of them and theres been some family issues concerning me but this is a big business and I have to get on with my life,...I have to find a way to move on,....I have to once again get serious about my music,...if we are really gonna play again,...I have to clear my brain of shit and concentrate like I once could back in 1990 and 89',....I need to play my guitar and write songs and sing again,....and forget the past,...this is a serious business now for me,.. Hagins works as a Swimming Pool cleaner in San Diego's "North County" as Abracadabra Pool and Spa Service where people constantly approach him inquiring about G.e. "Alot of people say that we only have that one good song in Brandy and that all of our other songs aren't very good,..that kinda talk I hear alot and it hurts and bothers me,..because in the early days with Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil) on guitar ,..we were so dynomite with "The Magic Man" and "Number One". "Precarious" takes off on the net as an important early 'grunge rock song' for the tiny three piece G.e. "We were total revolutionarys and Keegan's guitar showed the way for many bands to come and I would tell lawyers and Recording Labels of all of my ideas" says Hagins "Few people believed in me or in us but I kept on going,..all the way til 1992 - when I was 27,...in those days , 27 was considered very rock music "old" indeed !! "All the talk about how G.e. really is the band that started Grunge and all is exciting and impressive but it also can get boring too,....me and Flipper want to get on with a whole new album and a whole new style that has no grunge,..and no flannels either !! " Is Hagins bitter about G.e. never getting their 'time' in the glory days of the early 1990's and MTV ?? "Sure I am,...." says Hagins "but it was not meant to be by God I guess ,..or something like that,..we did all we could" "We're comfortable either way" says the now 44 year old web guru Hagins "Cyberspace is our turf,....We know that no band can beat us here,...we're too original and clever to look at,....the web is where we live"

Greenhouse Effect's Clark Hagins is one of 2009 Alternative Rock's most unlikely success storys. "G.e." is seen internationally on over one million computers a day or more ! and the March 1992 Song 'Brandy" fuels the Ge engine thoroughly. "I have always said to people ,..it don't matter how old you are or what you look like just so long as you have hit songs that good - and we have them" Says Higgins.'Brandy' as well as "The White Black Song" and "It ain't easy" are all catchy G.e. diddies that cruise along more like the Monkees or the Beatles than they do like 'MY Chemical Romance" or Panic at the disco. "We have extreme melody" says Higgins "Thats the key,...we have a huge email list, tons of videos, and thousands of different video hosting sites that all seem to enjoy carrying G.e. songs the most, ...our band really 'works' on the internet - better than most bands,....and the grace of the internet will keep us "eternally young" forever,...we will always be net celebrities - even someday when i am a senior citizen in an old folks home,...I'll 'always' be G.e. (Laughs)" says Higgins.In the 'fixed environment' the lovable charm of G.e. is alot like that not unlike The Monkees and the Who and delightful British pop bands of the 1960's. Greenhouse Effect are tv clowns that ham it up and defy their geekey white suburban 'unintelligent' appearance. "We were a smart band" says Clark hagins "We always knew we would make the big time,..even 'if' it wasn't till we were 50 !! (Laughs)"...Greenhouse Effect songs roll along in the classic 60's early 70's sense sounding more like the Buffalo Springfield and David Bowie and the Guess Who ,...loaded with melody, tight hooks, and 'old school' classic rock flavor,..at times even varying into the territory of groups like Rush and Genesis with tracks like 1992's "The Ballad of Kurt Cobain"."All of our songs are great!" says Clark hagins "We put our songs out and we have top people working with us,..great people like Steve Hoovernton ,...and great technology for Google like the Zeus Marketing robot 1000 as sold by David Notistine. Using things like cbmall and klause41 links and great band promotion companys like Somanymp3s.com assures us that G.e. and BRANDY will always be at the tops of every major search engine,..we will always get great downloads at Googlevideo.com but ofcourse my goal is to make money at this,...with our various large email lists and our link urls to "i-tunes" ,..we hope to turn the cyberspace success at being seen ,..that is G.e. - we hope to turn this into GOLD !! AS IN PLATINUM RECORDS SOMEDAY SOON " says Higgins "Our goal is to sell over 2 million downloads at itunes and Napster,..we will achieve this" says Higgins "but its gonna take time,..."And there is no doubt, that the very catchy BRANDY could sell platinum records for Greenhouse Effect. "If we could just get that song into a movie or get some kind of financial help - but help that would pay our band fairly ,..we know then that we could have huge hit mp3's - even if we ARE 40 !! - We're internet legends and we're fun to look at,...we've put the community of Redondo Beach and the Hermosa Saloon Bar into the things of internet legend,...EVERYBODY around the world is curious about the South Bay now,...and its funny - because i don't even live there anymore,..i live in San Diego (Laughs)" says HagginsMore People watch the Greenhouse Effect daily than watch the Jonas Brothers,...and it isn't even close. "We are linked to EVERYTHING via the Zeus robot technology" says Higgins "if you surf practically any keyword,..theres a damn good chance yer gonna 'stumble upon" a g.e. video,...and if that video happens to be BRANDY,WHITE BLACK , or "It ain't easy",..yer gonna like what you hear" says Higgins "Thats how we build fans,...we have made HUGE inroads into England,..in the UK, THEY LOVE our music,..we are trying to improve our Australia and Scottland traffic and it is really growing - i think alot of them think that 'BRANDY' is from England (Laughs)" says HigginsHagins says he uses the "Tubemogul" multiple Video sending service to "Blast" song videos, as well as the popular www.Blast4traffic.com email sending service - a service that has quadrupled Higgins' music traffic in England. 'Brandy' is so heavily listened and downloaded in the UK, that in January 2009, there were more plays for G.e., than Coldplay !"I've discovered some new email blasting 'safelists (Spam-free)" says Clark Hagins "One of them claims they can blast your band and songs to up to two billion emails,...well, I want to assure that I have the biggest song in the world with 'Brandy",...emails and linking tools like 'Zeus' are key,....our goal now is to get some cash flowing (revenue stream) on itunes and especially NAPSTER ."I want to triple our Google web traffic with 'WHITE BLACK THANG',...In 2008, it was the biggest song on the planet,...now I want to 'cement it' as an internet classic ,...with itunes sales."The thrill of being in the top of Myspace charts and being recognized as a serious songwriter is not enough for Higgins. "I wanna be one of the best ever ,...alot of people back in the South Bay were trying to say I suck,...they come on my Youtubes like cowards and they dare to try to call me mediocre,....well, - HOW FUCKING DARE THEY !! ?,....'EVERYBODY' knows me now ,...fucking no one knows them - they're pathetic !! ""No one back in the South Bay will help me !,...I have to sit here and do alot of this shit all by myself,...just me and Hovernton,.....IF IT WAS 'ANYBODY' ELSE BUT 'ME' ,..then 'someone' would help them,...BUT NO! NO ONE BELIEVES IN ME - AND NO ONE comes forward to lend me a hand,...they never did before - and they still DON'T NOW !! ,...AND NOBODY IN NORTH COUNTY helps me either ,...now 'thats' an example of pathetic - if you ask me !! 'Anyone out there that says I ain't good enough ,..well JUST FUCKING REMIND THEM OF THAT !! NOW 'THATS' an example of 'mediocre' at best !! NOT WHAT I DO !! ,...AND WHAT I'VE DONE - ALL BY MYSELF - FROM NOTHING !! - 'I' MADE THIS !! Do you fucking hear me - I DID THIS !! ,...BUT I AIN'T DONE,...like i've written at my main site and youtubes and elsewhere,...I AIN'T DONE UNTIL THE SOUTH BAY SUCKS MY FUCKING DICK -...I'm gonna make them suffer !!"I coulda' made all these fuckers rich 20 years ago,...but they all left me,..." THEY HAVE NO VISION - TOO BUSY GETTIN' HIGH " "Back in the South Bay,...I used to book the shows, throw the shows, SPEND MY OWN MONEY,.. i passed out tapes and flyers for other bands FOR CHRISSAKES !!, i fucking dedicated MY TIME to helping OTHERS - its practically ALL I FUCKING EVER DID,...AND RARELY DOES ANYONE say a nice word about me or one kind fucking thing,...and they seldom ever helped me once ,...'that gig' at the Hermosa Saloon that we all see now today - that was so important -,...well, if you want the truth ; WE ALMOST DIDN'T EVEN PLAY THAT GIG,....BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I BEGGED OR PLEADED,...no other bands would let us play a show with them - i had to fucking fight for everything i EVER fucking got there - EVER !!,...And its funny how they all talk shit about me there too ,...when i've 'never' been one before - to do that kinda shit TO THEM !!,...i was always cool to them,....NOW I DON'T FEEL TOO MUCH LIKE BEING COOL ANYMORE,...I've woke up to realise that I am a 44 year old swimming pool cleaner now,...and MY LIFE AND MY MUSIC HAVE BEEN WASTED !! ,...AND they all laughed when my brother and my so called buddies in that band in 98' - threw me out,...., back up there in the S. Bay,......after i was drivin' up there all that way 'cause i just wanted to play music again,........NO, ..NO,....I'm very angry nowand now very determined to do music again in some kind of form,...but its tough when yer 44....Greenhouse Effect credit much of their success to Myspace.com and Tila Tequila's Myspace profile in particular. "We love Myspace" says Higgins "Myspace is great because it puts four or five of your songs out there for people right away,...it definitely helps you to build a strong following and people see that shit ! ,..although these days i must say that Myspace goes kinda slow when you land on it...."

Myspace.com has been a strong tool that Greenhouse Effect use like a machine to spread their musical popularity in February 2009 as they have climbed into the top 100 "All time" of World 'alternative rock' bands, passing by many rock legends in the process."It just feels great" says Clark Hagins of the Greenhouse Effect "We love Myspace because their profiles look so professional and they put four or five or up to 8 songs out that fans can listen to,...Myspace has really helped Greenhouse Effect to achieve our musical dreams !"Two of Greenhouse Effect's most popular songs are listened and downloaded heavily directly from their Myspace; The Morrisey like classic "Brandy" which sounds almost as if the Cure jammed with David Bowie and the bizarrely Guns n Roses meets Bruce Springsteen like Mega-hit "WHITE BLACK THANG' A LEGENDARY song from Los Angeles that has turned the search engine world of Google and Yahoo literally upside down with nearly 150 Million song plays in 2007, 2008, and 2009,...Strangely enough,..these two songs both sound and feel nothing like each other and infact almost sound as if they come from two entirely different and seperate bands altogether ! "But they're from the same group, " says Clark Hagins "Me and Ted recorded them all,...though i can't remember if Ted is on Brandy,...he may have been absent that day and i might have had to play the bass on that track (Laughs)" says Higgins.Hagins says that he recommends that 'all' bands get on myspace and build a 'professional looking' myspace profile. "Myspace is very important,...the bottom line is a band has to have a great myspace profile and it has to load quickly" says HaginsGreenhouse Effect use large email lists with millions of recipients in over 200 Countries as fans eagerly download and buy their music at i-tunes,..."the world support we get from the fans means so much to me,...God bless them" says Clark Hagins "especially all the great people in the UK who help G.e. - we want to go over there to London and play a show for Britain because of all of their kind words and support,...the fans in Ireland too ,..are super important,....Hagins says it hasn't always been easy getting large support for his beloved G.e. ; "its been tough,...i was from a community back there in the South Bay where the people were raised on AYSO SOCCER and robotic shit,....Redondo beach and Torrance were very competitive communities but deep down,...they all know there that theres no one as good as me "Greenhouse Effect are seen world wide and heavily downloaded as 'the world house band' now for the Hermosa Saloon bar in hermosa beach California in a now critical pre-Nirvana era live performance video where Clark hagins and the Greenhouse Effect seem to be stealing the MTV IMAGE OF KURT COBAIN !! "the only problem is,...is that video was shot a year before anyone had ever heard of Nirvana during the glam heavy metal days when everybody was busy playing cheesey weedily weedily guitar solos and worshopping people like Poison and Kevin Dubrow,....G.e. 'was' an 'alternative rock band' into stuff like the Pixies and the Stooges,...and we were calling people out - furthermore; we hated heavy metal " says haggins...Everybody back in the South bay knows the deal,..the whole deal,...if they saw us jam with drummer Greg Tarpley at the Wilson Park festival in may 1991,...then they 'know' the truth ,..it was really G.e. who organized grunge rock in the media,...i was always communicating with record labels and magazines,....my brother Jeff and Flipper are both right on; ALOT OF GE SECRET IDEAS for emo rock marketing were stolen or 'augmented'.....or borrowed (Laughs) ......"People back in the South bay like to talk about all the art and pictures i drew as a child,..i drew whole organized pictures when i was two and three years old that blew our family doctor away" says Hagins "Nobody could believe the shit i drew - like pictures of insects and trees and snails and shit,....it was like somebody on acid,....the doctor told my mom that i was 'beyond' genius levels - and that was when i was four !! I doubt seriously that Kurt Cobain could draw what i drew !! You ask ANYONE BACK IN THE SOUTH BAY !! IF I SAY that 'i' started grunge with Keegan back in 1986 and 87' well then you fuckin' better believe it - and DON'T DOUBT ME MY FRIEND !! JUST LISTEN TO OUR 1987 SONG 'RACERS' and look at the Hermosa Saloon footage my friend !! it ain't no joke,...and hey.,...just ask Bam Magazine, ; they'll fuckin' tell ya (Laughs),....

"The Tubemogul' Web video service is amazing" says Clarke Higgins of Green House affect "Its enabled our band to be seen on a massive scale,..getting our songs on to radio stations in places like Spain, Mexico, and Portugal,..we can send tons of music and videos at the click of a mouse....we can send tons of music and video to awesome websites like BLIP TV and VIMEO....OUR GREENHOUSE EFFECT MUSIC AT VIMEO looks and sounds amazing with high bit graphics. Google Video and Youtube are no longer just the places you can find Greenhouse effect music,...now its everywhere,...'we got great songs and i feel we need to be seen alot and constantly,..we want to be one of the first bands to get on a festival without having to mess around with a record label and all that politics" says higgins.....Greenhouse effect and their 100 Million World views at Google can throw their weight around and people eagerly respect them and listen to what they have to say and send them inquisitive emails...."my email box and myspace are always stuffed" says clark hagins "we get alot of curious people all around the world asking for help,..other bands who feel rejected by the music industry,...i would love to be of assistance to as many of these bands as i can,...but its hard,...i have to concentrate on the bands i know personally and like for now like the Reverse Engineers and Batlord,...but eventually i would like to start some kind of world outlet for 'rejected bands'- i will be the one to help them,...theres alot of republican and conservative type people in bands who don't wanna have to sell out to hollywood and people like Ellen,..thats where i come in,..i want to start a 'conservative rock n roll' world site where Christians and or right wing people can have an outlet for their art, paintings, music, poetry, and shit,...i won't just help conservatives,..i will also help liberal musicians too,..there are many of them as well who cannot get a record deal because they don't 'know' anybody or maybe they simply don't have enough talent,...for the lone wolf liberal guy or gal,..i will work to help them too,..and i will make sure their message gets heard !!Songs like "Precariois', Number One, Racers, Magic Man, Ben is dead, Star, Coke snortin' love boyz, 22nd Street, America the beautiful, and Brandy have propelled G.e. to the top of the internet and search engines..."we have our tricks too" says higgins "Somanymp3s.com has sent our music out to millions of people,...we also have a big time connection with naruto shippuden cartoons because of my room wall-paper at my house that is all naruto,..we spread the message of naruto and japanese culture to the world via G.e.The brilliant music of Greenhouse effect is artistic and takes chances often away from the tried n true path,...we strive to be weird,..yeah we are different' says higgins' but we make the best music in the world for millions of fans,..we know we have to write some pop crap too,..thats why we have catchy songs like WHITE BLACK THANG and BRANDY just incase they think we sound too much like Captain beyond and Emerson Lake and Palmer (Laughs)Hagins says he really does alot of this "for others" ..." i wanna expose great talents of people like our music sound engineer bill krodel who mixed and produced much of our great sounding music,..i just think that songs like 'Wilson Phillips', White Black Thang, Brandy, and "No Takers' - they sound so good and so clean because of great people like Mark Nathanson and Billy Krodel who just passed away recently,...but theres others who i won't forget,..people like Andy Houston who produced Star and Ben is dead,...22nd Street and all; Going Legit 91',...and people like my father Gary who are amazing genius writors and comediens, poets and prophits,....theres some bad people out there too ,..who have worked to hurt me and keep me down and from being heard,...i will work to make sure one day that they are in a world of shit...and i will succeed

"Grunge" Rock is making a powerful resurgence in 2008. A sound made popular by rock legends Nirvana some 18 years ago is being retreaded nicely by Brand new Super Group from Los Angeles Greenhouse Effect.Greenhouse Effect lead vocalist Clark hagins explains his music's mass appeal can be credited to things not like college radio or indie fanzines but rather electronic robots run by secret companys that bring G.e. the internet's most massive Web traffic...Companys like SoManyMp3s.com , the Zues Robot, Leakyourmp3com, and CBMALL have 'linked' the Greenhouse effect to virtually every internet site around the world on Earth and made G.e. an interent household word....The Greenhouse Effect Song "White Black Thang" is explosive and it has shattered internet records world wide bringing G.e. attention from everywhere including the Hip Hop community as well as Net radio airplay unmatched ..for a band that has never set foot into a professional recording studio or has ever attained a major label...."the people in Hollywood are dipshits" muses Hagins "i guess they don't realise that this song alone by itself could make them about 2 billion dollars,...just try to imagine the merch we would sell,...but i understand the business,..i am not an afeminate Liberal,..i am a politically incorrect guy who listens to talk radio and guys like Michael Savage and Mark Levin,....up there in Hollywood,..Liberals talk about how 'open-minded' that they always are and all that load of shit,....but the reality is ...is that Liberals "ONLY" help other Liberals,...and THATS THAT !! if yer not one of them,..they just throw your tapes and your flyers in the trash and say that yer 'wack' ,..but what people are finding out is 'their' music is wack !! - thats why it ain't selling anymore,...people wanna hear the truth ,..and thats why i am very popular right now,..and who knows?? perhaps i always will be from now on too !!"
