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"
