Skeeveland

When Jody Hill goes to work ('East Bound and Down,' 'Observe and Report,' 'Vice Principals'), he deals with some of the funniest people on the planet. He also dealt with Allan MacDonell at Skeeveland,

Cheyann Benedict is a serial fashion entrepreneur. Her creative impulses refuse to be confined to a single discipline. The search for new challenges, new forms of expression and deeper artistic fulfillment have taken Benedict around the world, several times, and deep into her punk rock origins—and to Skeeveland.

'Family Guy' writer Aaron Lee has been reamed out by William Shatner and forced to coach Donald Trump on how to be funny. Lee enjoyed only one of those things.

Drummer Don Bolles: Ariel Pink won’t go on tour without him. The Germs couldn’t play a set all the way through unless he was battering away behind them. And Skeeveland wouldn’t be Skeeveland except Don Bolles dropped in and imparted an L.A. punk history lesson.

Jennifer Locke has a dual career path in performance-video art and as a professional dominatrix. Also, a secret life that she reveals to Skeeveland.

Louisa Pillot is an American DJ/producer/performer based in Paris who goes by many names. Well, by two names; the lovely one her parents gave her and her stage name: Louisahhh. Pillot is a woman playing at the A levels in what is often a man’s game. She is founder of the RAAR record label, was a big deal during Bromance Records‘ five-year run, and will be creating dance frenzy in a town near you, providing you are a train ride or so away from Paris or Toulouse or Amsterdam or Pune, India, or let’s say Miami, Florida. You think you get the idea, but listen in: You have no idea what all Louisahhh will say next.

Entertainer Rob Zabrecky has achieved cult sensation as actor, musician (Possum Dixon) and magician (The Unholy Three): For his next trick, he makes this edition of Skeeveland more fun than it has any right to be.

With drummer Dale Crover, guitarist Buzz Osborne founded (the) Melvins somewhere back in the 1940s and has maintained the band as a raging dominant force in contemporary musical culture for longer than some of his most swooning critics have been alive. Osborne confesses a string of counterintuitive passions (golf, for instance) on his visit to Skeeveland.

Here’s a conversation you won’t have every day. As the lead singer, chief composer and otherworldly charisma source of the band Giant Drag, Annie Hardy was a cult figure, a mysterious presence, an aura attached to an enigma. And then some things happened. She is something altogether altered now. Annie Hardy has 28 releases available for purchase on her Bandcamp page. The Giant Drag album "Waking Up Is Hard to Do" is highly recommended as a good place to start buying.

Is this woman her husband’s muse? Or is she just amused by him? Either way, how has it lasted so long?

Not only has Kevin Rutmanis, a founding member of the Cows, been fired from Mike Patton’s Tomahawk and the Melvins, he’s had the delusional notion that he is capable to going head-to-head with 'Now That I Am Gone' author Allan MacDonell in a charm contest. You be the judge, and let’s hope Rutmanis is more successful in his current musical incarnation, Hepa-Titus (currently merchandising on Bandcamp).
