The "Hit Factory" that is G.e. is internet 'relentless' ...From the classic "Brandy" to 'White Suburban Liar$' title track to the 1992 'Rock Opera' 16 Song collecion to "It Ain't easy" and 'White Black Thang' and IRIE BOB -G.E. is certainly no one hit wonder with "Brandy' indeed ! Tons of Great songs that work extremely well in the fixed rigid environment that is cyberspace have assured G.e. a place in Rock History as an internet phenomenon and blasted them into the Top 50 Bands of all Time at Myspace !! "With a little advertising,..you can do a hell of alot and really get seen and noticed" says Clark hagins, guitarist for one of the net's most known acts and a true ham on stage who 'acted it up' in all the zaney G.e. videos along with red headed bassist Rick Carmody and hillarious drummer Palle Carlson - daily infront of millions in Google Search engines; "things like Blip tv are great for bands,...Blip tv videos look professional and they make a band get noticed,...then when they go to truveo and all those search engines like Revver and mefeedia,..then yer gonna get seen ALOT TOO,...YER GONNA BUILD friends, fans, and new myspace friends as well,..but Twitter really is the most amazing thing,...working with Twitter and blip tv in conjunction is key -,..yer gonna get seen,..and yer gonna get looky loo's,...it will send you up the Myspace charts high,...i'm not gonna sit here and say that tomorrow ,..some band is gonna get seen and instantly get 55,000 plays on youtube like Greenhouse Effect has gotten,..but it can happen,..if you work hard,..it just takes work,..bands need to hire an internet czar to 'work' nightly for them,...we have an advantage because we have the song "Brandy' and alot of many people have told me that we're nothing without that song but that IS BULLSHIT ,...you listen to us carefully,..you will see that ALL OUR SHIT IS HITS,....I JUST RAN OUT OF MONEY and youth way back then ,..in 1992Haggins says he uses things and tools like Myspace Banner advertising and a popular secret Company called Somanymp3s.com to blast his songs into every search engine but that nothing compares to Twitter "With Twitter, if you can get someone like Tila Tequila or Perez Hilton to follow you,..or even if you just follow them,...yer gonna get seen,..with tweets, you can advertise your band or radio station , net or otherwise,...and you will get followers,...its important though to have a little real band banner work going like buying an ad at myspace,...yer sure to go up the charts then,....
Greenhouse Effect revel in being one of the most seen videos ever at GoogleVideoCom,..not just for bands - but rather for 'anything' with their 2007 video for their song 'White Black Thang' ,..views for this song are confirmed in the 60 million plus area with over one million song downloads through March 2009.
Haggins says its a 'natural advantage' G.e. has over other artists , as they work with the internet and Myspace and Youtube; "We write really good songs that are meat and potato,....no other band from today can possibly challenge us,..certainly not 'My Chemical Romance or Fall out boy or any of that mtv shit,.....fuck it man,...i would hate to be the kid from today who is 18 to 27 who is trying to convince everyone or anyone how G.e. sucks ! ,..thats just not gonna fly pal when you weren't even born when G.e. was around ! Yer gonna sit there and try to tell me or anyone ,..that you possibly know more about rock n roll than the Clark the Shark guy from Redondo beach who was once the lead singer of Swa ?? and who grew up back in the South Bay with a huge vinyl record collection of Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, and Angry Samoans ?? Well,..to some kid in Panic at the Disco or Paramore,..I say this; Be my guest man,..Go for it- i dare ya !! - I'm the fuckin' guy who threw all the Wilson Park Shows in Torrance - you little shithead !!
Another weapon G.e. has going for them is that they are one of those 'silly 1970's sounding authentic bands like Grand Funk or the Guess Who' and that People into the Who, the Doors and Led Zeppelin are almost immediately gonna step it up and take up for G.e. almost instantly; "Don't mess with G.e. kid,..yer messin' with classic rock there,..its like fuckin' messin' around with Jim Ladd or Joe Bensen boy !!"
Haggins says that the Tubemogul Video sending service cuts his work load in half as it blasts new G.e. songs to thousands of new engines as well as the popular www.Blast4traffic.com bulk emailing tool. "Those are great' says Higgins
