Beneath the Scene: 3OH!3

THE BAND: 30H!3

HOMETOWN: Boulder, Colorado

MEMBERS: Sean Foreman, Nathaniel Motte

THEIR DEAL: These two guys from Colorado have girls sweating everywhere, especially at the hot and sticky Vans Warped Tour this summer, which they’re co-headlining. Their rap/rock mix attracts a diverse crowd and their messed-up lyrics are going to be a bad influence on kids everywhere. With label backing and tens of thousands of Myspace hits per day, you could definitely say they’re blowin’ up.

THE DIRT: Word on the street is that these dudes made 3OH!3 as a total joke. Rumors are flying backstage that they’re  “real” musicians who made a catchy band that they know is bad, just to get famous. And to get chicks. Which they are getting, all the F’ing time. See what guys will do to get laid?

COED Vault: The Tramps of MySpace

While Facebook has morphed into a leaner, cleaner friend network as of late, MySpace has become over-saturated with no-talent bands looking for record deals and local girls looking for fame, following in the stilettoed footsteps of Tila Tequila. To find the most attractive and worthwhile profiles is a daunting task; it’s far too easy to get lost in ‘Space.

But all hope is not lost, fellow MySpace addicts/stalkers.

After sifting through countless amounts of slow-loading pages and fake webcam profiles COED presents “The Tramps of MySpace.”

COED’s 10 Bands You Need To know, But Probably Don’t

Music is a funny industry. Like most other art, you’re praised if you’re even remotely aware of the underground and expected to, invariably, recognize the acts of the current mainstream. Myspace has managed to simultaneously make it easier and more difficult to keep up. Sure, there are thousands of new bands on Myspace that you would have never heard of before had it not been for the website–and it can all be very crowding to your musical mind–but they’re also all just a click away now. So get your little fingers ready for some intense clicking action. These Myspace links are probably gonna blow you away. Or…um…I hope at least one of them does.

ONE DAY AS A LION
Were you ever into Rage Against The Machine? How about The Mars Volta? Well, if you said yes to either one of those questions, you should hear the new project between Mr. Political Activism himself; Zach de la Rocha and the previous Mars Volta drummer; Jon Theodore. It’s like they were bored on some Cali beach one day, sipping Pacificos, when they looked at each other and said, “Shit, you know, lets just undo all of the wrong that Audioslave has done.”

boys-like-girls.jpg

Boys Like Girls used their explosion on the PureVolume“unsigned band” chart to land a major label record deal that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of records sold of their critically acclaimed self-titled album. Just two years ago, Boys Like Girls were playing small venues in the Boston area.  Today, they are gearing up to co-headline a five week national arena tour with Good Charlotte. On the verge of super-stardom, this quartet hasn’t forgotten their roots and the fans that helped them get to where they are today.

COED Meets The Ting Tings

The Ting Tings

Most people’s first encounter with the ultra hip, uber talented band, The Ting Tings can be attributed to Steve Jobs and his brilliant iPod commercials. Their song, Shut Up and Let Me Go, was catchy, fun and piqued everyone’s interest…in more than an MP3 player. Fortunately, that song wasn’t the only trick up The Ting Tings’ sleeve.Their newest album, We Started Nothing, is further proof of this duo’s serious talent. Unable to get those songs out of our heads, COED just had to get the story behind the band. So, we did. The good news: Katie White is just as down to earth and cool as she is talented. And, though we didn’t get to chat with Jules, we are pretty sure the same goes for him.

COED: We Started Nothing is chock full of textured beats, irresistible melodies and witty lyrics- where do the songs come from?
The Ting Tings: We didn’t intend to form in a band so I think it came from a very honest place, because when we wrote these songs we didn’t think anyone would ever hear them. We just wrote them to play for our friends at parties. We were both feeling quite frustrated at the time and very sort of, I don’t know, like, invisible. We had been in a band that hadn’t worked out, we had a bit of a horrible time with it; I think it came from a real frustrated point of view, but they weren’t negative songs; they were just songs to make us feel better.

COED: Could you describe your song writing process?
TT: It’s completely different for every song. Both myself and Jules write everything together. Sometimes it will be that I will come up with something on the guitar and then we’ll come up with an idea on top of that. Or Jules might come up with something on the guitar or drums, or we’ll play keyboards or we’ll just have this little percussive sound. We just turn to sing like guy vocals and then an idea will come out of it. Read More »

Celebrity News Round-up: Kurt Kobain’s Ashes, Speidiweb and Tatum O’Neal Crack Bust

report-kurt-cobain-ashes-stolen-courtney-loves-housekept-pink-teddy-bear-shaped-bag_top.jpgKurt Cobain’s Ashes Stolen?

This weekend, reports surfaced that Kurt Cobain’s ashes were stolen from life-coach Courtney Love’s mansion, along with jewelry and other possessions. Love is said to be in a “suicidal” condition after finding her ex-boyfriend and Nirvana front-man’s ashes missing, which she kept stored in a furry, pink bear purse.

This comes after $72 million was stolen from Cobain’s estate in an act of massive identity theft and fraud. ““It was fraud after fraud,” said Love of the incident. “But nobody believed me until now.” Maybe nobody believed her because she’s completely comatose on drugs. And maybe, just maybe, that’s why the ashes are now gone? Maybe not. But I’d say that’d be a good place to start looking. [Daily Swarm]

Heidi and Spencer Launch A Social Network

Celebrity couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, of MTV fame, have announced the launch of their new social networking Site, Speidiweb. While Speidiweb, named after a combination of the couple’s first names, is expected to mimic the style and functionality of Myspace and Facebook, the Site is expected to do well with MTV viewers, since the pair will probably mention it on-air a thousand times a day.

In addition to user profiles, Speidiweb offers blogs by the couple, Speidiweb merchandise (yeah, that’s going to do well) and tons of paparazzi pics, from the same photo agency that took their “candid” beach shots last week. [ProfilesBlog]

Actress Tatum O’Neal Busted At Crack House

You’d think, by now, that everyone knows that crack is whack. But you’d be wrong. Last night, Academy Award-Winning actress and author Tatum O’Neal was busted by the NYPD on criminal drug possession charges for buying crack cocaine on the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan.

O’Neal is the youngest actress to ever win an Oscar, which she received in 1974 for her role in Paper Moon. After her divorce from tennis star John McEnroe, custody of their children were taken away from her because of a heroin addiction. Apparently, that was one of the better decisions our courts have made… [TMZ.com]

Ashley Alexandra Dupre (A.K.A ‘Kristen’) Revealed in Spitzer Sex Scandal [PICS]

l_e5e22de824052efc19185af6b51ea930.jpg

We all knew it was just a matter of time before the identity of Eliot Spitzer’s elite companion / prosititute came to surface. Tonight the DrudgeReport uncovered Kristen’s myspace page and believe it or not, her name is not Kristen at all (insert shocked gasp here). Her real name is Ashley Alexandra Dupré, a 22 year-old aspiring R&B singer and a master fellatio-ist.

The Wall Highschool grad from Belmar, NJ is a regular on the NYC hip-hop party scene. Reports say she is less concerned about her recent publicity than being able to make her rent this month, due to her recent unemployment. Not sure if she is hot enough for her Emperor’s Club Diamond rating, but only the former governor can speak to her performance. Good luck little Miss HipHop’s Anonymous - you will have your photoshoot in either Maxim, Playboy or Hustler (if you are as dirty as we think) and then POOF, your fifteen minutes will be up.

Live it up darlin’! The clock is ticking.

COED Presents: Celebrity Internet Internauts

celebrity internauts

Even before the WGA strike, celebrities were starting to migrate their talents onto the internet. Between mega popular viral videos by Will Farrell and Jimmy Kimmel, technologies created by Kevin Rose and “leaked” sex tapes, there are plenty of ways for stars to maintain their relevance online.

In some cases, a celebrity’s status is larger online than it is in the real world - or close to it. Is it life imitating art, or art imitating the internet? With that said, check out our list of celebrities who not only made a move online, but benefited from it in a major way. Read More »
