Local H

Local H ist eine amerikanische Rockband, die 1987 von Scott Lucas (Gesang, Gitarre, Bass) und Joe Daniels (Schlagzeug) gegründet wurde. Die beiden Musiker spielten damals zusammen in einer Schulband in Illinois. Da es der Band nicht gelang, einen guten Bassisten zu finden, baute Scott Lucas zusätzliche Tonabnehmer in seine E-Gitarre ein, so dass er damit auch die Basslinie spielen kann.

Geschichte

Das erste Album von Local H, Ham Fisted, erschien 1995 und war mäßig erfolgreich. Dagegen erreichte das nächste Album As Good as Dead, aus dem die Singles "Bound for the Floor" und "Eddie Vedder" ausgekoppelt wurden, 1996 Goldstatus und erhielt durchweg positive Kritiken. as was the 1998 follow up, Pack Up the Cats, which spawned the single "All the Kids Are Right". Unfortunately, the album's chances of success were stifled when their label, PolyGram, merged with Universal and the album was all but forgotten during the transition.

Daniels left the band in 1999, leaving Lucas to recruit former Triple Fast Action drummer Brian St. Clair later in 1999. Brian St. Clair was the drummer for Triple Fast Action and a drum tech for Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick. The two released their fourth album Here Comes the Zoo in 2002 under the Palm Pictures record label. The No Fun EP followed in 2003 and their fifth and most recent album, Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles?, was released in April 2004 to favorable reviews.

In 2005 the band received a good deal of publicity after performing a cover of the Britney Spears hit "Toxic". The studio-recorded cover was available on the band's website, and it can now be found as the last, and only studio recorded, track of Alive '05, a live album the band released in 2005. "Toxic" has been performed in recent concerts.

Local H is currently managed by former Triple Fast Action member Wes Kidd for Silent Partner Management.

Recent Activity

Mid 2007 there were rumors on the bands forum about a possible Australian tour. These rumours were then fueled further when dates started appearing on venues websites such as the Annandale Hotel. The tour was confirmed when the tour dates were posted on the bands official myspace page in September 2007 which is only the second time the band has toured Australia, first Australian tour was in 1998 with Superjesus.

September 2007 was the month that Local H fans had waited for when there was a post on the band's message board about their upcoming album 12 Angry Months which is set for release in early 2008. This was backed up by an Australian press release by their Australian label Only Music when they announced their Australian tour in 2008. Press Release

Live shows

Local H is held in high regard amongst its fans for their frequent and energetic live shows. Scott Lucas has a reputation for being relatively combative with the crowd during these performances. It's not uncommon for Scott to pause during breaks in the show and verbally abuse specific members of the crowd. However, the members of the band (including Scott Lucas) can usually be found at their own merchandise table after shows - laughing, signing autographs, and selling t-shirts.

Local H also has a reputation for creative ideas with regards to its live shows.

In 2003, the band auctioned off a live show to the winner of an eBay auction.

In 2004, the band played a show at a bar named Fritz's Corner in Zion, Illinois. "Fritz's Corner" is the name of a single off of the 1996 release "As Good as Dead" and by all accounts the name was taken from this specific establishment.

In 2005; Local H performed an "all request tour" in which a ballot resembling a traditional sushi menu was handed out to the audience upon admittance to the venue; containing a breakdown of most of the bands' songs organized into various categories. Audiences were allowed to pick seven songs from the "menu" and the setlist for each show was derived from these ballots.

In the summer of 2007, Local H played a show at US Cellular field in Chicago - tickets were available by finding members of the band in their public lives and speaking the phrase: "ATTENTION ALL PLANETS OF THE SOLAR FEDERATION-- WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL" directly to them.

Also, for Halloween from 1996 to 2006 Local H would play at the Double Door night club in Chicago, masquerading as another group. In previous years they have performed bands including Nirvana, Tom Petty, Oasis, The Doors, and Sex Pistols. In 2006, the band announced that the Halloween show that year would be the last and played "headlining" shows as Kiss and Led Zeppelin on consecutive nights.

A good friend of the band, Gabe Rodriguez, often accompanies the band on tours and will spring from behind an amplifier during songs to provide backing vocals or to play the kazoo, or the tambourine.
