Hooray for Hemme.

Hello!

Here's some exciting news!

As some people know my brother, Timmy, is living out here for a few months working with Christy Hemme (dancer, model, TNA knockout and now super bad-a singer) as they are starting to get really serious with her band HEMME.

It's made up of Christy (you can find her pretty much anywhere...Check this out)

Eric "Erock" Friedman (ex Submersed, Alter Bridge, Daughters of Mara & some Jeramiah Red) he's on guitar and he is genius. It's in his bones. I've never seen anyone with a brain like his. 

Garrett Whitlock (ex Submersed) who KILLS on drums. 

and Timbone Miller (j-red) slappin da bass. 

So I started hanging out with them while Tim and Erock were staying at the Tremonti's house & it's been way fun watching while they write and create the demos for the new album. 

&  Landon is now in his last 2 months of class where they have Session Recording & a Producers Showcase.

What they are expected to do is find an artist, bring them into the studio to record a single, mix the song, put together a whooole bunch of other stuff (copyrights blahblahblah) and in a presentation they're supposed to "sell" the artist. & a bunch of industry professionals judge all the groups to pick who rocks (& sells) the hardest. (his group is gonna win.)

It all came together too well. We got HEMME in the studio this week to record the song "Deepen Me" which is soundin SO good.  and they're going to start mixing tomorrow.

I was asked to come in and take pictures of the studio sessions. (They'll be ready tomorrow after I get them band approved.) 

AND here's my exciting news.

Christy needed a promo shot of the whole band for a magazine and other sites and she asked me to do it!

It was way fun, totally last minute and turned out completely awesome. 

We went to the lakehouse where she lives and looked for some fun spots to take them. It was raining so it was hard to get outside, but we did for a bit. It was really pretty on the dock with everything so cloudy and wet.

We picked our favourites and she sent them off to her publicist.

You can now find them here, here, here, here,  here and here. ok I'm done linking. 

The whole shoot will be on my website tomorrow.

Needless to say her publicist got them around.

I don't know what magazine it's going into yet (they picked the black and white one) which is sweet. Tim is looking real retro in it. 

It reminded us of an old school record cover.

So now I'm asking you to be a pal.

View them on any of the sites (you can rate them on the first link) and comment away.  Tell your friends, your pet, maybe your Grandma...(my Grandma liked them.) Add HEMME on myspace. 

The music they're writing now is coming out so good. Christy has been growing so much as an artist. It's so rad to see. It really surprised me how honest and sincere she is about the entire project. It's much more important to her than just another outlet of entertainment.  (which is what you would assume coming from a WWE wrestler turned singer)

So. Assume nothing with Christy Hemme.

She's rad, the music is rad, the pictures are rad, life is rad. Rad goes with rad.

Ok. I'm done.
