Ron Jeremy stars in the brand new video for Black Light Dinner Party – Gold Chain. Following the rise is new wave synthpop, Black Light Dinner Party likes to stay almost completely anonymous within media circles. Searching their band name on Google will only lead you to further frustrations. They have taken their incognito persona to the lengths of refusing to have a Wikipedia page or even an about section on their website. All we can do is watch and listen as they turn out immensely popular tracks and shoot high quality music videos, starring celebrities like The Hedgehog.

Ron Jeremy really seems to have his finger on the pulse of the popular music world. Having starred in this, the record breaking LMFAO video, and making an appearance at Bonnaroo 2011, Ron’s music street cred has blown through the roof. Keep dancing Ron, you may just win Grace Potter’s interest yet.

Ron made a splash at the Vegas Rocks! Magazine award show in Las Vegas. Joining more than 200 rock stars and celebrities, The Hedgehog paraded on stage as a presenter in front of over 100 media members and 1,000 fans at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Ron Jeremy‘s presenting partner, Frankie Moreno, is known internationally for both his unquestionable music talent and quirky stage antics. Of course, being equally as fun-loving, Mr. Jeremy was not going to miss an opportunity for a grand stage entrance. The adult industry legend and international music phenom decided their proportions made for a perfect carry-on. Ron Jeremy hoisted Frankie Moreno over his shoulder, and fireman’s carried him to the podium for their presentation.

Now that’s Rock and Roll!

Ron Jeremy was spotted this past weekend in Manchester, Tennessee attending the annual four day Bonnaroo music festival. Ron was reportedly very excited to see Grace Potter and The Nocturnals perform on the main stage Friday night.

“Watching Potter’s set side stage was none other than adult film legend Ron Jeremy. ‘It totally thrilled me when she came up to me first and said, ‘Hi, Ron. Nice to meet you.’ I nearly collapsed in my drawers,’ he says with a laugh. ‘I told her I’ve hung out with Grace Slick and I said you do a great cover of ‘White Rabbit.’ You do her proud.’ “ – JamBands.com

Ron seems to have a very eclectic taste in music, and is not afraid to broaden his horizons. During Exxxotica Miami Beach 2011, both Ron Jeremy and Sunny Lane attended the Girl Talk concert nearby. Adding Grace Potter and The Nocturnals to his list of known artists only continues to increase his infinite number of “cool points.” Look out Dos Equis, you may be swapping a spokesman soon.

Ron Jeremy co-stars in the new Rebekah Starr Band music video for their song, “Irrational Boy.” Ron signed on to get his butt kicked around the ring as a masked wrestler by Rebekah Starr herself. The music video was directed by renown L.A. director and photographer, Marcos Durian.

Since Durian’s work with The Rebekah Starr Band on their previous video for “My Way,” Rebekah and the other band members pledged to use him exclusively for future projects.

“We were crazy about the aesthetic Marcos created in the first video. We trust him completely in capturing our rock aura. We don’t want to work with anyone but Marcos for making music videos! He’s amazing!”

All Tomorrow’s Parties (ATP) is an organization based in London that has been promoting festivals, concerts and records throughout the world for ten years. It was founded by Barry Hogan in 1999 in preparation for the first All Tomorrow’s Parties festival, the line-up of which was curated by Mogwai and took place in the unusual setting of Pontins Holiday Camp, Camber Sands.

Since then the festival has appeared every year, and continues to set itself apart from festivals like Reading or Glastonbury by staying intimate, non-corporate and fan-friendly. Another vital difference is that the line-ups are chosen by significant bands or artists, resulting in unpredictable and exciting events which combine performances by legendary and influential acts with appearances by the latest crop of experimental artists from any (and every) musical genre. The All Tomorrow’s Parties festival has become more successful with every passing year, moving in 2006 to a larger holiday camp. It has taken place in the UK, USA and Australia, and has been curated by the following artists:

The Flaming Lips, The Breeders, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Mike Patton & Melvins, My Bloody Valentine, Explosions In The Sky, Pitchfork Media, Portishead, Dirty Three, Sonic Youth, The Shins, Sleater Kinney, Dinosaur Jr., Devendra Banhart, Mudhoney, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Mars Volta, Vincent Gallo, Slint, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Stephen Malkmus, Mogwai, Tortoise, Shellac, Autechre, Modest Mouse, and Simpsons’ creator Matt Groening.

All Tomorrow’s Parties also sets itself apart from other festivals by embracing seemingly disparate artistic genres. Most festival events feature art exhibitions and cinema programmes (in New York ATP collaborate with Criterion to present cinema highlighted by appearances so far from Paul Schrader and Jim Jarmusch), and others have featured spoken word performances and stand up comedy.

In 2007 the curators allowed festival goers to pick the line-up by organizing a voting process for all ticket holders in the months running up to the event, and this was repeated in May 2009. The festival now takes place three times a year in the UK (twice in May and once in December for the ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’). In recent years ATP‘s involvement in festivals has spread further; including curating a yearly stage at Barcelona’s acclaimed Primavera Sound Festival, and also curating a stage at Pitchfork Magazine’s Music Festival in Chicago in 2007 and 2008.

In 2008 ATP organized their first east coast U.S. festival at Kutshers Country Club, Monticello, New York. It was called ‘an unforgettable end to the summer festival season’ by Spin magazine, and Pitchfork stated that it was: ‘the most enjoyable festival experience of our reporter’s life.’ ATP returned to Kutshers in September 2009 with guest curators The Flaming Lips to even more critical acclaim.

At the start of 2009 the first ATP Australia festival took place in Mt. Buller, Sydney and Brisbane, all curated by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds to huge acclaim in all locations.

Significant past performances at ATP festivals include the reformations of The Magic Band, Television, The Jesus Lizard, Sleep and Slint amongst others. All Tomorrow’s Parties were also proud to present the return of My Bloody Valentine with a series of worldwide live performances throughout 2008, the London concerts of which were named Time Out’s Gig Of The Year.

2009 saw the release of a feature length documentary named All Tomorrow’s Parties; a DIY concert film featuring performances from an eclectic mix of some of the most influential or groundbreaking artists that have appeared at ATP including Battles, Sonic Youth, Belle And Sebastian, Grinderman, Iggy and the Stooges, Portishead, Mogwai, Slint, Grizzly Bear, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Gossip, Daniel Johnston, and The Boredoms. The film is a semi-found bricolage made from Super8, camcorder and mobile phone footage much of it contributed by over two hundred filmmakers, fans and musicians over the festival’s recent history, with key contributions from Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade Fire). It premiered at SXSW Film in March 2009 and was singled out by the events’ curator as being of particular artistic merit. – ATPFestival.com

Pianist is not a typo.

People are always surprised to learn I play the piano. They’re even more surprised When I play ‘Chopsticks’ with my balls.

That’s another blog post.
