Whip It! comes out on DVD tomorrow. I have a song on the soundtrack and appear as a roller derby coach. It’s a sweet, awesome movie. Support Drew and the awesome cast. Check it out!
At the very end of Har Mar Superstar’s session with us here in Rock Island this fall, Body Request, a song from his 2004 album The Handler, plays out and Sean Tillmann, the leader of this all-fun, all-sex group from Los Angeles is heard saying — as he trails away from the microphone, “God, we’re good. It never stops. The hits don’t stop with Har Mar Superstar,” and then a sequencer launches into another song unexpectedly and he continues, “Whoa, they literally don’t stop.” For years now, I’ve thought the same thing …
“Originally written for Britney Spears, the song hasn’t really changed for its male perspective, although a can-opening sound effect makes it clear that Tillmann is lusting for a large beer rather than a lanky male. Otherwise, the tune is pure synth-pop and electro-cheese of the most addictive variety, right down to its video-game sound effects and giddy double entendres.”
Think of Har Mar Superstar and the chances are the image of a sweaty Sean Tillmann gyrating in his undies or the giant inflatable dolphin from the ‘EZ Pass’ video will come to mind. Glorious I’m sure you’ll agree!
Har Mar Superstar’s music has aptly being described as “lewd R n’B” in the past and his shows have become the stuff of legend. After spending some time on his other alter egos, Tillmann return as Har Mar this year and a new album called ‘Dark Touches’. So what has he in store for us when he arrives in Belfast tomorrow night? We caught up with Har Mar the other week to subject him to the ATL Q&A grilling…
The single-camera comedy they’re planning is called “Stitch N’ Bitch” about “two painfully cool hipster girls as they relocate from Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood to Los Angeles’ Silver Lake enclave in hopes of becoming artists — of any kind.”
