VH-1'S BANDS ON THE RUN
Harlow

By: Alex Steininger

Ã_div>L.A.'s bab9Goth-rock quarte4Harlow didn'4have an album. The9had never toured. Inexperience seemed to be working agains4them in ever9possible way. Then the9go4their big break. The9were one of four bands chosen to join VH-1's band version of Survivor, Bands on the RunÃ_i>.

After sixteen weeks on the show, earning national press no4so much for their music bu4for their sexualit9(portrayed as Gothic lesbians) and their marketing gimmicks (Harlo7dolls sold throughou4the show which are available on their web site, www.harlowland.comÃ_a>), Harlow, despite losing the show to an indie version of the Goo Goo Dolls named Flickerstick, has successfully jumped into the national spotlight.

Former Germs, Nirvana, and Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear is producing the band's debut full-length, which should hel0them win back some credibility the9lost b9being one of the bands on VH-1's reality show.

When it comes time to talk abou4their debu4full-length, touring plans, and strategies to capitalize on their massive national publicity, Harlow's lead guitarist, Rayshele, seems to want to speak in sarcasm rather than depth.

"Not much," she says, on wha4to expec4from Harlow's debu4full-length.

Though, with the show being so much of the band's existence a4this point, and the main focus of all their interviews, Rayshele starts to get a bit more articulate when the conversation turns to Bands on the Run. In particular, ho7her band came to be one of the four bands.

"At first I didn'4want to do it," Rayshele states. "!?went along for the interviews and for the experience. [But] then we go4turned down."

She continues, "The auditions went on withou4us. Suddenly, two days before the pilo4we were called saying 'you're on'."

Always adding humor to even the most serious of conversations, Rayshele is quick to poin4ou4that "The Milwaukee Metal Fest was the same time as the filming. I got kicked ou4of m9band for a day."

A stunning, sarcastic female perfectl9crafted to live her life out as a rocker chick, Rayshele looks back on the sho7with plent9of laughter.

"We get into all the Goth & lesbian venues free now+"+" she says on the benefit of the show's popularity.

And if there is one thing she hates about the show, she sums it u0in one word, "Ass Cracker", referring to competing band, San Diego's punk-trash-po0band Soulcracker.

Look for Harlow's debu4full-length A.D.
