Madam’s Trick Book Reveals Clients
Of all the famous LA names in Babydol Gibson’s little black book, only one had the cojones to step up and be counted– our main man Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols and more recently FM 103.1. The music man, unlike Tommy Lasorda and Bruce Willis said: “It’s possible I crossed paths with her back then. She was a madam, but if I remember right, she wanted to be a singer in a band.” Jones’ subtle implications is that he might have gotten his services for free because of his music pull, while giving himself enough wriggle room to get out of it completely. Everyone else named in the book is threatening to sue, although thus far there have been no credible reasons as to why their names and cel numbers would be in the madam’s black book. Babydol ran one of the city’s highest-end prosty rings with the perfect name of “California Dreamin’”, with featured ladies including Penthouse and Playboy models and porn stars. Other names mentioned in the book include Robert Horry, Ben Affleck, and Sly Stallone.

Following Liquid Meat and The Nightbirds, The Pricks showcased at underground Sully Street in The Tempest—drawing their largest audience to date while putting this spot on the music map. The seven members—Brophy and T-nut (vocals), Yoch (drums), Dre (rhythm guitar), Nisan (lead guitar), Oz (bass), Chris (keyboards)—live by a motto: It’s not just the music, it’s a lifestyle. A hot, up-and-coming band, although not tied up in record deals yet, The Pricks have sponsorship from Atwater Clothing, Hoven Eyewear, and HotBox Vapors, and thus rock their styles. An entire Pricks-attire fascination has ensued, with the crowd decked out in Pricks hats, shirts, hoodies, ladies’ tank tops, you name it. These particular Pricks are moving beyond music into a cultural phenomenon.

How did a bunch of bad boys with rock instrumentation, who spit hip-hop, get under the spotlight? Pounding with a punk edge, a Pricks’ show gathers booty shakers and moshers alike, uniting to overthrow The Man, while Brophy and T-nut spit their rhymes. Exploding on a recent tour through exposure on KROQ, these guys stay loyal to their self-proclaimed status as ‘underground’ with the forthcoming “Don’t Want to Be Used” set to pop on March 5th, with entirely self-produced tracks. They consider their fans members of the group rather than a source of income.

Despite the vocalists’ insistence that the audience enjoy itself non-violently, the show at Sully Street, after only a few songs, ended in outright bloody chaos. The show was cut short, the bar closed down. Inebriated kids were hurled out. Because the Pricks are far from being dicks, they have now promised their committed fans to return to Sully Street and play the set that was cut short, because “…some pussy thought they were tough in the pit.”
