The Monolators Residency Week One Videos


Cupcake The Bear Loves You!

Thanks to Miss Elaine Layabout Week 1 of The Monolators Residency at pehrspace is now available to view! The entire set is posted below.

Classical Geek Theatre broke the news yesterday that Spaceland Productions is asking Elaine to take down all her videos of local acts shot inside their venues which include Spacelad, The Echo, and The Echoplex. Read the post here. This really makes me upset.

Elaine's videos are shot with a simple still camera and while the video is not high quality it means the WORLD to bands around Los Angeles. She provides a service and a great deal of free promotion to the venues. She does not make any money off her videos so I honestly don't see what the harm in leaving these up when hundreds of cell phones videos from shows make their way onto the web everyday.

Starting today all her videos from the venues will be taken down. This will include footage from pretty much every local band in Los Angeles including footage from residencies for bands like Death To Anders, Rademacher, Mezzanine Owls, The PIty Party, Radars To The Sky, and CD release shows for Henry Clay People, and even The Monolators.

Spaceland as a public cry if you don't want people to shoot inside your venue without approval from now I'm fine with that. But PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE don't make Elaine take her videos down.

If this bothers you as much as it bothers me please speak up and let youre voice be heard.
