Hot Lixx Rocks ROCK BAND
Posted by admin on November 26, 2007So you know that new video game called ROCK BAND? If you haven’t then chances are you will soon. It is like Guitar Hero, but, like, times 10.
If you zero-in on the animated band in the background you might recognize the “classicly thin guitar-god physique” (SF Chronicle) of Hot Lixx Hulahan.
In his words:
Thanks to air guitar – and to a lesser extent my old band Your Mother – I was offered the enviable position of doing motion capture for a gotdamned video game! Seriously, air guitaring and a band that sang almost exclusively about farting and masturbating ultimately immortalized me in a video game…Whoda guessed?! After lots of phone calls and emails and posting ‘audition videos’ on YouTube at 3 in the morning I was enlisted to act out the following roles in the game: heavy metal guitar player, dramatic guitar player, and male drummer. I posted some pictures from the experience here. I had to change the names and captions to protect the nerdy.
In other news: after three months of auditions and brainstorming and trying to come to terms with selling out, Hot Lixx was denied a role in the new Little Caesars commercial campaign. They decided SF was too far away from LA and so went with a local actor instead. Conversely, Hot Lixx maintains he turned it down because they would have made him cut his hair.
