Svengali is a detective show that includes murder, music,sex,intrigue and a drunk detective ( John Roecker) battling it out with the evil professor (Tim Armstrong). The series is an homage to the 1970’s detective shows (I.e. Drinking, smoking, not p.c.) of yesteryear but set in 2010 using the city of Los Angeles as a back drop. Shot guerilla style with no permits or taste this is one web series people will never forget. A series so shocking and sexy it will satisfy your bad taste palette more than “cougar town”could! Special guest star jane wiedlin from the go-go’s also makes an appearance. The show will run though march. For immature audiences only. You have been warned!

Check out the trailer here.

In a recent interview with Exclaim Lagwagon‘s Joey Cape commented in the future of the band, mentioning that bassist Jesse Buglione has (more or less) quit the group:

I can be honest and say that I’m pretty sure we don’t have a bass player. I think our bass player, Jesse [Buglione]… he would probably sit in a room with me and say, “Don’t say that,” but he’s basically quit our band. He’s made it pretty clear that he can’t keep touring because he has to have a real job and make a living. He has a child and a mortgage; that’s real stuff, I get it. I totally get that, I don’t think anything bad about that at all, but that makes it hard for me to be motivated about doing things with the band because there’s only a few original members in the band.

It’s a weird thing when I think about that band. It’s hard to give any kind of good answer. It’s always just kind of a little bit of sadness. But I’m always up for doing something with that band. I would really be into doing the one-song thing with that band. because making a record is such a drag with a band. It just takes so much time. I think something like what I’m going to do is a great idea for Lagwagon. It would be super easy for us to get together once a month and write and record a song, or do two or three every few months.
