Scott reads a mean review. Whatever Happened To PJ Soles? - LIVE tonight at 9.

[@Vaudiophile]

It must feel good to read a review like that, yet have a fan base that actually gets it and votes to hear it 16 years later.

[@Shambok212]

Only discovered Local H recently and I'm hooked! love the tunes lads!!

[@wesbane-aheadinabucket3463]

"Do you think he speaks with air quotes?" LMAO 😂😂😂

[@TheNewRockAlternative]

Whatever Happened to PJ Soles is one of my top albums of the 2000s, absolutely killer front to back

[@kennansnipes]

I am born, raised, and currently live in the far north of California. I love "California Songs" because I relate to being tired of the media portrayal of everything LA and NYC like that's all that exists. Plus it's a good song! One of my favorites actually.

[@ChefsBackyard]

Hey brother, my 16 year old asked us to put on your songs tonight, as we were hanging out together. Saw y'all in San Antonio Texas early 2000's (sorry, don't know what year). She hummed the melody, we started singing the words, and then we said "LOCAL H!! BOUND FOR THE FLOOR!!!. ANYWAY! THANKS FOR KEEPING MUSIC ALIVE 🎶 🎵 🙌

[@kennethpounds4092]

Scott...so great..

[@21nspired]

New fan here who is still catching up and and getting familiar with the body of work Local H has created. I really dig the vibe and wish I had dug in to hear more of them I dunno around 16-17 years ago when I first heard California Songs.

[@ndr523]

This album is a masterpiece

[@philb7431]

I love this record. Mitch can bugger off. PJ Soles was the first record I've heard from you guys a couple of years ago, then went on to Lifers (which is an amazing album imo), slowly relistening the rest of the albums but I still have a lot of digging to do. Was a Nirvana kid when I was growing up in the 90s and became a metalhead (still am), only 'discovered' Alice In Chains in the 2000s, I could say I'm ashamed but it's nothing compared to finding you guys this late hahahaha. Thanks for the awesome riffs and vocals Mr Lucas, you are a true inspiration.

[@blackphillip8486]

I loved that album when it came out even after the first listen. And loved it especially because I kinda had mixed feelings about Here Comes the Zoo tbh. The great songs were great on Zoo but it was the first album from them that had any songs I was kinda iffy on at first listen. WHTPS was straight up badass rock beginning to end imo. One of the finest rock and roll albums of my generation. So glad they are doing this one, was shocked that so many people love this one as much as me. Fans of the H have great taste obviously. Edit- I LOVE Here Comes the Zoo for the record, 5th Ave. Crazy and Rock n' Roll Professionals kinda stuck out to me at first seeming outta place but I've grown to like them and that album contains some of my all-time favorite Local H songs to boot.

[@zXnum]

Scott Lucas nails it! Love you guys.

[@brianlouks4875]

I loved it. Still do. I was stationed at Ft. Carson when it came out. You're awesome Scott. I love that you tell it like it is. LOCAL H!!!!

[@colinscholl9495]

This is an awesome idea. You’re the man and a main influence on me as a musician.

[@forloveofthepage2361]

I remember the first time I heard this album right after high school. I knew you had years of good music ahead and im so happy I was right. I have probably seen you more than every other band. It helps I live in chicago. Fuck the critics, the fans remain.

[@mr.permanent5312]

California Songs is one of my favorites

[@rob9802]

That's a critic more interested in trying to show off how much he thinks he knows, both in terms of music, and in his vocabulary. A guy who really seems to love the sound of his own voice, so to speak.

[@Dcat75thunder]

I love Local H! Keep rocking boys!

[@aprilkurtz1589]

A bit late to the party, but I remember back in the day when the Hideout used to get bands together on Tuesdays and have them play one song from one of the other bands. After we got off stage, another band, not you guys, was trash talking us. I started trash talking them back, and you scolded me. I still feel bad about it, but I never trash talked another local band again, so, thanks!

[@mutinyontheark]

One of my favorite videos is you playing Everyone Alive live. You tell some chick "Don't bother the talent" when she tries to say something, play the Heartbreaker solo, and then rip into the song. Pure rock.

[@vernathanvids]

you got a link? i'm curious!

[@mutinyontheark]

@@vernathanvids I didn't remember it 100% accurately, but I got the spirit and it's a great live cut. Here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4iblKh8n8egh6M

[@jason4906]

also, i absolutely LOVED the acoustic version of dick jones you did in that record store acoustic set.

[@ralieghTsakers]

Ahhh! Nails him on the Buffalo trace! 😁

[@tallicdeth]

Got owned like a mother, and it's one of the more sought out albums of the catalog even given Cats and Dead!

[@HasanibnSabah]

Screw it. Everything ya'll do is golden.

[@adee2569]

Love Scott and this album!!!

[@cutiepiecatloveallanimals6602]

He’s totally a hootie fan hahahahha

[@donteleone1760]

This album is gold to me, you are greatly appreciated for your musical contributions and journey

[@BiffStrongo]

Oh, man. I always thought California Songs was a jab at the Chili Peppers. I was totally on board.

[@pepsiplunge87]

This album was in my stereo for 2 years after it came out. One of my all time favorites

[@mikemorgan8775]

Have every Local H album. P.J. Soles is a great album!

[@roberthamilton1152]

Mr. Lucas. You and I had a similar conversation about who PJ Soles was/is at the house of blues in Chicago November when the Burden Brothers opened for you and Finger Eleven.

[@DannyOboy]

“Oooooooh...Bitchy” 😂

[@spiffy8576]

Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles is my favorite Local H record. PJ Soles is my favorite Local H song.

[@nickmaroni2289]

The critics of popular taste just don't get it. Never have and they never will.

[@armin10211978]

Great album

[@illegitimatetheband8450]

I didn’t even know who PJ Soles was but it is my favorite Local H album

[@johnlmcclure41]

GREAT fucking album! I remember getting to best buy before it even opened just to get my copy!!

[@TKarolDrums]

Critics “ just don’t get “. Not kidding

[@lordmaximusfarquad449]

Mitch sounds like he never had a hug from his mother

[@dawnofupheaval5848]

It IS called range! Love that! That's why I love the bands that I do!

[@tallicdeth]

I'm more curious as to if it'll ever be back in your hands again for the rights! I have been trying to find it to fill out my collection for any less than $200

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

Holy Toledo. That rare?

[@zXnum]

I watched the whole thing. Screw Mitch!

[@cirdancescles4370]

Everyone alive is a song for common folk, obviously not the ilk of the commenter Scott is responding to here. Local H continues to be some of the most real rock around. I saw Mudhoney @ the magic bag a few months ago for the first time; wanted to see them since the late 90’s and it just didn’t happen until maybe two months ago. Amazing show! BUT….there’s something more to local H shows. Just saw them AGAIN @ the Blind Pig in AA, MI, and we were actually able to get pit going for the last few songs. Not the kind of pit with people swing wildly, the kind where you’re shoving everyone around and being shoved around, and it was an amazing time! Not since the days when I saw them @ St Andrew’s in Detroit has that energy been around. (I lived in the mountains for a few years, rumspringer I guess) Saw local H last year @ the pig and whiskey festival show they played for FREE👏😈😱 I would rather see them so many more times over than SO much other music, and legitimately think others are insane for not feeling the same, but, FINE! More for me and the rest of us that LOVE this music! Scott, you played every song a fan could have wanted to hear. I lost it when you guys busted into “helter skelter” Thank you so much for all the work you have continued to create over the years! First show I caught was @ St Andrew’s 9-16-98 with Superjesus

[@determined919]

God I love Scott Lucas man

[@pis5ball]

I'm Kinda Hyped, I've Never Listened To This Album, So Let's Go.

[@leduledu5969]

Scott ... pleasee do a rig rundown !!!!!!! :D !!!! Keep on rocking in the free world Local H !!!!! .\../ :D \../.

[@EnnameMori]

"Immature, moody, somewhat sweet ode." That's a lot.

[@ky03tmoses18]

I think Dick Jones sounds a little bit like Ween. It's one of my favorite songs tbh. Love you Scott, fuck that guy. I know you don't bite style from anyone. You're music is amazing and I can listen to every album from the beginning to end. WE OUT HERE THUGGIN BABY! n.n

[@TradBarbie]

*Why haven't you come CLOSE to Detroit in FOREVER?!* You're k×××ing me Scott... ya k×××in me.

[@GrimmFLawless]

I’m a huge fan of anything Local H. Fuck those self important critics. I love you guys

[@LorenStClair]

I think it is a very good album

[@raimywinter2309]

Scott rules man

[@travistaylor2540]

Mitch, please!

[@jaredwooten6590]

Hahaha little fella seems like one of those people that gets mad when a band expands their sound.

[@donteleone1760]

This album is literally $100 for a physical copy, fuck that dude and kudos to local h for getting better with time.

[@naypalm311]

I found a "Mitch Pugh" that's the editor for the Charleston post and courier... Wondering if it's the same guy?? 🤔 Would be funny as hell to flood his email, dissing him about a album review he wrote almost 20 years ago 😂

[@rob9802]

Same guy

[@RobertSmith-zw7lf]

I live in Charleston that's hilarious

[@thecustardguys]

I'm already in to my Buffalo Trace let's goooooooooo

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

My favorite instrumental!

[@Seaniesean111]

I'm trying to buy the new Lifers album online and it's out of stock everywhere. Where can I find one to purchase?

[@1funeral2many9]

you can get it through G&P still: www.gandprecords.com/store/p128/LocalHLifers.html

[@Adrian9324-p5i]

Whatever happened to PJ soles tab?

[@kaiasmith9279]

Hi i went to your toadies and local h concert in december 31 remember that day.

[@bagamingshow]

Pj Soles might be one of your best albums. Like every second. the whole way through is so much fun. I deal in public information and deal with California city councils all fucking day, and they're the fuckin worst. I won't get into why, but yeah, I love singing about how California is a buncha self important snobs up their own asses. Though I only got into you guys like maybe 2 years ago or so, My first album of yours was Pack Up The Cats, and now I have all your stuff on CD :)

[@saxet812004]

#wheresjoe???

[@iancorbin6844]

“Mitch”

[@Whatserface1234]

He definitely didn't listen to the album.

[@SicBoisChi]

Damn I love local H

[@montebradshaw128]

I love California song! And F#@k mitch too.....😂

[@sparklu]

This is great

[@arthurguttierrez5025]

I watched it!!!! It was fuckin bad ass!!!!

[@s.corner8138]

Dude, I always like stripped down music.

[@mattsokol6380]

this is unbelievable and I never saw it before. Dont ever respond to these hacks again. "too soundgarden for its own good"! Get me this Mitch guys number. We met way after PJ Soles and I finally put together what you did for job stuff was "12 Amgry Months"! this rant includes Alanis Morisette and cookie Monster and "You Idiot" and...and I am just gonna say this now: after we became friends and I explored your catalog I did tell ya that I love that little ditty on PJ Soles called "California Songs" and somehow...everytime I tell ya I am coming to hear and see you live ...you fuckin POUND that song! ITS AWESOME! and this critique-y guy didnt even mention that it might even actually be something that actually iriitated Randy Newman?! HACK! THIS AGRESSION WILL NOT STAND MAN!

[@kylehegedus5498]

A novelty act???? Seriously????😡😡😡😡😡

[@bigdad7257]

9 tonight? Really?

[@terrymcginnis4633]

oh for fucksakes you know i never understood why if something has punk sound its called grunge?...seriously aslo fuck mainstream i barely turn on the radio anymore

[@martycray495]

I don't know what's more egregious. The constant use of unnecessary quotations for everything or the constant comparisons to other bands that make no sense. Literally none of his comparisons actually sound like the song in question.

[@saxet812004]

Dude you can't be for real

[@Burps___]

I’m sorry I denigrated PJ Soles and called your band a “novelty act”, Scott. It was a “mistake”, and I was high. Please “forgive” me. Sincerely, Mitchell Pew 🦨
