The lead singer of Local H, Scott Lucus, is getting ready to release his first solo album ever! He is working with producer Andy Gerber in Chicago to create this record.

You can already listen to some of the demo songs for Scott’s solo project on his myspace page. Be sure to signup with myspace.com so you can leave Scott a comment and let him know what you think of his new songs.

Will keep you posted with any new news about a release date.

Local H is running a new contest called “Michelle (again) Video Contest“.

The contest runs from now till December 5th 2008. If your name is Michelle, e-mail a photo of yourself to michellevideo@shoutfactory.com.

For more information on this contest please visit LocalH.com or visit the myspace group page for this contest at http://groups.myspace.com/michelleagainvideocontest

Thanks to Twiter I have found a recent Local H interview with and Scott Lucas by ‘Between The Bars’ blog.

BTB: The album also kind of reminds me a little of the Rolling Stone’s After Math or maybe even Marvin Gaye’s Here, My Dear. Were you inspired by either of these or any other breakup album?

SL: Well, I’m surprised to hear you say that. Those two records along with Blood on the Tracks were the major touchstones of this record. They were the MAJOR sources of inspiration and, like, sort of road maps. Um, so, yep, that was exactly what we were going for – sort of getting back to that kind of thing.

You can check out the full interview here at the ‘Between The Bars’ blog.

Because election day is upon us I have decided to post the following song “President Forever” from Local H. I find it somewhat fitting.

I’m president forever
I’m head of state and here to stay
The officer elect all of your life
I’m the leader till the end of your days

I’m president forever
Accountable to no one no more
Daddy look at me, I’m a big boy now
A brat to the manor born

Who wants to go back to war with Iraq
Who wants to shoot a sling shot full of rocks of crack
Who wants to go and give the french Their fuckin’ statue back
I want to take it all

I’m president forever
America, you found your man
If we can all agree on this one thing
You know you’ll never have to vote again

I’m president forever
I finally get to do it my way
I wanna take a ride in Airforce One now

Laugh in the face of the national debt
I wanna build the free world and make them pay back rent
I wanna take the statue back from the fuckin’ french
Dad, i’ll make you proud
I’m president forever

Piss up and down the walls of the Oval Office
Pal around with the boys in the Secret Service
Calling my connection for a party at Camp David
the first lady’s not invited
the first lady’s not invited

I’m president forever
I’m president forever

Who wants to go back to war with Iraq
Who wants to shoot a slingshot full of rocks of crack
Who wants to go and give the french their fuckin’ statue back
I wanna take it all

Laugh in the face of the national debt (take it all, take it all)
I wanna build the free world and make them pay back rent (take it all, take it all)
I wanna take the statue back from the fuckin’ french (take it all, take it all)
Dad, i’ll make you proud (take it all, take it all)
I’m president forever ”

G and P Records ( The official online store for all Local H merchandise) has released a new Local H T-Shirt. The new shirt costs a messily sixteen bucks and features Scott and Brian rocking out.

G&P Records has a brand spanking new Local H Rock T-Shirt for sale for $16! The new t-shirt is different than any other t-shirt that G&P Records has sold before because, instead of silkscreen printing, it uses a direct-to-garment technology. That technology was used for the shirt in order to show the detail of the picture. As mentioned, you can order your shirt now for $16 in S, M, L, XL, and XXL

So head on over to GandPrecords.com and support the greatest band ever by buying the new T-Shirt.

Hey Everyone, I just got my hands on some new Local H tour information. Looks like the guys are pretty busy for the next two months. Lets show our support by going to as many shows as possible!

I wonder who I have to call to get them to come to Juneau AK?

Continuing our hard work to update the H corner website, we found that we were missing some Local H lyrics. The NO Fun EP, and Whatever Happened To P.J. Soles where both missing lyrics from the site. Well we have recently fixed that oversite and fired the person who let that happened. Please take a moment to see all of our Local H lyrics in the lyrics section of The H Corner.

I recently did an over hall of the tabs page on The H Corner. After the website move to Wordpress the guitar tabs where hanging out in all kinds of places on the webserver. I have since consolidated the tabs into one location. With lots of help from Mark, we have added several new tabs and updated old ones. I have also found that for some albums we are missing tabs. These missing tabs are displayed on the tabs page but are not linked to anything. If you want to help us find or create these missing tabs please shoot me an e-mail.

One of the other things I have been working on is a favicon for the website. So now, if you look at the top of your browser on the left of your URL bar you should see a nice big back and white “H” icon. It’s a miner thing but it needed to be done.

Next on the H Corner todo list, we want to add new images to the gallery and maybe even give the gallery and update. Update lyrics and work on some new downloadable content.

Adding some new and updated tabs from the “Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles” Album.

• Where Are They Now?
• Dick Jones
• Money On The Dresser
• Buffalo Trace
• That’s What They All Say
• Halycon Days (Where Were You Then?)

We are also adding “Disgrunled Christmas” and “Tag Along” which are not found on any of the bands main albums. Please check out all of our other tabs.

We’re coming at you with seven more guitar tabs today. From the album ‘Twelve Angry Months’ we have The One With “Kid”, Michelle, White Belt Boys, Summer of Boats, Taxi Cabs. We also have Stoney from “Pack Up The Cats”.

Be sure to check out the tabs section of the H Corner to find other Local H guitar tabs.

We hope you enjoy these guitar tabs. We would like to let everyone know that we welcome any contribustions or corrections to any of the tabllature located on this site.
