April 2008 Archives
After a lengthy tour around the US - including stops in Austin, Nashville, Canada and Denver - Larry Bagby is playing in LA again on Wednesday April 30th at the Cat Club. This time around, he is performing with Justine Bennett - with whom he just recorded the album 'Two not One.' They are also competing in the Nashville Star television show - like American Idol, but for country-esque music - and that starts airing in June with host Billy Ray Cyrus.
This will be Larry and Justine's only Los Angeles show before they hit the road again, so come over to the Cat Club Wednesday night. They play at around 10ish, right after Jim Carrey's daughter Jane Carrey and her band play. So you can see Daughter of the Mask followed by Larry - who appeared in the movie Walk the Line as Johnny Cash's bass player and in a KFC commercial that's running now. (The commercial has two kids and two adults at a table and one of the kids calls the woman 'Nancy' and she objects. Larry is the husband/father).
Check 'em out at the show...and also here.
What you do know is that Jason Segel's movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall - that he wrote and stars in - came out on Friday. What you might not know is that he is a Harvard-Westlake School graduate and was part of the Wolverines state basketball championship team in the 1995-1996 season. In fact, Segel actually quit playing ball in his senior season to focus on trying to be an actor - then he appeared in the movies Can't Hardly Wait, Dead Man on Campus and SLC Punk! two years later. His big break came in 2000 when he met Judd Apatow and began appearing in his many projects including the shows Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared and the movie Knocked Up, among others. He is now a regular on the TV series How I Met Your Mother, which recently featured guest star Danica McKellar - also from Harvard-Westlake.
In a story about Segel that appeared in the Daily News on October 30, 1996, Segel said that he would invite his then-basketball teammates - including now-NBA players Jason and Jarron Collins - to his first movie premiere. I wonder if he did.
