00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:11.280
what if the generic music you heard on

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:14.240
90s tv shows and movies was actually a

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:15.519
band

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.680
hi i'm hurley so what the [ __ ] happened

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:21.160
to laughing us

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:34.920
what's going on

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.760
lapping us was an industrial band formed

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:49.680
in southern california in the early 90s

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:51.600
their early material had a rawness that

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.520
was influenced by their contemporaries

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.840
like skinny puppy and fetus but once the

00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.239
band picked up white zombie soul crusher

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:00.239
they were never the same after grinding

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:02.079
in los angeles underground for years the

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:03.760
band signed with risk records and

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:06.799
released their debut ep rock in english

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.000
kong laughing us

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.960
which way is it going to go

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:14.320
that's cute little devil there by the

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:16.880
way it's just good marketing the ep was

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:18.880
followed up by the record foxy universe

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:21.360
in 1998 and the record was supported by

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:24.320
a video for the first single labor

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:29.320
and i'll be back with more after this

00:01:29.440 --> 00:01:33.959

00:02:59.990 --> 00:03:06.969
[Music]

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.040
while the album foxy universe wasn't

00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:31.200
terribly successful the licensing for

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.360
the material was laughing us was

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:34.560
featured on king of the hill and

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.159
zoolander

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.959
i totally forgot about that movie

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:40.720
this exposed the group to a wider

00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:42.400
audience but trouble was brewing in the

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:43.280
band

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.480
after filming the video for labour a

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:49.200
masterpiece by the way marky fingers and

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:51.040
belinda bump left the band leaving joe

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:53.439
ferrarci as the only original member

00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.959
ferrarchy changed the name of the band

00:03:54.959 --> 00:03:56.879
to sucker pump and began licensing new

00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.120
material the songs i want to make you

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.120
yell and on a mission found placement on

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.360
angels smallville and dawson's creek

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:06.319
i know

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:07.900
what a time to be alive right

00:04:07.900 --> 00:04:10.560
[Laughter]

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.959
but we can't stress this enough

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:16.560
there is nothing about this band online

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.320
i mean

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:19.600
nothing

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.000
sucker pump faded into obscurity and the

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.759
only way to really hear it now is in

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.840
snippets and tv shows like this

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.199
you got a taste

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.560
you want to find out what it's all about

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.720
bro

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.770

[Music]

00:04:49.780 --> 00:04:51.920
[Applause]

00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.560
[Music]

00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.080
complete versions of these songs could

00:04:56.080 --> 00:04:59.840
not be found online and trust me

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:02.320
we try the electronic elements of foxy

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:04.479
universe may seem antiquated by today's

00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:05.520
standards

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:07.199
it was an excellent representation of

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.360
the changing industrial and electronic

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.360
music scene of the time while the album

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.039
wasn't a masterpiece by any stretch of

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:15.199
the imagination it definitely held a lot

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:16.639
of promise for the band's follow-up

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.880
record but based on comments made by

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:21.120
former members online that record was

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.880
never going to happen we don't know all

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:24.560
the details of what happened to laughing

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.600
us but belinda bump simply said

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.759
the industry destroyed us

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:46.240
