Phil X, Ninette, and J-Bo Dynamite from Powder play around in an X-Box game controller commercial. If I am not mistaken, isn’t also the late Hunter S. Thompson there as well?
TonyTV has performed recently on NBC’s New game show “IDENTINY”, with Host Pen Jillette. This according to his website Tony TV. Way to go TT! I can’t wait to see it or see a tape. And the show is actually pretty entertaining, fun stuff!
Dude, did Weird Al REALLY introduce the band??? I love the song and Triumph and especially your performance. Crap man, imagine spiking all THAT hair!!! You Rock Phil!
Whoa… this is going to happen soon…
oh…
Ok, I can’t hold it back…
It’s coming NOW!

Sorry, I just had to let this one go for everyone. Merry Christmas from BiggAndyy!
With many thanks to ronnie over at the Powder website message boards we have been pointed to many fine tidbits of information and juicy dish.
First: ronnie was there at the Key Club Show and was BACKSTAGE while the Dynamic Duo of Ninette and Phil X were being interviewed. The Powdermusicfan insider has even been given a short clip of what the taping looked like.
I also have some links to some clips from the Chicago Shows this year. Thanks to everyone who took the time to record the show and put it on the internet! Keep up the good work!

Powder at Hoolbrook Festival (RARE CLIP!)

At the L.A. Leatherfest!
But don’t think I blew my entire wad posting these videos and don’t have anymore. I got a couple of videos NEVER released up my sleeve. Yup. Never seen before by anyone but me. Watch for them in a few days.
A new Reality TV Show called L.A. Indie Scene shot their pilot back in May 2006 at the Key Club in L.A. and Powder was their featured band for the pilot!
http://www.laindiescene.com/ is the Official Website of the show but I am not sure if the show has been picked up by TV or cable stations yet. Maybe someone out there a bit closer to Hollywood than I am can get me an insider tip.
It was no secret that they were taping the show, but I really want to know what became of all the excitement! Where YOU there? Can you give us some insider info?
Visit http://www.powdermusic.com for the latest on the band and keep watching for L.A. Indie Scene to show up on cable.
Podgorny Design has made what is probably Ninette’s most recognizable and most linked to outfit on the web to date.
Did you know that now you can order direct from the manufacturer the Golden Armor that Ninette wears during the Powder performance, custom fitted to YOUR size and shape?
The outfit includes gold anodized aluminum winged crown, giant steel cone bra with brass spirals, one pair of aluminum hammered “Daisy Duke” bottoms, and aluminum arm and shin guards.
So go ahead, you know you want to. Even though we know we can never sing like Ninette, or dance or perform aerials like Ninette, at least we can dress like her. (Well, maybe not me personally, but you never know).
Ninette, we love you MAMA! I can’t wait to see you selling out stadiums and coliseums and even aerodromes.
While looking for information on a new prescription I was given (antenolol) I came across a site that is better than a PDR online. It easily had the information on that common blood pressure medicine I take so I thought I would give it a challenge. My grandma was on a drug called gabapentin and I had no idea what it was for, or even if I was spelling it right. Well, I spelled it correctly but the drug was actually called Neurontin and was for seizures.
Whoa, Epocrates Online was pretty comprehensive in the information, too. And now that I am getting closer to my gastric bypass surgery I have been looking up every little med and pill that the doctors are recommending I take before and after the surgery. Side effects, drug interactions, everything is covered so I can go back to the doctor and ask intelligent questions.
I will keep epocrates online as the first place I visit for information on the prescriptions I am given or recommended to take.
Seems like the Powdermusic.com message board has gone on the fritz again. Until then you all can still post here and chat here as much as you want. I will quickly get all requests online so let’s keep the Powder Buzz going!!!
The same show. Exactly the same. Cut and Paste the same. Now I am not calling Pink a copycat. Pink has rode the wave of her career always being compared to other, more talented performers. Where they had inspiration, creativity, and spark, Pink has… um… a great ability to copy others work.
Want proof? Very easy. I have been a Powder fan for many years now and so have most people in the Los Angeles Music scene. If there is a don’t miss show playing in Hollywood or Los Angeles or even Chicago, Powder is the band being most mentioned. Ninette has taken Powder from an act, to a show, to a spectacle to behold.
Don’t believe me? Are you saying, “BiggAndyy, say it ain’t so!” Let’s look at the pictures side by side WITH dates. Pictures say a thousand words. Here are six thousand words. (Click on the images for the larger version)
Ok, so Madonna played with a chair in her video too. Not convinced? How about this…
Yeah, you are right. Ninette does do it with more style and grace. She has been doing this for years. No replacement for devotion, blood, sweat, and love. Let’s press on…
Ninette and the Femmebots have been practicing hundreds of hours to get the balance and timing right so no one gets hurt while performing these dazzling aerial spectacles. Pink? Well, she sure can copy.
Another solo suspend by Ninette and Pink. Well, Pink is just kind of dangling there hoping not to fall on her head. Ninette, wow, what support and body strength to maneuver suspended upside down. More? Yes, there is more copying of the act. Try this…
They are the same move, exactly (what a cheap knock off though) the same. But who is executing it so much more visually stunning and graceful.
So there you have it, complete photographic evidence that Pink has lost whatever imagination she had and has resorted to copying much better and, in my opinion, much more talented, performers. Pink, your 15 minutes are just about over.
