ChinaShop Presents Rock

Featured Music ChinaShop ROCKS At The Viper Room

November 21, 2011 - 5:43 pm

On Friday the air was ripe with the flavor of Rock n Roll at the one and only Viper Room on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. ChinaShop presented its first official collaborative night with the venue and it was intoxicating. Skirts were short, the music was extraordinary, the give-a-way was quality and smiles were in abundance. If you missed it, I’m sad for you…

But you can relive the experience through the photos. With a little photo shop magic and some creative lies you could always insert yourself…or you could just come out to our next night Friday, January 13th.

Sean and Juliette Beavan were married for seven years before they discovered a hidden dimension to their marriage, the ability to make phenomenal music together. Sean, a music producer known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, was finishing up a project for Kill Hannah when he came across the need for a female singer. In a pinch, he had his wife throw some vocals on a track. “Sean threw me in the booth, not knowing if I could sing but figuring he could make it work. I figured the same thing, but after it was over, I’d been bitten,” says Juliette who explains that she fell in love with the experience. “Sean came home that night and asked if I wanted to try writing music together and we’ve been doing it since.”

8MM is bringing their unique trip-hop meets Noir pop sound to ChinaShop Presents: Rock on 11/18 at the Viper Room. In a conversation with Juliette and Sean, they discuss their love for working together and how fans confessing to having sex to one of their tracks is a regular occurrence.
