Album Notes

In 2000 Hen House Studios opened its doors in Venice, CA, announcing they would be recording independent bands for free, well kind of, the recording time was free and in exchange the sessions along with out of the studio encounters would be filmed. CD compilations were made as well as a music doc short for each band which is posted on their frequently visited website -www.HenHouseStudios.com.

Welcome 2 The Hen House is a collage of the many artists who spent time there. This unique film blends these shorts with animation and super 8 footage to create a fantastical journey through the current independent Los Angeles area music scene. A blend of young, undiscovered talent collides with such legends as Fishbone and Doors’ drummer, John Densmore who frequent the Hen House with various projects.

What started out as an experiment evolved into over 8oo hours of footage from the 100+ bands laying eggs at the Hen House. Now, after years of incubation, co-Directors Harlan Steinberger (Hen House creator and chief) and his long time collaborator/editor Tucker Stilley have hatched this documentary feature.
