Two New Challenges

These are two challenges that have defeated me so far:

#1: Kevin Bacon

I know we can get Kevin Bacon into the tree, but I haven't figured out how yet.

Kevin Bacon -> Bacon Brothers -> Michael Bacon -> Good News -> Larry Gold -> Salsoul Orchestra

That gets us to the Philadelphia soul scene, but I can't link from there into anything we have in the tree, although there a few ways to almost get us there.

#2: Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves -> Dogstar -> Bret Domrose -> The Nuns

We have the Nuns in the tree already, but I don't think Domrose ever recorded with the band, so that appears to be a dead end.

Keanu and Robert Mailhouse of Dogstar now both play in some band called Becky, which features Rebecca Lord on vocals and Paulie Kosta on guitar. Rebecca Lord was on one of the Real World series for MTV, but apparently may have also been a porn star (seriously, good luck googling her name. my goodness). Can't find anything on Paulie Kosta other than that he also goes as Durnan Sawchuk. They've recorded songs on their website, but don't have any records for sale on their merch page.

On a related note - Kevin Bacon's son is in a crusty-punk band. It would be cool to get him in as well.

Haha, funny you should mention that Scott. Kevin Bacon's son, Travis Bacon, was also in a hardcore band called Running The Guard with some friends of mine in addition to his crust-punk band, Terror Level Red. I sometimes see Travis at shows but I've never actually met or spoken to him.

Amit, the vocalist of Mother Night, keeps telling me his dream is to find Travis at a show, confiscate his cell phone, call the entry for "Mom" and drunk dial his mother, Kyra Sedgwick, and ask her questions about The Closer, that TV show she's in on the USA Network. Hasn't happened yet, but if it ever does, that'd be funny as hell.

While we're on the subject of actors, I just got Johnny Depp (and the slightly less famous Sal Jenco)into the queue through their shortlived band with Gibby Haynes.

We'll be able to get Jared Leto in just as soon as Angels & Airwaves release their new album featuring Matt Wachter, formerly Leto's bandmate in 30 Seconds To Mars.

Paul Bradley is queued. Those in the US may remember him as Warlock from "The Young Ones". At least, that's how I know of him.

Zoe Deschanel sandboxed. She is one part of a duo with M. Ward. He has played live with a few indie acts like Bright Eyes and My Morning Jacket, but I don't think he has ever been a member of a proper band. Maybe he is part of a live Bright Eyes lineup?
