The show’s grand finale, ‘Holy Shit’ was immortalized in August 2007, when the Showtime Network used it as the centerpiece of their On-Air Promo campaign entitled, ‘The Best Sh*t on Television’, featuring a montage from the Original Series: Weeds, Dexter, the Tudors, and others, in what may be the first R-rated ad campaign in the history of American Television.     A comet is heading toward earth,  and all of the show's characters and plotlines are made to face their end.   Inspired by one of the Centralia members, Jat Rhoderick, who, as he ran away from the dustcloud in lower Manhattan during 911,  repeatedly exclaimed 'oh sh*t, oh sh*t, oh sh*t' even as he recogzined his last words might be 'oh sh*t'.

In 2003, Josh released his first solo original CD, the deeply personal Biblical Digital, he describes as ‘the soundtrack to my spiritual awakening’. CDBaby.com made it a featured editor’s pick and wrote, “From epic, dramatic, thunderous and sweeping like a film score to intimate, visceral, well-directed plaintive lines, this electronic album encompasses a full spectrum of light and dark, of mind and emotion, simply rotating around creativity and musical voice rather than any particular genre indications.” That same year,  he began an independent children’s project,  FunkeyMonkeys,  which aimed to impart more conscious and spiritual values than those dictated by the corporate children’s marketplace.  To date,  FunkeyMonkeys includes 5 CDs, a live band & Off-Broadway show, and several short videos. In 2002, Josh joined the accalimed improv comedy and spontaneous theater troupe, Centralia, as accompanist and musical director, which led to the 2002 Fringe Festival Musical Generica.

"Originality disappeared with Iggy Pop!"  "Rock music lacks melody." One man proves these statements to be completely FALSE!  With the release of his latest album "Heir of Mystery" Lord Russ is breaking boundaries while mending and bending the fence that divides musical genres.  This album is as beautiful, lush, and spiritual as it is rocking, powerful, and debaucherous.  It harkens back to an age of mellotrons and electric sitars, while blasting to the future with pulsing beats and driving guitars.  Its haunting melodies target your nostalgia bone, while buoying your heart to new and modern shores.  With his dynamic voice, Lord Russ croons, swoons, and balloons, puffing and plowing through the cosmos like a meteor on its way to end the age of music before it, to make way for a new beginning, born of his molten mind.  On stage, Lord Russ is known for his dazzling energy and sometimes controversially spontaneous antics.  This is where he truly shines.  Part dancer, part preacher, part lizard, he is THE frontman of our time.      110% is not enough!  And one concert will be all it takes to convert any skeptic.   SCOTT LAWSON POMEROY is an Internationally Recognized Vocalist, Songwriter and Touring Musician having spent well over a decade as Lead Vocalist for Orange Crush - Scott has continued to add to his already impressive music resume, with original songs featured on 4 major television networks in the past few years.

Although brief in existence, the band did manage to get the song included on a Warner Brothers produced compilation, which was distributed throughout the U.S and Canada. Working with David Lindley (Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Terry Reid) inspired Scott to excel at lap steel and slide guitars, and subsequent tours from Philadelphia (with guitarist Steve Morse of the Dixie Dregs/Deep Purple) to Portland, Maine (with Bluegrass Icon David Grisman) to Boston (with Marianne Faithfull, Luka Bloom and Texas) soon followed. Relocating to the Ocean State f Rhode Island, Scott formed the Country Rock band Radio Ranch (later called "The Ranch") and performed all over the Northeast in support of the nations top country acts through the mid '90s. Martina McBride, Patty Loveless, Ricky Scaggs, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Riders in The Sky, John Conlee all took the stage after Scott first served as the opening act's lead singer and frontman. A few shows with local blues legends Roomful Of Blues soon took Scott into another direction. Scott briefly morphed into alt-country enigma Zip Cody and played for an extended time with such headliners as James Montgomery, Luther Guitar Junior Johnson, Sleepy LaBeef. Playing blistering slide guitar and screaming delta Blues reached a climax in 2000 with the release of "Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive" before new projects came calling.
