About this episode
We proudly present our first ever comedian on HardLore, in person in Los Angeles: The great (almost legendary) Shapel Lacey! Lifelong hardcore punk listener, former cheerleading champion, and comedian on the rapid rise who proudly flies the flag for hardcore music every single time he hits the stage. We learn all about Shapel's origin from being a young Mesa, AZ hardcore kid at the Nile Underground discovering the wonders of Black Flag, to University of Louisville cheerleader trying comedy on a whim at an open mic night, touring with Bert Kreischer on a bus and then headlining rooms on his own, all the way to his finding his latest love of modern hardcore in 2020 and beyond.Shapel rules and we had an incredible time getting to know him in real time as this episode progressed, and we think you'll all enjoy it just as much as we did.HardLore: A Knotfest Series Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven)Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf)Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef Cool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.comGet your FREE glasses or sunglasses if you're in a touring band or work with one from SIGHT FOR SOUND: https://sightforsound.comGet 15% off MADD VINTAGE with code HARDLORE15! https://maddvintage.com/ FOLLOW SHAPEL:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/shapellacey/ FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovng FOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe 00:00:00 - Hello Welcome00:00:57 - Introduction / Mills Vintage00:01:58 - Music or Comedy First?00:04:54 - Guitar/Bass00:06:46 - Black Flag00:09:58 - The Nile00:10:48 - Formative Local Hardcore Shows00:13:53 - Sight for Sound00:15:41 - Cheerleading00:17:32 - Henry Rollins and Stand up00:19:10 - DS-13 / That Weird Swedish Kazaa00:24:42 - The first open mic night...00:33:26 - First Stand Up Out of State00:42:06 - Ditching Cheer Practice00:45:09 - Comedians, Wrestlers and Bands00:50:51 - Bombing00:56:27 - Going Underground Recordss01:00:24 - Do You Feel like You've made It?01:01:17 - Shapel's Biggest Headline Set01:04:03 - Favorite Set of All Time01:05:44 - Walk Out Music01:07:06 - Top 4 Comedians01:13:12 - Parasoc
