SEX-O-RAMA 3: Menage a Trois
In the late 1980s, Haywood Jablomi and Thomas "Fingers" Chelsea met on the set of an adult film in the San Fernando Valley to discuss music for the movie. Together, they have been funkin' their way through the pornos for over 20 years. With Haywood on bass and Tom on guitar, the band was joined by keyboardist Sid Getzoff and drummer Richard "Dick" Long. They called the first incarnation of their group "The SEX-O-RAMA Band."
"At first" says Haywood, "we were young and we were only in it for the money....well...the money and the sex....but mostly the money".
Their first album, cover versions of music from classic 1970s pornos, disappeared mysteriously in late 1997. Soon after that, they released a second album of original music in 1998, which included the hit "Love Muscle."
The album was a critical disaster. Dick famously ranted "The critics are all gay!" which didn't help their case. Soon the band found themselves doing what they do best, writing film scores for the Adult Entertainment Industry once again.
In 2003, Dick died suddenly, while snorting cocaine off a pornstar's attributes. The official report said he died of a heart attack.
The next year, the band was joined by drummer Ivan Ardon from San Diego, who got his start drumming for live sex shows in Tijuana.
In 2004, The Sex-O-Rama Band shortened their name to simply "Sex-O-Rama."
"We started recording Sex-O-Rama 3 back in 2004. All the sex and drugs slowed down production," Haywood says. "but if you want to do an album right, it's gonna take extra time." They finished recording in April of 2011.
"The sessions were great! In the outside world the Bush administration was cracking down on indecency. But up in the studio, we were all celebrating it." The band were so busy celebrating, they missed the 2008 election altogether and didn't realize that Bush had left the White House.
"For the latest album, we brought in some talent to sing and act on several tracks. We liked the acting best. They really gave it their all."
"Yes" says Haywood, "at first we were only in it for the money. But later we realized that this music can make two or more people come together, and that makes it the greatest music ever and we were born to play it!"
