Their influences varied from early Marine Girls and Raincoats records to screaming toungue in cheek punk rock. The bands name was a word they made up when speaking about the characters in their favorite book and film 'Valley Of The Dolls' (required reading for all band members).
Playing their first show at Churchills Hideaway (Miami's version of CBGB's) as so many of South Florida's super stars did ( The Eat, Charlie Pickett, Screamin' Sneakers, Marilyn Manson, Harry Pussy, Jack off Jill, Trash Monkeys to name a few) Pillmagnet started playing in spring 1996 and continued all around the south for the next 6 years.
Guitarist, painter and singer Libby Bentley, (a member of Fort Lauderdale's unforgettable all girl band Morbid Opera) and Mike Szymanski,(bass), her long time friend and occasional room mate wanted to be in a band together, so in early 1996 Mike and Libby joined forces with the fledgling Justin McNeal (who played guitar based on a coin toss between him and Mike) and the far more seasoned Lauracet Simpson(drums, fresh off Jack off Jill 's tour with Lords of Acid ), and from day one they knew they had something special, writing 6 songs that night. Not only that, they had a blast together. From then on you rarely saw one band member out in the clubs at night without the other.
They played gig after gig opening for their friends bands like close friends and South Florida staplesThe Livid Kittens eventually opening for national acts likeJoydrop. That show was a turning point for the band as the club filled to the rafters during Pillmagnet's set only to clear out for the headlining Joydrop.
Club owners took notice. If ticket sales were low for a touring act they turned to Pillmagnet as an opening act to bring in the party crowd. From drag queens to drunks, club owners loved the liquor sales.
The band self released a 'cassette only' called "Eww Gross It's The Pillmagnets" which they sold at shows and got them some local air play. In 1998 they tried to record a 'proper' debut CD and "Love Potion #69" was the result of that effort; produced patiently by ex-Frankie Goes To Hollywood bassist Mark O'Toole
In between these releases the band recorded at the famed Miami Beach recording studio Synch Studio's. Produced by Miami's first man of punk rock;Rat Bastard (Laundry Room Squelchers, Rat Cafeteria Rat wanted a 'live' recording of the band so in the fall of 1997 "Live At Synch" was recorded with Rat at the board. "Live at Synch" gives you a pretty good idea of what Pillmagnetsounded like out in the clubs, on a good night, maybe. Just add beer and the drunken sounds of a loyal following.
The band stayed together till 2002 and were voted the best worst band to break up in South Florida said The Sun Sentinel in their Best and Worst issue of City Link that year.

I am 55, I saw this 1967 movie for the first time when I was about 12,
maybe 1972 or so. I have watched this scene maybe 100 times. Some people
say the movie on the whole of it was campy, okay maybe. In all
fairness, most movies in those days were a bit campy at least by today's
standards. But, there was nothing campy about THIS scene. In my
estimation one of the 3 or 4 most heaviest, most dramatic scenes ever in
film. When Neely comes to the realization that here whole world has
crashed again... HEAVY. We are all aware of Patty's story. On the whole
of it, she seemed not satisfied with her acting career. For whatever
the reasons, she didn't get the roles later that she thought she should
have, or could have. Sometimes I think people make the mistake of
measuring success in terms of volume, how many things did I get to do?
We often forget to measure an actor's success in terms of magnitude...
how good were the things that I did? That scene was one of the 3 or 4
most dramatic, heaviest scenes ever in film. And that makes Patty Duke
one of the best actors ever in film.

It took me a while to get it but I get the scene now. Everyone she was calling for left her due to her behavior, when she calls out her name she is calling for herself, the person she once was. the person she no longer is. Damn that is deep and very sad. She lost herself and in her time of need, she couldn't even comfort herself, cause that person is gone.
Kristina B.
Very deep thanks, She was depressed and out of it

@Kristina B. I'm alone too, and drink to ease the misery, love of my life of 23 years died of cancer last year as well as beloved mom, all alone ..with shit unsupportive friends that is worse than being alone, hang in there all u need is yourself ,as I am doing.
Spaniard_Flower25
I always that her calling her own name was her way of beating down on herself for pushing all her true friends away by her mistakes and behavior...
Kristina B.
So sad. I understand as I am alone and drink every day. Friends are gone and family one far away plus health
Jose Melendez
I like your comment,this film has been discussed as campy trash , but it's really a warning to us

When I was a kid I could stay up as late as I wanted on the weekends. I remember this movie came on and it changed my life. I was Obsessed with it. Sharon Tate killing herself because she knew her career was over. Barbara Parkins finally getting her sh*t together and going back home. And Neely in the ally calling out her own name.. Oh. My. God. Everyone said it was cheesy and campy, I didn't care. To to this day I ADORE this movie. That's my commercial. Thank you. #NEELY O'HARA!!!!!"
Kristina B.
I love this movie
randomkeir
The way she says “Jennifer..” makes me sad because we all know what happened to Sharon Tate 😔
