The High Speed Scene - The High Speed SceneThe members of this generic L.A. alt-rock trio must’ve thought they died and gone to heaven the day that Pharrell Williams of hip-hop stars the Neptunes called to say that he and Chad Hugo wanted to sign the band to their Star Trak artist roster. Just a little puzzling too. Even weirder, Hugo and Williams then included the High Speed Scene’s “Fuck & Spend” on their compilation The Neptunes Present…Clones, alongside Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and N.E.R.D., which topped the charts. Some bands have all the luck.
