Realizing that sex and rock and roll have always walked hand-in-hand, Playboy and Black Dragon Inc. have banded together to produce a monthly music-based online series called "Sex & Rock n Roll." Hosted by Playboy Playmates, each episode presents an interactive experience with an artist.
The current episode of "Sex & Rock n Roll" features Boston's Godsmack, and is hosted by Playmates Gillian Bonner (Miss April 1996) and Brande Roderick (Miss April 2000), who take viewers along to a performance by the band, as well as through interviews, behind the scenes footage, and a poolside party at the Playboy Mansion.
In August, the series will visit with Papa Roach in Las Vegas, filmed prior to the band's current stint on the Warped Tour.

Founding DEVO members Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale have teamed up with shockwave.com to create Club DEVO, described as "a virtual cabaret [that] plays host to an ever changing roster of devolved musical artists."
"In the beginning, DEVO was not really a band," Casale said in a statement. "It was an audio-visual, performance art concept based on the idea of de-evolution. Now at Club DEVO, you will see more figments of our collective imagination... the content in Club DEVO can be more evocative, funny, dark and nasty than ever before -- exactly what our legions of fans would expect from DEVO."
The debut song in Club DEVO is "It's All Good" by the fictitious DEVO alter ego band, Big Dirty Farmers.
