Who is low shoulder

But in his most famous role that decade, as awkward but sharp-witted teen Seth Cohen on hit primetime soap The O. The presence of Brody certainly gave Low Shoulder a timeliness and gravity it would not have had otherwise.

And for extra verisimilitude, the film filled out the band with members of real-life indie rockers Test Your Reflex -- whose frontman Ryan Levine would provide Nikolai's singing voice, and who also wrote what would serve as Low Shoulder's big song in the film, the rousing power ballad "Through the Trees. When it came time to put out a call for the song that would become "Through the Trees," with two all-time alt-rock lighter-wavers in Live's "Lightning Crashes" and Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" listed as reference points, she suggested Levine contribute.

Levine added the verses, some heart-racing riffing, and the climactic chorus lyric "I'm still here breathing now," positioning the song as a survivor's anthem. Test Your Reflex keyboardist Andrew Ampaya added some strings and pianos and helped fill out the bridge, and the song was ready to submit. Several studio-suggested revisions later, Levine's version of the song was accepted -- and he was asked to appear in the movie as Low Shoulder's guitar-playing Mick, along with Reflex drummer Sal Cortez as Chas.

Juan Riedinger, a more experienced actor, was cast as bassist Dirk -- who, outside of Brody, has the most dialogue in the movie -- while TV actor Colin Askew rounded out the lineup as the group's unnamed keyboardist. It's the only song Low Shoulder play in their two performance scenes in the movie lip synced by Brody, to Levine's vocal : first at the dive bar , before getting interrupted by a deadly fire that the leads barely escape, and then at the characters' high school dance, after the band has ridden the exposure from the ensuing tragedy to massive local and national popularity.

Over the two performances, Brody's Nikolai evolves from shrugging indie rock frontman to full Brandon Flowers, peacocking around the stage and turning "Trees" into his own "All These Things That I've Done.

The song's chorus also pops up throughout the movie, sung by the Devil's Kettle townsfolk at a memorial, embraced by the girls' classmates in school, and even infuriating Needy when it comes on her car stereo. So "Trees" had to be both plausibly rousing, and understandably annoying. Cody is even more effusive when looking back on Low Shoulder's signature hit: "I think 'Through the Trees' slaps!

But for as unshakeable as "Through the Trees" is, the Low Shoulder moment from Jennifer's Body that really stays with you ten years later is still the sacrifice sequence. The scene is centered around Nikolai's jarringly dispassionate embrace of his band's partnership with Satan -- and thanks to both his note-perfect reading and Cody's inspired script, some of his lines are so cutting and absurd that you can't help but crack up at them.

Or do you want to be rich and awesome , like that guy from Maroon 5? But Brody's nonchalant magnetism is starkly contrasted with Fox's livewire performance as the quintet's victim, attempting in vain to appeal to their humanity with sobbing pleas for her life. Just reacting to being devalued. It's one of the most surreal scenes to appear in a mainstream 21st century movie, both side-splitting in its humor and absolutely unnerving in its horror.

And I think what we had agreed on was that it had to be real -- she had to kind of invest in her performance with something real, even when people were making horrific jokes around her as their characters. The horror of it was just that. Though the scene was never easy viewing, it's particularly stomach-churning to watch in , when the subject of predatory behavior between rock artists and their fans is such a recurring and uningnorable topic of conversation.

While the setup in Jennifer's Body is almost too cartoonish to be taken seriously -- as much bad behavior as this generation of indie stars has been accused of, Satanic fan sacrifices would be a new one -- it's also remarkably easy to see Low Shoulder's treatment of Jennifer as a band simply abusing their power over one of their young, impressionable fans in the most brutal way possible.

And though Levine and Brody both admit that they hadn't much considered the scene in this context while filming it, it was a theme very much on the minds of Cody and Kusama. You know, people found it charming that Led Zeppelin had year-olds on the road with them. So like, obviously things are perceived a little bit differently now. And remains true today, sadly. Kusama says that the mixture of comedy and horror was what drew her to Jennifer's Body -- with the film's humor compounding the brutality of its violence.

She points out that in discussion of the movie at the time, the sacrifice sequence was referred to as "the gang rape scene," despite the band showing no sexual interest in Jennifer whatsoever.

Low Shoulder took Jennifer into the woods and offered her as a virgin sacrifice to Satan in exchange for fame and fortune. However, although the sacrifice and greedy exchange were a success, Jennifer was not a virgin, and when Nikolai Adam Brody murdered her, a demonic spirit took over her body.

This would lead to the murders of Chip and several others in Devil's Kettle by the possessed Jennifer, which would force Needy to kill Jennifer. Meanwhile, the members of Low Shoulder gained popularity due to their rumored heroism during the fire and offer to make a charity appearance at the school's spring formal. Set upon revenge for what was done to Jennifer and her, Needy escaped the mental facility she was sent to and hitchhiked a ride to the hotel where Low Shoulder are staying; there, she slaughters four of the members, leaving Nikolai as the final one standing before she stabs Nikolai through the heart with the knife, killing him.
