Har Mar Superstar: The Interview

By Conan the Destroyhhher

If there was an individual that successfully traversed into the mainstream and back into his indie roots, it would be one Har Mar Superstar! The overweight sex symbol has done it all. He has written songs for The Cheetah Girls, J-Lo, Kelly Osbourne, and Britney Spears (although Britney's management rejected it, but hey her loss~!).

He's also supported the like of The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sia!


This sexy beast of seduction is known for his sexually charged shows which girls clamor to, and fall for such delicacy and lust! He sings, writes pop tunes, breakdances and strips until he ends up in his tight whities!

Har Mar made a cameo appearance in 2004 remake of "Starsky and Hutch" as the unbeatable "Dancing rick!" and that was not the only time you would see him on a screen! He did the usual talk show route performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Never mind The Buzzcocks (TV gameshow in the U.K.) and The Sharon Osbourne show. He is also the face of Vladivar Vodka (which accompanied a rather saucy advert....Too hot for T.V.) as well as the "Clickers" campaign for Lynx body deodorant

We talk to Har Mar Superstar (who just got off the Neon Neon tour) about his career as a R n' B singer, sexual deviant and the horrors which was the New Zealand leg of the Red Hot Chili Peppers tour (you ought to be ashamed of yourselves Aucklanders!)

Hey Har Mar Superstar thanks for talking to us exclusively on Nerdy Frames seems as how we're only a peon blog and not some mainstream publication like........Anyways I love your music, you know the whole "D.U.I", "Power Lunch" H.A.R.M.A.R. and "Body Request". So for those Aucklander's and the rest of New Zealand who are slow on the uptake, can you give us a refresher on who Har Mar Superstar is? The man behind the sexual myth.


I was raised by a pack of R+B sexual predators in the iron range of Minnesota.They raped and pillaged until I came along as a little bundle of joy teaching them valuable lessons of life, love, and tolerance. Through their newfound inner-peace we forged a new system of finessing ladies into bed through slick jams, sly whispers, and unholy requests.


This also helped keep us in heated homes through those cold winter nights. I guess the world was ready, so I followed my spirit animal on travels across the globe spreading my teachings. Now people trek to me in attempts to learn from the master. It's been very fruitful.



BTW what's up with those lovely shows you put on? I mean there are a whole lot of woman in the audience aching at the knees wanting to throw their panties at you, even to the point of giving you a rather lengthy smooch.

My shows are an extension of the hot jams I write. It's a forum for everyone to get involved. People can't resist an R+B scrub. It's all about sweat and pheromones. Let's chalk it up to human nature

Okay clear this up with me. Where does your name originate from?

Is it from your Twin brother Harold Martin Tillman, or is it really from a mall in Roseville, Minnesota funnily called The "Har Mar Mall"?

The actual Har Mar Mall in Roseville, MN.!

I pretended to be my brother for a long time. That was all just to fuck with people. My name is Sean Tillmann, and I did indeed take my name from the Har Mar Mall in Roseville, MN. I spent many hours at the food court writing sexually about passers-by. Little did I know it would become a career. Also, the commerce of said mall has never been better!



Here's Another BTW moment for you, I just love those lynx effect adverts featuring yourself and 2 helpless men trying to get themselves some...you know pootang. I'm having a super hard time with my seduction technique with woman around Auckland because...and how can I say this.........woman in Auckland are ugly within the personality department, but have meat in all the right places. Could you give us some tips for our lonely bachelors out there?

Har Mar Superstar Clicks for LYNX

I can't say I've had the same experiences with the lovely women of Auckland, but the only advice I can give is be yourself and try to blurt out sexual advances during inappropriate moments of conversation. Seriously. It works.

You have to catch people off guard. No messing around. You have to get to the point before conversation becomes stale. The other key thing is to become really good at sex. It helps

Neon Neon...anyone look familiar?

Okay lets talk music. Tell us your involvement with Neon Neon, the band which features Boom Bip and Super Furry Animals, Gruff Rhys?

Neon Neon with Har Mar and yes that is a Delorean

I co-wrote a song called "Trick for Treat" on the Neon Neon album with Boom Bip, Gruff, and Spank Rock. It became a minor hit in different areas of the globe, so when it came time for them to tour the record they asked me to come along.


I love the album and the guys, so I found the offer irresistible. It has been a joy traveling with them. We have played tons of festivals, club gigs, and the Mercury Prize awards show. All good times. I come out about halfway through the show and blow people's minds... then I play synth drums and some bass as well as singing.

And what about your own projects to date. Will there be another Har Mar Superstar or Sean Na Na album in the works? We promise we won't get it from those thieving bit-torrent geeks (as if we knew how to use bit-torrent!)

The new Har Mar Superstar album is about 80% recorded and mixed. I think it's my best stuff to date. I'm just waiting to figure out the best way to release it and in the meantime I'll be working on some newer tracks for it. I already have collaborations with Boom Bip, The Bird and the Bee, P.O.S., Adam Green, Samaire Armstrong, John Fields, and the Faint ready to go. Be excited

This is Sean Na Na.....come on people@!

As far as Sean Na Na goes I have been writing songs infrequently for the project. It has become somewhat of a hobby lately. Who knows? Someday it could become a full-time thing again.


Other than those two I have a slew of new collaborations that need to be finished and titled, so we'll see. I feel like personality 3 is lurking inside me somewhere



Other than your main musical project, your name is on the lips of some the most prolific pop stars to date penning the likes of J-lo and Disney's own "Cheetah Girls". How did this come about? Were you approached?

Penned some songs for The Cheetah Girls (Yes that's Robert Kardashian's girl friend on the far right!)



And J-LO had the Har Mar touch!

There aren't too many lyric/melody writers out there anymore, so I get calls frequently to come help out on pop jams. I love doing it, so I always jump at the opportunity. It helps you get outside of your own head and take things to a new level you wouldn't have gone.

Now I didn't want to bring this up with you, but our readers wanted to know what really happened on the New Zealand leg of the Red Hot Chili Peppers tour? From what a friend told me who went to the concert you were opening for them, and were not well received from our Audience....which we apologize in advance.



The Chili Peppers tour was amazing. It was a real project for Fab, Tony, and I. Some nights we'd get onstage and be booed horribly and hit with whatever the people had available to get rid of... mostly change (those Aussie 50 cent pieces fucking hurt). Other nights the crowd was really into it. We had to be creative. Some nights I would come out in my underwear and gradually get dressed. They loved it! It really depends on which show people were at. The Chili Peppers are amazing people and love us, so that was all that really mattered in the end. I like taming a hostile crowd. It really helps pass the time.




If done differently would you do another tour to New Zealand under Har Mar Superstar? Please!!!!!? Our woman are kinda beautiful.



I definitely want to come back to NZ. I love it there. You guys are really into bungees. Down or up. You don't give a fuck. Extreme peeps. I'll be back!

Possible example of kinda beautiful: Lisa Lewis

So where can our readers get their fix of The Har Mar sex sound?

I would say check out myspace.com/harmarstar for a start. If you like what you hear check out iTunes or a multitude of websites you can steal the jams from. Most people like the songs from the Handler and You Can Feel Me the best.

And lastly do you have any wise words to part upon us to our hopeless Auckland masses who don't know a good thing when they hear it?

You should really learn to know a good thing when you hear it. I'm the fucking best!


Oh and even lastly.......are you still collecting unicorns?

My bedroom is definitely all unicorns. Lamps, paintings, sculptures, outsider art... I love those mythical beasts. They help me drift into dreamland. Also, ladies think it's off-putting, which only helps me seduce them through their dizzied thoughts.

Thanks for talking to Nerdy Frames Har Mar Superstar!


Oh here is our gift to Har Mar.......a beautiful set of Unicorn illustrations!

N.E.R.D.Y. would like to thank H.A.R.M.A.R superstar....yes kids there is hope that Har Mar Superstar will return to our shores!
