Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles?, Local H's fifth studio album, came out on Studio E Records on April 6, 2004, the second record from the lineup of Scott Lucas on vocals, guitar and bass and Brian St. Clair on drums. The Zion, Illinois-born, Chicago-based band was still working as a two-man wrecking crew, and they still made more racket than most five-pieces.
The title tips its hat to P.J. Soles, the actress from Halloween, Rock 'n' Roll High School and Stripes, a nod to the cult-movie corner of the late '70s. It's all big, bruising riffs and Lucas's snarl, and it's the Local H album he likes best himself. "California Songs", the track that made the countdowns, and "Hey, Rita" became fixtures of the band's live shows. It followed The No Fun EP, and Alive '05 came next; Australian fans later got both in one package in 2007.
