What is a live performance like?
|
|
I live to be on stage. The rush that comes from performing in front of a crowd
of people that are there to listen to you is empowering and a massive
confidence booster! Sometimes the preshow anxiety can be so overwhelming, but
once that first chord is hit it all falls the way side and you fall into the
moment. That moment, is what it's all about to me.

What does the band have planned in the coming months?
|
|
We are currently recording a remake of the Steppenwolf classic "Magic
Carpet Ride" for the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas. It's the largest
video screen in the world where 20 million people a year visit! Last year we did
a version of "Born To Be Wild" and since it was such a success they have asked
us to add to it! It should debut sometime in the spring!

|
What is your latest album and why should people buy it?
|
|
The Culture Killer EP is available through iTunes I believe. It's currently on
Delvue Records where I think you might be able to purchase it at delvuerecords.com. People
should buy it cause it's damn good! Great tunes! Great energy!

Can you share with us one or two of your favorite moments with the band?
|
|
Standing on stage in Las Vegas on Fremont Street looking up to the big screen
for the debut of "Born To Be Wild" knowing that over the next 3 years the show
is up there... up to 60 million people might be looking at my big head up on
that screen!

Getting asked if the new movie Tekken could use "Let Me Drive" for use
in the movie, though I'm not sure if it is in it though...

Tell us about your local music scene?
|
|
Los Angeles, unfortunately, has become such a cesspool of bad bands and money
hungry clubs that there is very little support towards local bands. It's all
become very back stabbing and bitter. Pay-to-play seems to still cripple the
scene. A good friend of mine and Culture Killers, Dayle Gloria, has been around
since Jane's Addiction was her house band at a club she ran back in the day. She
loves music and she loves finding the newest and coolest bands. She does a
night (Wednesday) at The Dragonfly in Hollywood with amazing local bands. She is
a huge supporter. If you're in LA make sure you check out her night.

Do you have any last comments or words of advice for our readers?
|
|
Keep to your guns and do what you do because you love doing what you do. It's
not rocket science but it does take a little effort and knowledge of the "music
business" to make it happen. Support your local music. Go out to shows buy their
stuff at shows or on line. Tell the world about the bands you like. They'll
appreciate it.
