Who are the band's musical influences?
|
  |
I would definitely say Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple to Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and STP.
|
  |
So much depth. I feel kind of got a little lost in the 80s and now. I wrote this CD to be exactly
that. I wanted to show my own style and share my experiences with people at the same time. I think
it has just enough of a modern feel as well, but I wrote it to sound like the bands I loved. bands
that had some longevity because they had something to say and wrote with their soul.

It's funny how many young kids I see walking around today with their Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and
Zeppelin shirts on. Even they get it. You can only force feed music for so long. One of our songs
"Industry Witch" is about that very thing.

What is your musical background like?
|
  |
Those bands I just mentioned. I love old Crosby, Stills and Nash and stuff like that as well.
Though it may not be the genre in which I write, the harmonies and songwriting are awesome.
Queen (genius), White Zombie (love the groove), I'm all over the place.

Any other members in your family that are musicians?
|
  |
My dad was a singer and my brother used to play in a rock band. He works for the IRS now...
everybody RUN! I don't even accept his calls.
|
  |
What is the top reason why you want to play music?
|
  |
To share my story with the world. I have tried so many times to walk away. It's in me. Won't
effing leave. So I embraced it.
|
  |
What has been your best show?
|
  |
My best show was the Vegas Rocks Awards at the Hilton in Las Vegas. Dee Snyder, Lita Ford,
Glen Hughes, Lemme, Flavor Flave. Two thousand people. We opened with "Blow and Smoke"; rocked hard.
Great night, good people.
