Who are your musical heroes, influences & why?

SHON ‘ type o negative, mr bungle,David bowie,Alice cooper, they were more than just singers or bands they cared about the show you visually remembered there shows these guys were entertainers not just musicians ‘

MIKE ‘ DIO, KISS ; VAN HALEN,  good time music show were re-memorable the power of Dio”s voice was captivating

KEITH Old Metallica, Buckethead, Gwar, Dethklok, all great guitarists with awesome stage shows.

 

 Do you have any advice for someone just getting started in playing music? Any pitfalls they should avoid?

SHON ‘ find a group of people who let you do what you want and can do. Be happy on stage and the crowd follows”

MIKE ‘ be open minded to others you never know what will come out of it

 

Do you have a greatest gig story you’d like to share?

MIKE the last show was great everyone was really into our music and our show for the first time we added all the elements together and had some acknowledgement that everything we’ve put out was worth it

 

On the same token as the above question. How about a “worse gig” ever story.

none we can think of

Do you have any other hobbies other than playing music? Collect stamps? Collect hats from off the side of the road? Draw pictures of boobs?

SHON ‘well going with our FREAKSHOW ACTS we all have many things we do including what we do on stage. i like to make antique replicas’

MIKE ‘jiggalo for the senior citizens

KEITH I eat fire and hit people with sticks

 

What do you think about the present music scene or lack of? Care to address that?

SHON ‘there are a lot of great bands in this local scene its just hard to get the crowds out nowadays with the economy and the smoking bans has made it real hard also but we are all out there still trying to make it.’

 

Tell us something about each of your band members that we wouldn’t expect to hear… Like their hobbies or something like that…

SHON ‘loves going to orchestra concerts.’

MIKE ‘ likes writing comedy scits

KEITH Shon has more whips than a person should have…

 

Hypothetical situation. You’re stranded on Gilligan’s island and you get to hook up with only one of the girls… Is it Ginger, Mary Ann or Mrs. Howell and why?

SHON ‘mary ann love her hometown girl look grr’

MIKE’ mary ann she looks like a giver

KEITH

 

 Our last question  is called “Shout It Out Loud”. It’s were you get to talk about whatever you want to talk about. So go ahead and “SHOUT IT OUT LOUD”!

Trouble in the Van Halen Camp again?

google.com, pub-2427795083793513, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0

These guys just postponed 30 dates on their current tour. Rumor is there is “in fighting”. Here is the latest from http://ultimateclassicrock.com/van-halen-fighting-rumors/

With no official word from the Van Halen camp about the reasons behind yesterday’s sudden postponement of over 30 dates on their summer 2012 tour schedule, speculation has set in, some of it focused on the reportedly testy relationship between David Lee Roth and his band mates.

Van Halen added 18 more dates and still no Evansville…

Van Halen recently added 18 more shows to their current tour. Once again they will be all over this area and Van Halen will be coming to Ft. Wayne Indiana to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum that was built in 1952… What gives? I am going to have to give up on the Evansville Ford center. I think Ford stands for “Fluff only, Rock’s Denied”. If anyone can think of a better acronym, send it to me at chuck@kickacts.com. The Evansville concert season is really sucking…Van Halen is one of the biggest shows this year to see. They should have named the Ford center the “Desert” since it lacks entertainment.
