5. As a PR agent I am going to tell you forthright, It is expensive to make it in the music industry and it is unfair because a lot of great talent gets left behind. How far are you willing to go? How much are you willing to lose to climb this mountain?We understand that you need to spend money to make money and we will keep on spending money until we make it.We are prepared to lose valuable hours spent
6.At one time you could believe that your music was enough , Your live show was enough. Now that you know the reality of the music business what would YOU change to make it more fair to the artist?We would make our live shows a bit more animated and have a more impressive backdrop.
7.Youve spent tons of money on gear , spent thousands of hours rehearsing and putting everything into your dream. What level of success will you consider “ making it”?
When we can make a decent living off music alone.
8. Have you been on the road? Would you like to tour? And with who?
We would like to tour with All Them Witches.As a band we haven;t toured yet but in previous bands there has been plenty of touring.
9.You get 5 members build your dream band and go.
Robert Plant
Jimi Hendrix
James Jamerson
John Bonham
10.Who would you not throw under the bus for fame?
Anyone
11.Do you know about the business side of music? Do you think the business side or the entertainment side is more important?Ultimately once you have the product the business side tends to dominate.
12.What is it about your live show that will make a person remember you?The psychedelic music and lyrics.
13.Your girlfriend , Your family , Your friends are all going to lie to you and tell you that you are awesome, its just how the game works. So who do you trust to tell you the truth?
People who acually watch the show-family I find tends to have a limited knowledge of the requirements for success in our style
14.What constitutes kicking a member out of a band?
Dislike of our music-eventually losing interest.Some kind of criminal activity or bringing too much shame to the band's name.
15.How do you feel about political beliefs inside the band?What if one of your members wanted to wear a pro trump shirt live?Would advise against flying political flags-its just not rock n roll
16. There are a number of bands and artist out there who are gay or lgbt,
Would you support one of your members changing gender?Absolutely
17.Many people consider metal music and metal fans to be racist
Share your opinions, including would you allow racism in your band if the member was talented enough?No racism allowed for any reason-I believe there is a bit of racism in some black metal outfits but that could be a rumour.It is a genre dominated by white folks but black people are joining the cause(need more though)
18.I am pushing boundres for a reason, rock n roll is rebellion sex and drugs but things have changed will you stay true to yourself even if it means leaving the band and giving up your dreams?Stay true to yourself-easily done.I think if you confront issues and speak truth you are rock n roll
19.Lets lighten up, If you could get on stage with any band who would it be?
At the moment I'm really into All Them Witches-but Metallica,reformed Zeppelin,Alter Bridge,Creed,Springbok Nude Girls,Prime Circle-lots of local South African bands.
20.I want you to say something you know will be controversial that you are willing to stand up for.
America has been at war most of the time-is it really necessary?
