AND… I finished up a new song this week. Which I have titled “BSSMF” (BackStabbing Sick MotherFucker). Things were a little chilly in the basement, so I brought the speakers, keyboard and recording gear up to the living room, where it’s nice and warm I have a few more songs I’ll be working on as well so hope you are hungry for more!
I’ll keep you updated, thanks for all the support!!
]]>A: Well, when this project was first starting I had been tossing around a few names. Then my wife said “how about Streak?”, which was originally a name for a TMC song that I had written. And it just seemed to fit. Wow, I should definitely come up with a more exciting answer for that… haha. Have you ever shopped for underwear at a used clothing store?
A: I’ve always written stuff on my own. But I suppose the official start was in 2004. I had just parted ways with a previous band, and was looking to do something more of my own. The “one man” band was mostly because it seemed almost impossible to find like minded and dedicated musicians. I had a few guests on a few shows, but mostly it was just me on stage.
A: And it’s awesome! Paul, who is the creative force behind Uncle Big Time, came to me asking if I wanted a live drummer. At first I was hesitant, only because things haven’t worked out so great in the past trying to find members. But I can honestly say, it was one of the best things to happen to STREAK and I’m not looking back!
A: Haha, no not yet. Care to be the 1st?
A: Rock with an Industrial feel I suppose. Or something like the Beach Boys tripping out on acid running around in their underwear singing “I get Around”.
A: Everything tends to be an influence in one way or another, all aspects of music & life (both good & bad…). Music wise, some of my favorites that come to mind that really got me wanting to do this type of music are NIN, Drown, Ministry, 16volt, Pigface… I could go on and on there have been so many musical artists in so many genres that I have listened to and have been an influence.
A: That’s a tough one, but I guess I would say “Break Away”. It’s pretty fun to sing and play. It tends to get peoples attention.
A: It’s been going great! In the past all the STREAK stuff I had recorded on my own. So this is the 1st studio experience for Streak. And this is the first time with a real drummer. I had asked Paul to play because I really thought it would make the whole CD sound better, more real and I wanted that “human” feel. Plus it’s been a whole lot more fun!!
A: hopefully soon! We will have it out a little later this year. being completely independent, funds (or lack of) can make it a little slower of a process. but we are very close, and very excited!
A: they will be available at all of our shows, as well as on our website. And we have a few other online avenues that we are going to pursue as well.
A: Maybe someday
A: Haha, well yes, it’s true! I’ve always thought the movies were great and fun. Especially with Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness there are so many great jokes and puns. As for favorite horror movie I have trouble picking just one. But I guess my top picks would consist of Dawn of the Dead, Saw, Event Horizon, and of course the Evil Dead Trilogy.
A: As a “one man” band, I realized that I needed something else going on on stage to create more of a show. So I sat for hours and put together all sorts of photos and video stuff. It started with one TV, and it’s slowly growing. It’s sort of become part of Streak, with a TV logo on shirts and stickers.
A: That is something that I would really like to do. At this point though we are keeping things pretty local. But who knows what the future may hold!
A: I’m really 10 feet tall
