WEDNESDAY 13 Talks About Split With ROADRUNNER, New CD

September 20, 2006

Chad Bowar of HeavyMetal.About.com recently conducted an interview with former MURDERDOLLS frontman Wednesday 13. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

HeavyMetal.About.com: For your new CD, "Fang Bang", I understand you had a bunch of songs written and then just scrapped them and started over.

Wednesday 13: I write a lot of music. I'm not the type of guy that spends a week on one song. I write a couple songs a day and take the simple route. It's quick and easy and usually turns out to be the best stuff. The first month I wrote 30 songs and they weren't bad, they were just going in a direction I didn't want to go. So I scrapped it all and started over.

HeavyMetal.About.com: How come you switched to Rykodisc to release this CD?

Wednesday 13: Originally "Transylvania 90210" was going to come out on Rykodisc, but I was still legally signed to Roadrunner with MURDERDOLLS. I told them I wanted to do a solo record and they said they weren't going to put it out. So Rykodisc wanted to do it. I then went back to Roadrunner and told them, and they said no, you're still signed with us and we're going to put it out. Last year after the record came out and it was time to renew the contract I guess they weren't happy with how it did in America. They just put it out and didn't do anything with it. They cut me loose and I went back to Rykodisc and they were still interested, and here we are.

HeavyMetal.About.com: You've put together a whole new touring band for this album. Who is backing you now?

Wednesday 13: Eric Griffin was the bassist in the MURDERDOLLS, but he's playing guitar now. He's a really good guitar player and it's kind of stupid he wasn't a guitar player in the MURDERDOLLS because he's so good. Our bass player is Nate Manor, who played in AMEN for a while. Our drummer Racci Shay plays with the GENITORTURERS and played with DOPE for a few years. We're a four-piece and so far doing a great job.
