Define your genre in five words or less:
Pure industrial rockin’ chaos!
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Hmmm, some will say Rob Zombie, Manson, Murderdolls. But most say we rock and are a huge breath of fresh air.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Something truly exciting and unseen in Australia. And a show that pumps just as hard as the music. We’re very hard to ignore.
When’s the gig and with who?
Saturday October 27 at The Espy supporting Wednesday 13.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
A lot. But the age old formula of working hard still applies, through making every gig count, promoting every show and the band as a whole, and not be complacent by any means. It’s a do or die industry, and the train waits for no one.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
Reboot: Repeat is available through storertd.com orr your nearest JB Hi-Fi. It’s on iTunes also, or us direct at darkc3ll.com.
When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?
Our tour with Wednesday 13 kicks off in Brisbane on the October 25, then Sydney on Friday, wrapping up in Melbourne on the Saturday October 27. All three shows are just about sold out now. We then go back to the studio to continue making our second album (set for early 2013 release) and working on a remix for Chris Vrenna’s (NIN, M.Manson) Tweaker. Recently finished a remix for Scum Of The Earth (ex Rob Zombie guitarist Riggs).
What’s the strangest place you’ve ever played a gig, or made a recording?
Gig? Dv8 in Melbourne, and I say so in a good way, because it’s a venue in three levels. We played top floor, and the stairwell going down was a giant metallic alien with lit up eyes. So cool! Then the second floor had an anime dance party with girls in cats tails and cat ears and lots of PVC rockin’ the dance floor with Japanese anime music. Wow! The ground floor was a cool alternative rock club. Overall, it was awesome! Recording? It’s a tossup between recording vocals for our song Machin3 in a bedroom cupboard (for real) or recording vocals for a song working with Govinda (Angus & Julia Stone producer )in a stone water tank with candles inside the stones. It was like a dungeon!
Tell us about the last song you wrote.
Writing new album right now, and I’ll say Six Hundred & Sixty Six, as it’s the new song in our set, and it’s catchy as all hell. The title is self explanatory, and I think many will relate to it through its straight forward middle finger approach to self righteousness and moral idiocy.
Anything else to add?
Listen to DARKC3LL…..loud! You’ll thank us for it.
