Shadow Project Interview
Rozz Williams on stage with Shadow Project at the old Helter Skelter on Sunset EVA: No, but seriously..we're not even that band. We have nothing to do with it. Why don't they come up and ask us if we're The Superheroines? There's more Superheroines than Christian Death. There's one from Christian Death and two from The Superheroines. If anything, people should think we're the Superheroines.
HIP: So a lot of people really expect Christian Death when they go see you?
EVA: They do! It's changing now though.
TOM: The people are starting to realize.
EVA: I'll call them all in, one at a time. I'll meet them in the parking lot. (laughter)
JILL: That's her performance art.
HIP: Are you all L.A. natives?
EVA: These guys are, but I'm from Las Vegas, Nevada.
ROZZ: I'm from Pomona and Jill's from Diamond Bar.
TOM: I'm from the valley. No, I guess I'm from Huntington Beach,.....I'm confused.
HIP: How long do you expect Shadow Project to last?
ROZZ: 'Till about tomorrow or the next day. (laughter)
JILL: It's deteriorating before your eyes.
EVA: This band is going to last a long time because it's a perfect combination. It's like a perfect blend of coffee, good to the last drop.
HIP: What do you think about the current music scene?
EVA: What scene? I don't see one, I want to know where it is. I don't see a scene. I wish there was one. It seems very empty out there.
TOM: Let's just say I'm glad Helter Skelter is not using Club Lingerie's format, or any of the (Sunset) Strip formats, they're not happening.
EVA: Hey, I love Club Lingerie.
JILL: Yeah, they have some good bands once in a while.
ROZZ: Anything that's pay-to-play is fucked,....and there is no scene in Hollywood.
EVA: No scene in paradise.
Jill Emery was with Courtney Love in the early line-up of Hole before finally joining Shadow Project. TOM: Ten years ago I could get into The Whiskey(A Go-Go) with like five dollars. The Starwood, The China Club, The Hong Kong, any of those places you got in for five dollars and now it's ten dollars, the bottom price. And the reason why they're doing that is because no one goes out to clubs anymore, they stay home and watch MTV. Ten years ago you play a place and really have a good show and lots of people who are really into what you're doing without having a record or a video. Now you have to have a record and/or a video.
HIP: How would you describe your music?
ROZZ: It's very much like the theme from Starsky and Hutch.
EVA: Heavy hardcore aggressive music, because we are very angry people.
JILL: Exactly, it's very aggressive, which people don't expect. Anger is just another form of saying something.
EVA: Anger is another form of love.
JILL: People are going to call us a death-rock band obviously, because of the past but it's more than that, because it is aggressive a lot of death-rock people don't want to get their make-up or hair messed up or whatever.
ROZZ: We're life-rock not death-rock, but people don't understand that death just plays an important role in life. It's stupid, I'm fucking living my life and that's what all of us are doing,...and we are all going to die someday you know, but it's not important to group yourself into "oh, we're death-rock" or this and that. Everybody's alive who is alive and everyone who's dead is dead right now. We're all going to die someday too. Of course we are going to talk about death in our lyrics and we're going to write about life in our lyrics too but it's just important that people dwell on one or the other not too much.
EVA: I dwell on death too much.
ROZZ: And sometimes I have to slap her around a little to get her out of it.
EVA: I enjoy it.
