Channel Zero: Franky De Smet-Van Damme
Hi Franky, thanks so much for answering some questions for me. Channel Zero split in 1997 and came back together in 2010 stronger than ever. You started off with one show that turned into six sold out shows. How did it feel having such a warm reception from fans after all those years on hiatus? Was that what inspired you to come back and make a new album? Franky/CZ: There was all of a sudden a Facebook group made with 8000 members on it in about three weeks and as if time did its thing our manager who played an important role in the start-up talked to me it at about the same time. He was also out of the many proposals I got, the only one who really knew what had to be done and until now its proven that we needed someone who makes this new trip on steady rails. So the fans did their thing and we finally got the vibe back. It seemed like perfect timing. You have released a new album titled Feed Em With A Brick via Roadrunner Records. There are three singles off the album so far. The first one is titled "Hot...

I already had tickets for this show as RQ has major love for Devin. I was psyched to see DTP as the last incarnation of Devin Townsend I saw was Strapping Young Lad in 2005. SYL were amazing and pretty much anything involving Devin's brain + music = mind blowing! We were super lucky to score an interview for our column Side Stage in Shockwave Magazine. Devin met with us before the show at Baltimore Soundstage. Unassuming, down to earth, smart, funny and just an all-around nice bloke, he talked with us for about 20 minutes before getting told it was time to do his meet and greet. No trace of rock star attitude, easy going, straight up yet somewhat tortured, hey, it makes for great writing right? His music is his life journal and he explained to us that he writes in the moment, where he is in life, what he's doing and how he's feeling. Long gone is the crazy long hair of Strapping, wouldn't even think I was sitting talking to the same person. For our first interview the bar has been set to its highest point, Devin was just so fucking cool and easy to...

Fuckin' 2 and Half Hour Wait! Rockstars!! The ripe smell of vomit filled the club room at Sonar as a crowd eagerly awaited Electric 6 to take the stage. Unbeknownst to the crowd was the fact that they'd be waiting two and half hours before the boys from Detroit would take the stage. The opening act, listed as Kitten, had bailed on the tour. Rather than starting the show early it was decided to postpone the start time until 10:30. After an incredibly long wait the band finally took the stage. It seemed as if it took them several songs to warm up and there stage presence to arrive. However, once the band hit 5th gear they provided a high octane show playing several songs off the new album as well as crowd favorite, Gay Bar. Dick Valentine has a unique on stage persona. His dry sense of humor translated well with the music and worked the crowd into a frenzy. The entire band was in perfect sync and the sound quality was mixed superbly. Electric 6 were worth the wait.
