Ryan Malley Interviews the Deadites About Their 10 Anniversary Show
Monday, October 16 2006
The Deadites Annual Halloween Extravaganza is nothing to miss. And this year on Saturday, October 28th at the Lucky Dog it’s the 10th Annual Deadites Halloween Extravaganza. You best not miss this show. If you though last year was intense, this year will have ten times the spook. They will wreak havoc like never before. With a few returning members and special guests, including the resurrected Round-Trip Jones, (who was in the Deadites at the start of it all) this is going to be a once in a lifetime performance. Fellow Deadites fans, your night of bloodshed, booze, and monsters is back in a fashion never before seen. To miss this show is a sin, but sinners stay aware that on Friday, October 27th at Ralph’s Chadwick Diner, you have another chance. If you cannot catch the Tenth Anniversary Show at The Luck Dog Music Hall on Saturday, the previous night, along with shock-rock surf band Gein & the Grave robbers, they are opening for Theo & the Skyscrapers at Ralph’s Chadwick Diner. This will also be a night of contests (a showdown between the Deadites and Gein to see who is more spooky) and special guests. I’m here at the Deadites Headquarters to talk to them about their Halloween Weekend. Here is the part 1 of the most in depth Deadites interview ever as I sat down with the whole crew:

Dynamo Habeeb: the front man
Tiny wight: the composer/ lead keys
Silica: keys percussion
Vigilantly: percussion
Ethan magloffabits: bass/trumpet
Oracle: back up vocals
Round trip Jones: rhythm keys/hand percussion
Andy Christ: rhythm keys
Jack Ketchum: manger/promoter
Michael Ravenshadow: agent


Ryan Maley: Let’s kick this session off with the most interesting news I have ever heard. Round-Trip Jones, how does it feel to be alive again?

R.T.J: Yes that is interesting news, because to be honest I didn't even know I was dead. Although does someone truly know they are dead, when they are dead? That’s kind of like thinking you are a sexual Frankenstein, when in actuality you are a real sexual wolf man. You know what I mean? And well, I don't know if I can truly say I am alive now either. I, well I feel alive, but somehow I don't. I was able to take quite a bit of abuse from El Muerte Loco when I met him in the squared circle the other night, but I still had no problem tying him up like a pretzel and making him submit. So to answer your question, it feels great to have a victory under my belt and I will be making a strong push to win the title.

TINY: Mr. Jones is a little off since his ummmm return

Dynamo: crazy as shit house Rat!!!!!

ANDY: (in a yoda voice) the forces of crazy and nuts are strong in this one.

Ryan Maley: rumor around the camp fire is you will not be on hand for ether show Andy

JACK: Mr. Christ will be representing THE Deadites at the huge chiller theater convention in New Jersey this weekend, so he will be unable to be at these 2 shows you are very lucky we granted you this interview so I hope you have some better questions then that.

Ryan Maley: Will Round-Trip be fighting the forces of evil alongside the Deadites Secret Twilight Society? That’s a little contradictory isn’t it?

JACK: LISTEN YOU LITTLE BRAT…..

RTJ: ….Of course I will, Albert Finkelstein. You certainly are no genius like that guy. Do you not know who the Deadites are and what they do? Well if you don't, they like to kill the baddies. So I will certainly not be playing cribbage with the lads, or having a stitch and bitch session. We will be delivering poetic punishment with chainsaws, six-shooters, katanas, wrestling prowess, good looks, and charm as our implements of mass reduction. Mass reduction of monsters, that is. I think what is contradictory is your tone. I don't like it. You are not an ugly man, but your voice, it makes my ears bleed! So answer me this, why is your voice is so contradictory to your face?

Ryan Maley: Ethan as a half demon half minister, where do you stand in the resurrection of Round-Trip Jones? Do you think it is unholy to bring back a member of the dead?

Ethan: Well of course I have a bad feeling about this. All I can say if I heard about this before I booked passage I would have stayed close to da Pope. He better stay on his side of the stage. I can't be responsible for my rage...ever.

 Ryan Maley: take me thought the process of putting together this huge weekend

JACK: around July the typical bidding war began between Ralph’s and the dog.
As you can imagine every one wants our services this time year.
Ravenshadow: we realized that instead of trying to play one club against the other there was more money to be had by taking it from both of them.

Ryan Maley: was it challenging putting two bills together?

Jack: no. we had a plan all along. We knew finding another huge band for the first night (the 27th at Ralph’s) would get the weekend off to a huge start…

Ryan Maley: why” Theo and the sky scrapers”

Ravenshadow: it was dynamos idea

Dynamo: I want to do her
Ravenshadow: he also has been trying to fuck the fat girl from Wilson Philips for ten years but you will notice they are not on the bill

Vigilante: he also has a thing for the tall ugly girl in Hanson.

Ethan: I like her too

Oracle: gross

Ravenshadow: dynamos love for women is well documented. But that’s not why we booked T.A.S. We knew they had a big following and would draw very well
Ryan Maley: how did your arch Enemy the grave robbers end up on the bill

TINY: that was the Ralph’s we would never book those filthy ghouls

Silica: they will meet their maker on June 5th 2009

Dynamo: can’t wait

Ryan Maley: were you planning your tenth anniversary show all year long
Jack: to tell you the truth...no.

Oracle: house keeping was going through some of the old promotional stuff and stumbled upon a flyer for the first Halloween extravaganza.

Ravenshadow: that got the ball rolling.

Jack: from there we just put bands on who the lads all liked and the 28th show was complete

Ryan: the difference between booking the 2 clubs
Ravenshadow: At Ralph’s if you put on a good show and promote it people will come.
At the dog you have to be conscious of what every band will draw and what there place should be on the bill. It is more like putting together a wrestling show then a rock show.
Your opening act should draw x amount of fans your seconded band needs to draw that many more.
The bottom line is at Ralph’s its more about putting on a good entertaining show from start to finish at the dog it’s more about who brings what to the table.

Ryan Maley: How have the past nine years of Halloween Ball’s been?
Silica: Halloween doesn't have balls, it's a holiday. Don't be such a dipshit

 Ryan Maley: how did the “Deadites talent search come about?

Tiny: the show on the 28th is all about history. We thought it be nice to have some fresh blood to help rock the stage and fight evil

Ryan Maley: by fresh blood you mean….

Dynamo, vigilantly and silica: whores!!!!!!!!!

Ryan Maley: how has the response been?

Jack: we have had more applications then we can handle .the response has been over whelming
Ryan Maley: do you guys send a Ryder to clubs you guys play ay with any outrageous requests on it

Ravenshadow: I do not think any thing is outrageous on it but yes

Ryan: what’s it look like?

Jack: a small piece of white fax paper with typed words on it.

Ryan Maley: I meant what’s on it

Jack: 18 lbs. Of assorted gummy products
3 gallons of jack Daniels.
2 jugs of sambuca

RM: let’s take a minute to get to know every one better

RM: Silica Do you miss the future?

 Silica: You already asked me that and I answered you, but you will have to way a few years.

 RM: What do you recall happening to The Deadites in a few years?

 Silica: When Dynamo finally takes a bullet from a rogue Chinese zombie, I spend some time with him as a young boy and convince him that he should never trust a Chinese zombie and kill them without hesitation. This created a chain of events that led to Dynamo's Chinese Zombie Torture Jamboree that was a popular hit during the 1930's. During these Jamborees the zombie that would have shot Dynamo in 2017 was killed by Dynamo with a shovel and a bottle of Jack Daniels.

RM: traveling though time you have met a lot of cool folk who is the person who you enjoyed your time with most

 SILICA: Clint Howard, that guy knows how to party.
 
 RM: who is most unlike history portrays them

SILCA: Marilyn Monroe, she actually had a real bad case of halitosis and was terrible in bed

RM: Oracle, you had pretty big shoes to fill when you joined the Deadites. What was it like following someone as popular as the Divine Ms. M - Donna Matrix?
?Oracle: I never really thought about it like I was trying to really "replace" her. ?I mean, really, how could anyone replace the Divine Ms. M? I think most ?fans realize that I am a completely different member than her, and that the ?main thing we have in common is that we both have...female parts. I will ?keep this PG. I never tried to think about being as popular as her, or ?doing anything like her. We have different aesthetics, different looks, ?different voices, and different powers. I knew that all along, and I think that ?most fans accepted that, even though I know they miss the hell out of her.

RM: wear you a fan of miss matrix, and the Deadites in general before you joined the band?
?Oracle: I loved Donna and loved the Deadites. I would go to every show I could. I ?first saw them when I was a young girl heading out to the Espresso Bar. ?Honestly, once I saw them with Donna, I became a much bigger fan. I was recruited into this group that I loved so much. Very excited to learn that I was recruited into this group that I loved so much.
RM: how did the boys treat you when you first joined the band? Was there any internal resentment?
?Oracle: They were nothing but hilarious and helped me out to learn everything I ?needed to. No resentment at all. And they were pretty polite. Not like ?these days. I get full years worth of sexual harassment in the 20 ?minutes backstage before we go on. I not-so-secretly love it though.

RM: Oracle such a little amount of information is known about you compared to?the rest of the Deadites. How do you live up to your codename, the Anti-Diva?

Oracle: The last thing I do is try to steal the spotlight. Vocally, I am a backup ?singer. And outside the stage show I aid in our battles, I do not lead ?them. I think that the less people know about me, the better I am at being ?the "Anti-Diva". I like it that way.

RM: Round Trip – What are your history as a fighter of the undead, and your history with the Deadites?
?RTJ : Ash... a much better question, and that tone you used only made my ears tingle with a very slight, annoying pain. My history has been well documented on film. Perhaps you have seen some of my films? Round Trip Jones vs. The Sexual Frankenstein, Round Trip Jones vs. The Freaky Midget Pirates, Round Trip Jones vs. The Demons from the 1,745th Dimension, Round Trip Jones vs. The Eye Of The Beholder, Round Trip Jones vs. The Wicked Old Mummy Guy, Round Trip Jones vs. The Oozy, Gross Aliens From Planet B, Round Trip Jones vs. The Zombie Roller Derby Dudes. That pretty much sums up my history as a fighter of the undead. Go rent a few. I hear there is this new service where they deliver the movies to your house in the mail, and once you're done you just mail it back to them. Man, how friggin lazy! There is no excuse if you don't watch all my movies. As for my history with the Deadites? I can sum it up in just a few words... Evil, booze, rock stars, wrestling, blood, sexy broads, real sexy broads, and candy. And some more blood and sexy broads for good measure.

RM: Vigilante... as ruler of the Homeland, walk us through your average day.

Vigilante: I wake up whenever the fuck I want and then I tell muh fuggas what to do all day. Then I drink some Ol' Chicken, have relations with the lady, and hit the sack.
?RM: Is the war with Oxford over yet?
?Vigilante: Yes. There will be 2 books out next year remembering the war, titled "The Founders Day Frackas" and "The Battle at N&J Donuts"
?RM: You have had many tough wrestling matches over the years, a lot involving barbed ?wire and tacks and such ... what is the crazy stipulation mach you ever had?
?Vigilante: Everyone remembers the Cream of Wheat and nipple clamp match, right? Man, Cream of Wheat sure is tasty. Would have to be that or the Midget and Jelly Beans match.
?RM: Any memoirs of some of you classic matches against ... the working man
?Vigilante: Shaved that Grizzly Adams looking Muh Fugga.
?RM: kamala

Vigilante: Whole lotta belly slappin going on in that match. Did you guys know that Kalama’s handler Kim Chi was really Frank Stallone?
?RM: dynamo

Vigilante: Ever seen two grown men chop the shit out of each other for 43 minutes? The last 5 minutes of the match looked like that part in the Jefferson's intro where they are having the pillow fight.

DYNAMO: he’s trying to say I kicked his ass

Vigilante: hahah sure sure.
?RM: the great kabuki

Vigilante: Awww.....that match gets me all 'misty' eyed.
?RM: tiny Wight –

Vigilant: Yeah. He won by disqualification because my mother ran into the ring yelling something about Chunky Soup.
?RM: dynamo .If you could wrestle any five people in the world right now, who would it be?

Dynamo: necro butcher…. Colt cabana….. Brian Danielson…Abdula the butcher and Samoa Joe.


RM: What’s going on at the comic store?

Dynamo: don’t know im not there right now.. I’m sure its still there though

RM: Dynamo & Tiny – You two founded this incredible organization – The Deadites Secret Twilight Society. Is this where you expected to be this far down the road? Is there anything you would have liked to change?
Tiny: I think things have gone as plan I witch we had a better detail plan but other then that imp satisfied.
 
Dynamo: more booz

RM: What direction do you see The Deadites heading in the near future?

Dynamo: I will be hammered by noon if that what you mean

Rm: since you are a monster hunting organization, how do you kill the following: Werewolf, Hell spawn, Class 5 (“send more cop”) zombie

Tiny: fast… before they kill you.

RM: Does garlic weaken a Vampire?

Jack Ketchum: not an Italian one

RM: Are there any recommended sources to learn about hunting the forces of darkness?

Oracle: Tobins spirit guide. the field guide to north American monsters,, there are a lot of good one, most can be found at you local library

Dynamo: yea read you ill bastards

RM: What is it like to be compared to other artists, when The Deadites are really not alike any other band?

Oracle: Honestly, no one has ever tried to talk to me about how the band is like any ?other band. Usually they are too busy staring at my chest. If anyone ever ?tried to talk to me about that, I would just tell them that they weren't ?paying very good attention. And then possibly punch them out for not ?staring at my chest.

Silica: every one sounds like the Deadites in the future. Even the national anthem is remixed

RTJ: no more boom box questions Phil less diller says so!!!!!!!!

RM: Give me a just few words on the following….Hostel

Ethan: Gratuitous sex. Too many attractive nipples. Needed more of the following: BLOOD, GUTS, REVENGE, FURY and THE LORD,

RM: Dawn of the Dead 2003

Tiny: one of the best monster fighting tutorials in years.. Very good

RM: Rob Zombie

Dynamo: real cool dood.. I like his flicks
Andy: (Like ozzy) he is a good friend of mine. Real fucking nice bloke fucking great

Rm: Saw 2

Ethan: NEEDLES! NEEDLES! NEEDLES!!! Definitely better than Saw I "Men in Tights" I wanted him to lop that extremity off at "Hello"

RM: The Decent

Dynamo: fucking perfect.. Amazing

Tiny: I haven’t seen it yet but Neil marshals first flick “dog solders” rank right next to dawn of the dead as one of the great modern monster fighting tutorials

RM: Quentin Tarantino

Tiny: still owes me a lot of cash for the fight chorography and stunt I did for his little flick he did a few years back. I did 12 days of sword work for him and he has yet to give me a dime

RM: you worked on kill bill?

Tiny: no Jackie brown

 RM: ugggg.. Tell me 4 great Halloween cd's

Ethan: What's a fucking CD.? Who are you again?

Andy: (sound like Vincent price) all cds are Halloween cds when you play them back wards

Dynamo: king diamond Abigail is awesome
RM: Let’s get back to the shows... Ethan – On Saturday, are you going back to playing the bass guitar, or are you going to be using your mean mother-fucking brass horn of God?

Ethan: Whether you know this or not, I play bass and horn at every show. I'm so fucking loud and pissed off that even if I'm not there, I'm playing from the porch of my shanty, six hundred and sixty seven steps away from the Vatican.
I am making a special trip for this show and I'm checking my bass at the airport.
I'll be doing both

RM: Ethan does god love the Deadites

Ethan: God gets me in the commuter lane on the highway so we have a lot of conversations in the car. He’s never even mentioned the Deadites...cockblocker

RM: To wrap things up being the 10th year of All Hallows Eve what is going to be done to give the fans a 10th year that will never be forgotten?

Dynamo: (standing on his chair) it will be the best weekend you have ever seen all the bands rock this roll so hard. Scott from huck on sat will be there.. John kervin will be there both nights….live sex act.. Gein and the grave robbers… and the best part on Saturday….

… (At that a woman in a cape and cloak enters the room. as soon as she does all eyes are one her but I can not make out her face she speak threw a velvety English accent)

Mystery woman: it’s time to go boys.

RM: And they do with out a word they are gone... They just get up and go …..
Any fan who was thinking of missing ether of these nights is insane. If the energy in the room for this interview was any indication Worcester will never be the same again

Hunting Tips

I'm friggin' pissed! 

 

Someone ate my last half gallon of vanilla bean ice cream that I had in the sub-zero walk-in freezer. It was clearly labeled "TINY WIGHT's VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM, ASSHOLE. NO TOUCHY." 

 

I just got back from the grocery store with all these sundae fixin's and now I'm standing here with MUD on my face. Whoever took that ice cream, I swear to you "I will punch your fucking lights out".
