INTERVIEW (this is the full interview that the previous article was taken from) |
I
could use some background information. Could you give a brief history
of Damien Youth, including releases? |
Growing
up in small town America's "Bible Belt" by a strict religious
mother and a sinner man father who was obsessed with death, started
me on my path of writing songs that pointed out cosmic paradox and also
simple escapist pop/folk songs. I learned how to perform by the greatest
performers on earth , SOUTHERN PREACHERS! I was also being brought up
to be just that! A preacher! Then at the age of 15 I met Ray Davies
after my first concert (the KINKS) And I knew then!
I want to be a pop star! |
| I used to be part of that late '80s early '90s cassette release community so my releases from that time are too many to mention. As far as official releases: BRIDE OF THE ASYLUM on Blackberry-98 / SUNFIELD on ZYGOTE/Blackberry- 99/ SONGS FROM BLACK TOWER(recordings from 94)-on ZYGOTE/Blackberry |
