An Interview with Mickey Finn of
KCM: How did this whole concept come about? Mickey: When Danny and I hooked up to start a band we definitely knew that we wanted to have rockabilly in there and our roots go back to the roots of Rock’n’Roll and Blues, country, metal, punk rock so when you combine all those elements….I guess you can call us Psychobilly but it’s really more than that. The way we like to say it is that we combined our three favorite things which are Rock’n’Roll, horror movies and punk rock. We love theatrics as well so when we have the budget to do so and at our shows in L.A. we have zombie go-go dancers and a coffin on stage and we rip the guts out of girls and stuff like that. So that’s really where we would like to take it if we ever get the budget to do that on tour. KCM:
You guys are signed to a label right?
Mickey: Yeah the label is called “Horror High” and it’s actually the same label that Wednesday 13 puts his stuff out through . KCM: How would you say the tour has gone so far, where would you say you’ve gotten the biggest response from people? Mickey: The whole tour has been great and we’ve never really gotten a negative response even though we kind of took a big risk to do this tour. We were pretty sure that Wednesday’s audience would take to us well. We spent the last two and a half years playing mostly Psychobilly and Rockabilly shows and car shows and Viva Las Vegas
and those kinds of things so we knew that to expand our audience we needed to get on bills with different bands. Some of the biggest shows, New York was great and last night in San Antonio was great because we got a big response. This was our second time through the east coast, the last time we came through with a band called the Rockets so we did play to a lot of the same territory although like I said it was a different audience.
