This week on SuicideGirls Radio our very special in-studio guest will be Greg Puciato, frontman of punk rock metal band The Dillinger Escape Plan. The ultimate fan turned pro, Puciato originally joined the group after they went public with a talent search following the departure of singer Dimitri Minakakis. Puciato sent in a CD-R, and after an in-person audition joined the group. He first performed with them in New York during CMJ in 2001. Six years later, in a Revolver Magazine poll, he was voted one of the “37 greatest metal frontmen” of all time.
She’s been featured in Rolling Stone. She’s a featured guest star in the seventh season of the hit HBO series “Entourage.” She was the lead actress in the film “The Girlfriend Experience” directed by Academy Award winning director Steven Soderbergh.
To hear those accolades just about any Hollywood actress would take those jobs, and that level of career success. Those credits aren’t for just any actress in Hollywood, they are about porn star turned mainstream success story Sasha Grey.
There is an island, high above the reef. The corals glisten, radiant in the opulence of iridescent sunlight. The waves crash softly, against the rocks, lulling you into a mesmerising trance. Looking down at the boats, cruising gently towards the land line, three beautiful women await the arrival of the sailors to shore. Soft supple skin, long flowing hair, luminous eyes, these heavenly creatures sing a sweet sultry song to call the mariners to their untimely demise.
If you had told me in the early 2000s — when I was still in high school and saving my summer job money to buy new CDs — that indie bands would one day pay fans to listen to their music, I would have thought you were crazy. Bands make music, and we spend our hard-earned scratch to listen to it, not the other way around … right?
Well, it’s 2010, and artists are so desperate to squeeze their product through the ear buds of trendy scene influencers that they’re actually paying the cool kids to check out their new tracks. A UK pop duo called The Reclusive Barclay Brothers has put their first single “We Could Be Lonely Together” on iTunes, and downloading it enters you to win £27. That’s like 40 bucks (or two and a half CDs, if you’re a high school-er in the year 2000).
Eyes Set to Kill:
Are Eyes Set to Kill sisters, Alexia and Anissa Rodriguez still the two hottest girls in metal? That’s what the media was saying about them last year. BlankTV had a fun little chat with them and the rest of the group about being banned from Finland and their plans after Warped Tour.
