May 11, 2009, 15 years ago
RockEyez.com has issued an interview with vocalist Stacey Quinealty of Los Angeles’ CARBON 9. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Brian Rademacher:
Q: When Carbon 9 started did you send out press packages to record companies and things like that?
A: "We put the band together and before we did anything we wrote and recorded the album before we ever played a show. I wanted to have product in my hand before we even played a show. So we recorded our Systematic record, which kinda was a demo for us because we didn’t know the band was going to take off so well. Then we got out and played four nights out of a week, we were whoring ourselves out everywhere. Then we connected with Warren Wyatt the owner of World Sound Music. We were selling out venues and it got so exciting. We were going to dinner with all the big guys like RCA, MCA Lava, Universal and Geffen and it was crazy. Everyone was scared to take a chance and sign us. So it all trickled down and by this time it was a couple years with a lineup change and it was time to record a new record which was 2004 Cotm produced by Duane Baron and now we are on our third album on World Sound called The Bull and great things have been happening."
Q: On The Bull you did a rendition of 'Mother' by DANZIG. Have you heard anything from Glenn?
A: "No not yet but I am curious to hear his take on our version. We really wanted a song which we could tailor into our own song. But we wanted to stay true to the original. I hope he didn’t think we butchered his song."
