DIRTY LITTLE RABBITS, Featuring SLIPKNOT's Shawn "Clown" Crahan, Inks Deal With The End
October 16, 2008, 15 years ago
MTV's Headbangers Blog announced yesterday the signing of Johnston, Iowa's DIRTY LITTLE RABBITS to The End Records.
The band features SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan behind the kit, along with Stella Soleil (vocals), Ty Fyhrie (guitars), Jeff Karnowski (bass), and Michael Pfaff (organs, keyboards).
Shawn Crahan explains to Headbangers Blog:
"Dirty Little Rabbits is my new Slipknot. I’m playin’ drums, and I’m a songwriter and this is the band I’ve been waiting to be in my whole life. And it’s more of an alternative band than a metal band. It’s everything I’ve ever been into. And it’s a thought process, it’s a mindset. And this will be the band I end my life with."A lot of people don’t know I’m more or less an alternative person in art and music. I didn’t grow up obsessed with metal. But that’s most of the beauty behind Skipknot. You’ve got guys that are completely dedicated to the metal, and then you’ve got guys who never even listen to it, like me. And you come together and make this thing called Slipknot that happens to be a metal band, and that’s awesome because I always believed when I got together with my brothers that they were writing music that I never heard or felt and that’s why I went with it.
"And I brought the art to this music, and throughout time I developed all my musical skills and – boom — here I am with Dirty Little Rabbits and it’s finally everything I’ve ever wanted in a band."
