BUTCHER BABIES Vocalist CARLA HARVEY - "Being Bi-Racial Is A Very Special Thing"

In the clip below, Gene Gaona of Capital Chaos TV talks with Butcher Babies vocalist Carla Harvey on getting into metal, growing up in Detroit, being bi-racial and more on their San Jose, California stop of their recent tour with Metal Church, Suicidal Tendencies, Amon Amarth and Megadeth

In a recent interview with WRIF's Meltdown, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine revealed what made him decide to bring the Butcher Babies out on the road, saying it began with an interview conducted by vocalist Carla Harvey:

"I had no idea who she was. Besides being intimidatingly attractive, she was very, very professional. I don't want to say anything disrespectful because I don't know her, but I thought she was a television personality, and then when I found out after the fact, I was, 'Wow! That's interesting.' When I did a little research on them and I saw them with the nipple tape, it was, like, 'Oh my God! I'm gonna hear it from my daughter.' I'm glad they stopped that, but it was funny because she had said that they stopped doing it because it hurt. And I was thinking, 'Yeah, I can imagine. If I was putting electrical tape on my balls every day, it probably would hurt too.'"

Speaking about their enthusiasm for the upcoming tour, Butcher Babies vocalist Heidi Shepherd states, "We're incredibly honoured to join forces with some of our idols, legendary musicians and bands! Megadeth is a staple in metal music and we can't think of a better way to round out our 2016 touring schedule than with these metal gods. Who didn't grow up with a Megadeth poster glued to your wall with dreams of dreams of sharing the stage with them. Bucket list... Check!"
