BannedPromotions.com has posted a new interview they recently conducted with PRONG frontman Tommy Victor. An excerpt follows:
BannedPromotions.com: Tommy! Thanks for the interview. What are you up to these days?
Tommy Victor: "I'm working on songs for the next Prong album along with Monte Pittman and Aaron Rossi. Monte has to go back out with MADONNA again, so i'm on the bass player hunt again. I also helped a bit recently to put together a remix record for our last release Power Of The Damager called Power Of the Damn Mixer for 13th Planet Records. Since MINISTRY is over, I started playing with GLENN DANZIG again as well. We have a couple of shows coming up. I'm going to start getting geared for that as well."
BannedPromotions.com: So, you were a soundman at the infamous CBGB back in the day. What was that like, and who were some of your favourite bands that performed there?
Tommy: "It was a lot of work. Six bands a night, crap rice and bean meals from the filthy deli across the street - and too much booze and amphetamines. I lived off the Bowery, walked to work and dealt with the rats and homeless. But that inspired me to get my band together and hit the road. There were a lot of great acts of course. I'm trying to think of who was the best band I saw there. It's a tough choice. I really truly can't say."
BannedPromotions.com: So you've been going strong for two decades now. What do you attribute your longevity?
Tommy: "Lots of booze and amphetamines."
