Great interview. Wish I was in town for the shows tonight and tomorrow! Rachel on the Viper...that would be awesome!
re viola di gamba:
i recall a New Yorker cartoon that went something like this:
(guy calling a friend)-- "Hi, how are u ? I just saw an article about 'viola di gamba' and I immediately thought about u."
haha
Your guest is awesome! Any fan of European melodic metal knows there's a close connection to classical music.
...as does the song, actually.
Nothing wrong with that. I guess you don't want to call yourself a "desert stoner rock" band in NYC tho
:P
That singer sounds very much eerily like Josh Homme (QOTSA)
Love Rachel's music. Can't wait for the interview!
