On April 2, 2004 at the Lucky Dog Music Hall D will headline a show to celebrate front man Dynamo Habeeb's 258th birthday. JV from WORC 1310 AM's Worcester Rocks sat down with the birthday boy and Deadites co-founder Tiny Wight to discuss the show, the most evil man in Worcester , good horror flicks and every thing in-between. Fasten your safety belts.

JV: the Deadites are supposedly horror movie aficionados. What do you like that has come out in the last few years, and what releases of this horror resurgence do you think is worth a look?

 
DYNAMO: "Cabin Fever." That's hands down the best horror flick I've seen in years. But if you want a good evil bashing tutorial go see "Kill Bill." That movie is like the best how to kill flick ever.

 
TINY: We just saw the new "Dawn of the Dead." Now that's a how to zombies get it with chain saws, trucks, swords, fire...

 
DYNAMO: Let's not forget the ol' shot gun to the squash.

 
TINY: and oddly enough, it's closer to real life.

 
JV: So you're saying zombies aren't slow like in the movies. They can run

 
TINY: It's in-between. Unless you are real messed up when you kick off you won't lumber like that. But you won't see a zombie sprint. Mostly they have awful coordination.

 
DYNAMO: In a small area they are on ya before ya know it.

 
TINY: And if you end up stuck in between a bunch don't think you can just run past them.

 
DYNAMO: Yeah, I always found that scene in the original "Dawn of the Dead" when they run threw like 40 of 'em a riot them zombies be eating a swat buffet before they could get through the food court. Ha ha ha! It's a good flick though. "Return of the Living Dead" is the closest to real life.

 
TINY: True, but they don't talk.

 
JV: You mentioned some films as tutorials. What do you mean by that?

 
TINY: Hollywood puts out films that a small group of rich retired monster hunters disguised as horror or action flicks. They put them out so people that don't know what to do when faced with scum from hell on their doorstep. Or when people what to know how to do what we do.

 
JV: What would you say some of the best of these monster hunting "tutorials" are?

 
TINY: Any of the Romero's dead flicks. "Kronos Vampire Hunter" or Dog Soldiers Blade 1 and 2." The "Aliens" movies. "Kill Bill." The new "Dawn." "Bad Taste" and "Dead Alive" but the best of 'cores are Ramie's "Evil Dead" flicks.

 
JV: OK - speaking of movies. How is the long awaited Deadites DVD coming?

 
DYNAMO: Its' getting there. The guy who is putting all the footage together was waiting for an update on his big ass editing PC thingamacall it of doom. We got Eric Polselli and some guy named Steve finishing up the last of the interviews at the show on April 2.

 
JV: Let's move on to music. There is already a whole crop of new bands that are vying for your spot as Worcester 's number one club act. What advice do you have for them to move up the ranks and become a headliner?

 
DYNAMO: Don't be so ugly.

 
TINY: Take Standard Deviation for instance - the girl is not so bad on the eyes but the rest of the band looks like the talent show crowed in Emmett Otter's jug band Christmas.

 
DYNAMO: You know who is getting there? Snakes & Ladders. They are real close to the top spot.

 
JV: So, in your opinion Snakes & Ladders are Worcester 's next big band?

 
DYNAMO: Oh. I thought we still where talking wicked ugly bands.

 
JV: You best be careful. They could read this and corner you in a dark alley some night.

 
TINY: I can see it now. Steve Blake and his crew with hate and death in their eyes. The image chills me to the bone.

 
DYNAMO: Just so long as they don't bring those monsters from Hothead with 'em with their scary business "booooooooo" I'm scary power pop oooooooo."

 
TINY: Bwaahahahahahaha.

 
JV: OK guys, calm down. I want a serious answer. Is there any one you two are afraid of? Is there any one who scares you two any one at all?

 
DYNAMO: yea there is one guy.

 
JV: Who?

 
DYNAMO AND TINY: JOHN DONOVAN!

 
JV: What?

 
DYNAMO: What do ya mean what?

 
JV: John Donovan?

 
TINY: Yeah.

 
JV: From the Bee's Knees?

 
DYNAMO: You take a long hard look in his eyes this man is a killer. A stone cold killer

 
JV: John Donovan?

 
DYNAMO: That man will just as soon kill you as shake your hand.

 
TINY: Evil. Pure evil.

 
JV: John Donavan? Formerly of the Deal?

 
DYNAMO: Deal smeal formerly of the injustice gang responsible for 300 deaths

 
TINY: ...in Worcester alone.

 
DYNAMO: He was the man behind the St. Patrick's Day slaughter.

 
TINY: I saw him make Charlie Manson and GW Bush and Hitler cry all at once. He is a real bad ass.

 
DYNAMO: He owes me like two grand and I'm too afraid to ask for it back.

 
JV: What does he owe you two grand for?

 
DYNAMO: I sold him some guns.

 
JV: WHAT?

DYNAMO: I Said I sold him some guns. God you always have to yell with this guy. It's like talking to my granddad.

 
JV: You sold john from Brilliant guns?

 
TINY: Well, we were not using 'em any more.

 
JV: You seem to have a vendetta against Mike Thibodeau

 
DYNAMO: Well he better get on his Bee's Knee's and pray I don't find 'em.

 
JV: Umm, OK moving on. Your birthday show is coming up. Dynamo - are the Velvet Whores going to be on hand this year?

 
DYNAMO: Hell yes.

 
JV: Tiny - how do you feel that Dynamo uses the leverage of his birthday to trot out his washed up band from the '70s?

 
TINY: I do not like the Velvet Whores nor do I care for what they represent.

 
JV: What? Ripping off '70s songs and saying they wrote them?

 
DYNAMO: Strike one!

 
TINY: They came at a time when smoking dope and doing coke off the ass of cheap hookers and when getting laid was more important then doing the right thing. Worst still their guitarist is a murderer

 
DYNAMO: No one every proved he killed that scream queen! Rob Rockly is a genius not only is he the best guitar player of all time in this town. He is a god in the studio - look what he with that lousy Christmas song you wrote.

 
TINY: It is lousy but it's not my fault.

 
DYNAMO: What's that supposed to mean?

 
TINY: Let's just say you're no Bing Crosby.

 
DYNAMO: What's the pudding pop guy have to do with any thing?

 
JV: Any good old Whores' tour tales?

 
DYNAMO: We were out with Sabbath once and Ozzy did a line off ants and then Johnny Heartbeat, the drummer of the Whores, snorted Ozzy. Duke saw this and he's

 
TINY: And he is proud of all this folks.

 
DYNAMO: I've cleaned up allot since the old days.

 
TINY: Hear that folks? The guy who peed his pants on stage the last show at the Lucky Dog has "cleaned up."

 
DYNAMO: They never proved that was my pee!

 
JV: OK, break it up you two. So, Dynamo - some say your appearances at the Green Street Music Series are what put the elaborate cover night's on the map.

 
DYNAMO: And they'd be right.

 
JV: Others say that by being there at all you sold out.

 
DYNAMO: They'd be right too.

 
JV: Pardon?

 
DYNAMO: For three shows, Greg Munro, the promoter and music director of the Green Street Music Series has told me what to sing and what to wear. That's not me but up until now I liked Greg a lot so I did it.

 
JV: You don't now?

 
DYNAMO: I am suing him.

 
JV: For what?

 
DYNAMO: His next GSM is chalk fulla songs I wrote and he is claiming some buncha chumps wrote 'em.

 
JV: Have you asked him to compensate you in any way?

 
TINY: Yes and he tried to pay my client in flip-flops and windbreakers.

 
JV: You're a lawyer now too?

 
TINY: I passed the bar on Wednesday.

 
DYNAMO: So anyway, there will be no next GMSS 22 or whatever it is. It will not happen unless the folks want to pay me and the Whores a load of cash.

 
TINY: They can do the Black Rose Garden Rawhead Rex night they had planed for the one after this one.

 
DYNAMO: And they said Greg was running out of ideas!

 
JV: Also performing on your b-day bill is Colorblind. Why do you think John Kervin gets so many chicks?

 
DYNAMO: Probably 'cause he's hung like Donkey Kong!

 
JV: He is? I mean how do you know?

 
TINY: He is a freak. The whole damn band are freaks!

 
JV: What's freaky about them?

 
TINY: Ever see a 12 foot two Asian guy before Kervin wheeled one out on stage to play keyboards? Colorblind is a top-notch freak show. They almost called them self Big Cock and Kervin and the Giant Claremont but they opted for Colorblind instead.

 
JV: I don't think that is true.

 
TINY:So I'm a liar now?

 
DYNAMO: Strike two!

 
TINY: You better not joke around JV. Dynamo is in a bad mood - Gilmore Girls was a repeat this week.

 
JV: Which brings me to my next question. What do you say to people that say you are just a joke band, a novelty act?

 
DYNAMO: It's funny this guy we know called us A "joke" a short time ago. Now if ya think what we do is a stick, that's OK. If you hate the fact that we wrestle and that we wear masks, that's OK too. But any one who knows us knows that any one who is down with the Deadites get what we are all about. But this guy plays video games for a job has a nice house and really has nothing to be so upset about but he has a band name more depressing then a truck load of Smiths' CD's sings about offing him self at Christmas. And all that's fine in a get your meds before it's too late sorta way but...

 
TINY: ...but we are the phony ones.

 
JV: Money can't buy happiness.

 
DYNAMO: I am pretty happy on payday.

 
JV: Well, let's wrap it up with a little word association

 
DYNAMO: OK.

 
JV: Wormtown Sound Awards

 
TINY: Best pop bands

 
JV: Doc Siddall.

 
DYNAMO: Hack.

 
JV: Oracle

 
DYNAMO: Better and better every

 
JV: Andy Christ

 
TINY: Out of his mind.

 
JV: The Lucky Dog

 
TINY: Still owes us money.

 
JV: The Pope

 
DYNAMO: Muppet.

 
JV: Paul from Huck.

 
DYNAMO: Velvet Whores bassist Mitch Britches wanna be.

 
JV: Friday, April 2 at the Lucky Dog

 
TINY: The best Deadites show ever. Hands down. And you best all come to the show. Without the money we get from gigs we can't fight evil and it's getting bad out there. I just read a headline that summed it up "Zombies topple Jesus at North American theaters."

 
DYNAMO: Wow dem zombies are getting bold. You best start to appreciate us Worcester !
