To me the Deadites are something different. The Deadites have made me a different person. And having made several fan sites and pieces of fan art, collecting an album of 400+ pictures, putting hours of promotion into each show, and currently attempting to put together a Deadites tribute act, I am without a doubt the absolute #1 Deadites fan. Though I don’t have the opportunity to see every Deadites show (being only a sixteen-year-old kid), I spend hours a week hanging out at Dynamo (Deadites’s front man) Habeeb’s comic store and talking to the man himself, The Whisky Drinking Father of All That Is Funky, the five-star alcoholic, Dynamo Habeeb. So The Deadites really are something different to me. I get a different story than the fan in the crowd that just dances and shouts back words to the stage. I get to be part of the system. I have worked with Mr. Habeeb before. I, Ryan Maley have even played the man in chess! And I have finally achieved the goal of sitting down with Habeeb for an interview. As The Deadites #1 fan, I am proud to present my afternoon with Dynamo Habeeb: RM: To start off, do have anything to say about winning Best Electronic/Experimental Act in Worcester’s Turtle Boy Music Awards? DH: Well, I’d like to thank the folks who voted for us. But the whole thing is a bit of a joke RM: It seems to be taken pretty seriously by all the voters. How is it a joke? DH: How excited could I be about an award named after a statue of a little kid fucking turtle? RM: Well I don’t think that’s wha -- Do the Deadites have any new songs? DH: Yea, we have a ton of new stuff. We’re gonna roll some of it out on Saturday. We got this one up beat jam called Furious Slaughter that I really think is gonna go over huge. We have a few other things that we’re crunchin’ to get done. RM: What do you assume the ratio of new to old songs is soon to be in The Deadites, including this Saturday at The Birthday Bash? DH: We’ll always play covered in blood and Trick-or-Treat Spy. And lets see, I really dig Shadow, and Too Sexy For Robots. It’s hard to do the math of old vs. new because we’ll keep playing until we get kicked off the stage. Let’s say a bunch of new, some very old, and some of yall’s favorites RM: How about rumors of a cd? DH: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. The cd question. What it really comes down to, man, is we’re all really busy. It’s hard for me to wrestle three days a week, run the comic shop, save the world when the need arises, and still be stoked to stand in a little room in front of a microphone for eight hours. One of the main things is we really are a live band, and the cd ain’t gonna sound like what we sound like live. Once we figure out how to duplicate the live thing it’ll be pretty exciting. Once we’re excited about it we’ll get it done. It’s really that simple. RM: If it happens will it just be new material? DH: I will say that if and when something gets done, 75% of it will be new stuff that we’ve written in the past year RM: What else is new in The Deadites? DH: We got some stuff coming up. V-man has his own wrestling school, as far as I know Tiny’s <referring to keyboardist of The Deadites, Tiny Wight> solo album is done, they’re making a theme park with rides modeled after my dink. Loads of fun stuff. RM: Let’s talk about the Bash. With it being the first big event for The Deadites in a while is there anything new planned for the birthday bash? DH: It’s gonna be awesome. There’s gonna be midgets, dancing naked titty girls, I think I’m gonna rape a goat. It’s gonna be off the hook. We got a new MC showing up, whose true identity I won’t give away, but I will say he’s the only other front man from Massachusetts worth a damn. RM: Sounds intense. You’ll have to get some pictures. What’s to say about the other opening acts? DH: You mean the midget. RM: Well I had Grenadier and Colorblind in mind. DH: I guess getting Grenadier to play was a big deal. I’m not sure if they broke up or were witness protection, but a lot of the feedback I’m getting is that folks are surprised their on the bill. As far as Colorblind goes, Jon Kervin is to me as Robin is to Batman, the Pope is to Jesus, that reporter who is always following around the Incredible Hulk is to The Incredible Hulk on the Incredible Hulk television show. I keep that guy around cause girls like him and he does tricks for peanuts. That and he’s got a twenty-foot tall Asian in his band. You don’t even need to ask why that freak show has opened for us in the past two hundred years. Not to mention that our DJ Sean Revolta (and his cavalcade of perversions) is gonna be out-fuckin-rageous RM: I understand that The Vigilante will be at the birthday bash. Is he back in The Deadites for good? DH: It’s hard to get the vigilante into the country since the homeland has been at war with Oxford. But I mean places where they hate America, like The Lucky Dog, and Rhode Island he’s welcomed with open arms. So we have to arrange our plane schedule around that. RM: What’s the news with The Velvet Whores? Many are curious why they are not returning for the Birthday Bash. DH: The whole Whores thing was getting so damn expensive. The band had to take other jobs. Johnny Heartbeat and Rob Rockly are both playing with Britney Fox. Mitch Britches is in jail because of that whole Madonna fiasco. RM: What happened there? DH: Just don’t worry about it. And don’t quote me, but I think that Duke Honeytouch died again. RM: Well that…. Ok then. Any other surprises or big events planned for the near future that you’d like to mention? DH: Now that’d be giving away all the good parts wouldn’t it?              |

I'm friggin' pissed!
Someone ate my last half gallon of vanilla bean ice cream that I had in the sub-zero walk-in freezer. It was clearly labeled "TINY WIGHT's VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM, ASSHOLE. NO TOUCHY."
I just got back from the grocery store with all these sundae fixin's and now I'm standing here with MUD on my face. Whoever took that ice cream, I swear to you "I will punch your fucking lights out".
