Tone Raven and Luthario Mitcho from Hollywood hard rock band We Are The Black Things made their way behind the Orange Curtain to attend The NAMM Show at The Anaheim Convention Center. Promoting their recently released Down In Wuhan manifesto, Tone and Luthario stopped by the Highwire Daze magazine booth to discuss their new CD, a return to The NAMM Show, creating in Hollywood in the midst of a pandemic, and more!
Luthario: (on turntables) I’m looking forward to a lot of excitement and meeting a lot of classy people and just looking forward to having a ball – having a good time.
Introduce yourself and tell me what you are looking forward to the most about The NAMM Show this year. Tone Raven: I’m Tone Raven from We Are The Black Things, guitar/vocals. The thing I’m most excit24
Your new album is entitled Down In Wuhan. Tell me a little about the title and the inspiration behind it. Tone: Down In Wuhan – basically we’re down in the hell that Wuhan has created – which is basically like a metaphor for Down In Hell with regard to the Gain of Function lab release from the Wuhan virology. So, it’s just a nice way of saying you know where you can take this and we’re not going to take it anymore, and we’re going to fight back with the truth about our freedom to July/August 2022
