RM: Welcome to Rockstar Magazine guys.

How is the Club?

Johnny X: Dead Love Club is definitely in fine form and shaping up quite nicely to become a pretty sexy beast this year. We’re working on a full length album and the new live band is on fire. I think it’s safe to say that we’re out for blood.

RM: Please introduce the band members and what they play in the group.

Don Jon: We’ve got Johnny X on lead vocals, the gorgeous Emmy “Ferocious E” Robbin on she-vocals, Kriss St. Kriss on guitar, myself (Don Jon) on keys and the scandalous miss Rona Rougeheart on drums. The band is definitely hot and we’re ready to fuck some shit up.

RM: Ferocious E, how did you get involved with the band and what’s it like performing on stage with Johnny?

Ferocious E: I remember driving and getting a call from Johnny asking me if I was interested in joining. He described the band to me and I had never heard of a band like that.

It sounded so fun and sexy. I sang in a few cover bands before, but this was an opportunity for me to be a performer with a character behind a mask. He played me their first CD “Chronic Electronic” and I played it in my car all the time.

I wanted to be a part of DLC right away! That was 2 years ago. Johnny is my rock on stage. He helps me feel more comfortable with myself every show! Who wouldn’t wanna rock with him?!

RM: Ferocious E, we’ve heard that you’re an actress as well. Can you tell us a little about your roles/experience?

Ferocious E: I started acting in the womb. I love performing.

The stage and behind the camera are so fun. I have been in Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City, Planet Terror, Machete, Machete Kills, and coming out this year Sin City 2. I was also a lead in a horror flick that was #2 at Red Box all over the country for a while called I Didn’t Come Here To Die. I like to play strong, confident, sexy characters. Ferocious E is a character I created. She is a tough hard to handle man eater. I get into character, go on stage, then when the show is over I’ll be innocent and sweet again. Well... Maybe.

RM: Tell us about the new EP. What is it called?

Rona: The new EP is self titled “Dead Love Club”. It’s kind of a second introduction to the band following our debut album “Chronic Electronic”. The EP is free to download at our website, so we don’t really consider it an official release.

RM: I have seen the band perform several times now on Red River at Elysium and Headhunters/ Metal & Lace. Great Live shows! The audience is kind of a mixed bag and apparently, some of them can’t keep their clothes on!

Don Jon: Our live show is always a blast and we’re just trying to show everyone a good time and not take ourselves too seriously. That’s why I think the band is catching fire so quickly. We can feel that people want to be entertained

again and that’s why folks are coming to our shows. They just want to have fun and not be bored to death. It’s not rocket science.

Johnny X: It’s all about giving the audience a titillating experience that leaves a lasting impression. Our crowd is super fun and it is a mixed bag. Our music is for everyone.

People want to unleash and have a great time with no inhibitions or judgements. And yeah, some people are inspired to strip. We never know what we’re going to inspire, but we can say it’s always a unique, memorable experience.

RM: The song “Shock Electric” really gets the crowd going. A lot of energy coming off the stage from you guys. Where does this energy come from?

Johnny X: Our energy comes from each other and from the audience. Each band member contributes his/her own energy and together we’re like an atom bomb of debauchery and rock n’ roll. We derive energy from the crowd and vice versa, we satiate each other. DLC music is designed to be simple and funky, so once the crowd gets going it’s a centrifugal force. No one ever said rock ‘n roll should be difficult.

RM: What is the song “Devil On The Run” about?

Is that song about devil worship or is there a deeper hidden message to the lyrics? I can’t seem to put a finger on it.

Johnny X: We actually don’t really worship the devil and it
