Orlando, FL - Austin, TX band SINE was on stage opening for Bauhaus frontman, Peter Murphy’s last US show of the 40 Years of Bauhaus Celebration Tour with David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets). Fellow Austin musician, Curse Mackey (Pigface, Evil Mothers, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult), was there with SINE to perform a song in their set. After the set was over, they got the news that Peter was not well enough to make the show. Not allowing the ship to go down, David J recruited Rona Rougeheart and Curse Mackey to help salvage the evening with a set of deconstructed Bauhaus tunes with Peter’s band featuring David on bass, Mark Thwaite on guitar and Marc Slutsky on drums. It was a night to remember! PHOTO: DAVID J WITH RONA ROUGEHEART AND CURSE MACKEY (COURTESY OF FADE IN PR)
We asked fans to submit questions to Rona Rougeheart of SINE and Curse Mackey for an Ask Me Anything! Who are the most influential people in both of your lives and why? _Mike W. CM: I’m influenced by friends, family, and artists I admire. Nick Cave, Perry Farrell, Ogre of Skinny Puppy, Trent Reznor, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore of Depeche Mode, Robert Smith of the Cure, Groovie Mann of My life with the Thrill Kill Kult amongst others. They continue to challenge expectations of who they are as artists, evolving into TV, film, fine art, large scale cultural gatherings, technology while still making amazing music this far into their career. This tells me that I can do the same as long as I continue to produce and apply myself. RR: The most influential person in my life is my father. He was a musician, as well. I’m carrying on his musical DNA - that will always be a part of me. My most musical influence would be Depeche Mode. They were the first band I saw live and inspired me to write and create my own music. What was the best live show you’ve seen and what made it so great? _Joey G. CM: Tough question as there have been so many. Depeche Mode’s “Black Celebration” Tour as it was one of my first concerts. Ministry’s “Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste” Cage Tour was just over the top mayhem at the peak of the early 90’s industrial wave. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in Denver on my birthday last year when both Rona Rougeheart from SINE and I ended up on stage. Nick and I had a very brief conversation about Rona in between verses. It was quite special. Have you ever experienced any paranormal phenomena? _R1ch13 B. CM: I was outside playing in the snow as a very small child and a big Black Ops helicopter came up over the horizon of a hillside I was on, I recall running and falling flat on my face and seeing the pilot looking right at me as he hovered above the ground. This story is actually the beginning of my in-progress biography which also will contain another
“alien” story that I’m not going to divulge at this time. RR: SInce I was a child I always felt like I was being watched all the time. It used to bother me, but I’ve gotten used to it. There was a period of time where I would close my eyes to go to sleep, I would hear what sounded like radio chatter in another room. It sounded like a bunch of people talking all at once and it would gradually get louder. As soon as I would open my eyes it would stop. I figured it was the chatter of souls on the astral plane. How does one get their name out there and better promote our music? _T.J. CM: Keep writing music and refining your craft. Support local and regional events, bands and DJs that cater to your genre. Be an active participant online and in-person. It is much easier to gain support if you’ve made face to face contact with as many people as possible prior to asking them to support your music. If I’ve seen you at my shows and other friends shows, you’ve bought my CD, I’ve seen you posting actively making cool recommendations and are a positive contributor to the community at large, then I’m more apt to give your music a listen or to help you get a show. Having a good video is important as well. Keep at it, you may just become an overnight success in ten years if you play your cards right. RR: What has worked best for SINE is playing shows with other bands in your scene that help build relationships and community among each other. Be sure you have a website and great online presence as well as in person, presence. Carry business cards and meet new people where ever you go. If you’re looking to level up, I found it very helpful to hire a PR firm that knows your genre to help get the word out if you have something to promote, like an album, single or video. Getting on DJ playlists are also very helpful...anything that gets your music played in clubs and podcasts are always a plus. †††
