Today is the IVAN DEPRUME INTERVIEW EPISODE! WOOOO!
Also featuring more retrospective on the 1932 White Zombie film and narratives provided by Rob Zombie, Sean Yseult and Jay Yuenger from old interviews and blogs and books. The fine people at Radish Mattress and I will cover, among other topics:
- Ivan's upbringing in Brooklyn, his drum heros, and how he fit into the band over the years
- Rebuilding the engine on the White Zombie van for their early tours
- The elements of his 1992 drum kit that he still owns and uses in his recent projects
- How his mother got to America to escape Nazi occupation and death camps in Ukraine and Poland
- The Boundless Joy album and tour last year
- His best times in the gym with Rob Zombie
- His impression of every White Zombie guitarist over the years
- His view of Sean and Rob's separation and how it led to the splintering of the band's family vibe
- How he ate on the first European tour after blowing all his per diem money on a bitchin pair of leather pants
- The scary encounters on the road to places like revolution-wracked Yugoslavia and the Berlin Wall when it was torn down
- The bogus story Rob made up about why Ivan left White Zombie and the audio of Rob making bullshit up onstage on Phil's first night behind the kit
- Ivan's views on how to best live life and take care of the people and communities around us
- My breakdown of Victor Halperin's techniques in the film "White Zombie" and the way the movie made me feel all these years after first seeing it in 1996
- An exploration of Jay Yuenger's studio notes on "La Sexorcisto" and "Astro Creep" including the Phaser trick on "Blur the Technicolor"
- A dip back into Rob Zombie's history starting after his "PeeWee's Playhouse" experience and the indie NYC noise band scene White Zombie was entrenched in at the time. Also his time doing layout and typesetting for little known porno mags
- A wrap up of Sean Yseult's narrative on her years in the band and the noble modesty she displays by not using it to air any dirty laundry and simply highlight all the fun times and great people she experienced when the band got big. I mean, lots of other people would make an entire book about what it was like in the 80s and 90s if they were involved romantically with Rob Zombie, Dave Wyndorf and Al Jourgensen, right? But instead you get drawings and handwritten sheet music and cool electric basses and homemade costumes and cocktail party themes.
- And through it all there's plenty of helpful input from our sponsor representative brand officer CEO of Radish Mattress/Bootleg Ayhueasca of Canton, Ohio Inc. We praise and thank them for their partnership, and all heads must bow and each tongue shall confess and every knee shall bend for Radish Mattress.
