Bringing The Horror Down Under With WEDNESDAY 13

Bringing The Horror Down Under With WEDNESDAY 13

Author: HEAVY Magazine October 13, 2025 Duration: 18:25
Interview by Kyra-Jade Coombs
October with all its spooky Halloween charm is the perfect setting to catch up with Wednesday 13. Our very own Kim Dracula has summoned Wednesday 13 to join him in his Australian tour starting in Sydney on the 21st of November. These shows are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth for all things macabre with each band having their unique style and stage presence that will have you hooked.
Throughout his career Wednesday 13 has had such an interesting journey and we couldn’t wait to hear his story. Maintaining success in this industry doesn’t come easy. Among many other things, Wednesday has managed to reinvent himself after riding the wave of success with The Murderdolls, proving his music, tenacity and brand is something special.
We delve into the origins of Wednesday 13 - the stage name, the band and the influence horror has had on Wednesday's career. He went on to share a story about working on set in full costume when a wildfire in LA breaks out and the band jumped in to help save the day which got his blood pumping and concreted his dislike of fires. Over the interview we started to reveal the many layers that make up the Wednesday 13 that we know and love today and we hope you enjoy peaking into his weird and wonderful world.
The Horror Down Under Tour is going to be one hell of a show that you don’t want to miss out on.
