\"\"<\/a>\u201cDead Star Renegade is the bastard son of a band started more than 15 years ago right out of high school. Believe us, it’s a loooooooooooooong story.\u00a0 We’ve played so many shows over that time I’ve lost count.\u00a0 We’ve played to packed houses on some of the best stages in the country and we’ve played to nobody in some of the dingiest dives imaginable.\u00a0 We’ve survived drug and alcohol abuse, infighting, out of controls egos, breakups and even mental breakdowns.\u00a0 We play Rock and Roll… That is it. We love it, we always have and we always will.<\/p>\n

Melbourne has one of the greatest LIVE music scenes in the world and Dead Star Renegade is proud to be part of it.\u00a0 If you love LIVE music and you’re lucky enough to be in Melbourne, come and experience Dead Star Renegade. Great times, great bars, great music, great city.\u201d\u00a0 Bio courtesy of www.deadstarrenegade.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Check out our interview below with the bands bass player, Tim Dobie and catch them at one of their upcoming Melbourne gigs!<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the basics first \u2013 what brought the band together and what is the inspiration behind the band name? <\/strong>
\nWell, the nucleus of the band started way back about 15 years ago when Jimmy, Jay and myself were playing together in a band called Kwijibo.\u00a0 That band fizzled after a while and we all went on with other projects but always kept in touch.\u00a0 Dead Star Renegade started when I heard some\u00a0demos Jimmy had been putting together.\u00a0 I had some of my own so we got to talking and decided we had something we both wanted to take a little further.\u00a0 I’d done plenty of projects with Jay over the years and I knew he’d be up for it.\u00a0 It has been great so far, kinda like getting the old team back together.\u00a0 Our 2 guitarists Matt and Vik really inject some new blood into what we do.\u00a0 It’s a really strong unit these days.<\/p>\n

As for the band name… I think we all grow up idolising those larger than life rock star, movie star types …especially the outlaws.\u00a0 We love ’em even though they all end up dead.\u00a0 Maybe we love ’em BECAUSE they all end up dead I dunno.\u00a0 It’s just a morbid fascination thing for me\u00a0I guess. haha!<\/p>\n

You have twenty seconds in an elevator to try and convince someone to listen to your music, what do you tell them?<\/strong>
\nI’ve just released a toxic gas into this elevator which enters your head via your ears and\u00a0implodes your brain!\u00a0 Here… quick! Put these headphones on. They are your only hope!<\/p>\n

Can you introduce each member of your band and give us a rock “n” roll fact or myth about each of them?<\/strong>
\nJimmy Van Zeno: Vocals.\u00a0 Once swung on the\u00a0lighting rig at\u00a0gig tearing the bolts out of the roof and leaving it hanging precariously over our heads.\u00a0 He continued singing as the concrete dust sparkled in his hair.<\/p>\n

Jay Pizzey: Drums.\u00a0 Over indulged and threw up on his own feet during the first song of our previous bands\u00a0EP launch.\u00a0 He didn’t miss a beat!<\/p>\n

Tim Dobie: Bass (me).\u00a0 Once got nailed in the head by the headstock of a very sharp guitar during a particularly vigorous headbangin session.\u00a0 I don’t remember the rest of the gig but I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss a beat haha!<\/p>\n

Matt Owen: Guitar\u00a0 Mmm…\u00a0I haven’t\u00a0built up the courage to ask him\u00a0yet but I think he might\u00a0be\u00a0part hobbit.\u00a0 I’m sure I heard him whispering to his ring the other day.<\/p>\n

Vik Kundra:\u00a0 Guitar.\u00a0 Vik’s only been in the band a couple of weeks\u00a0so I don’t have much dirt on him\u00a0yet… but it wont be long!<\/p>\n

You have recently released your CD ‘Blackwing’, \u00a0how long did the process of writing and recording the songs take? <\/strong>
\nThe songs were written over the course of about a year.\u00a0 We probably went through about 20 or so songs to get to the point where we thought we had 10 strong enough to do an album with.\u00a0 \u2018The Serpent’ was the only one that really had any tweaking done to it once we started the actual recording process.\u00a0 Jimmy and I pretty much rewrote the entire vocal melody for the verses in the studio… I think he notched up around 250 takes getting it just how we wanted it.\u00a0 He was pretty spent after that haha!<\/p>\n

The entire recording process was about 12 days.\u00a0 Jay spent 5 of those on drums and came away with a couple of chipped bones in his fingers and some pretty awesome bruises on his legs.\u00a0 He’s a trooper.<\/p>\n

For those of us familiar with fellow Melbourne\/Australian rockers Electric Mary, the name Ricki Rae should be familiar, who you have used to produce your album. \u00a0In appointing him as your producer, what instructions were delivered to him about the sound you were after?<\/strong>
\nwell… you don’t exactly\u00a0instruct Ricki, you bow to his genius haha!\u00a0 Nah, he’s an awesome producer and we had a great time working together.\u00a0\u00a0He kinda knew what we wanted by just coming down and watching us rehearse.\u00a0 It’s big, it’s loud and thumping’.\u00a0 The main thing he kept reiterating was that he wanted to capture us being us.\u00a0 That’s a big part of why we chose to work with him… he got where we were coming from right off the bat and we felt comfortable bouncing ideas off each other through the entire process.<\/p>\n

In terms of your songwriting, what do you consider to be the most important ingredients that make up a Dead Star Renegade song? <\/strong>
\nI think everyone in the band comes from a slightly different place musically and because of that\u00a0there are probably a few important elements to our songs.\u00a0 We’re fans of\u00a0massive chorus\u2019s,\u00a0interesting arrangements, guitar solos and big riffs.\u00a0 We love a good key change and we have this habit of jumping into something that is seemingly unrelated to the previous bit of the song… Ricki coined the phrase “Frankenstein\u00a0Music” to describe what we do. I think he was taking the piss but we kinda like the analogy.<\/p>\n

Is the process of songwriting a whole of band affair, or are there a few key contributors?<\/strong>
\nJimmy and I wrote all the songs on this album.\u00a0 That’s not to say the other guys didn’t contribute because a huge amount of making those songs come to life is in the unique style and influence of the band.\u00a0 We would come in to rehearsal with a song that in itself was pretty bare boned and the band would then flesh it out and make it into something worth listening to.\u00a0 Just recently we have started collaborating a bit more on some new material and\u00a0all the boys in the band are keen to contribute songs for the next album\u00a0so we’re really excited about what might come of that in the next couple of months.<\/p>\n

What or who inspires\/influences your music the most?<\/strong>
\nYou know there is so much great music out there to choose from.\u00a0 Rock and Roll has been around for a pretty long time now and each decade has something great to offer.\u00a0 I find myself pulling influence from everything from Chuck Berry to Disturbed.\u00a0 Hopefully what happens in our band is that we pluck influences out of different corners and create something that is more than the sum of it’s parts.<\/p>\n

Lyrically Jimmy and I both tend to dig into our slightly darker side I guess, we both have plenty of experience with obsession, addiction, frustration and all that fun stuff.\u00a0 I find writing lyrics to be kind of cathartic… get the demons out in the songs so they don’t haunt you in real life haha!<\/p>\n

What bands did you grow up listening to and how did they help create the style of music that can now be heard throughout your album?<\/strong>
\nMy two older brothers brought me up on a healthy dose of Zeppelin, Kiss, The Angels\u00a0and\u00a0The Police but my parents were pretty into Jazz. I loved all the\u00a0Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich kinda stuff.\u00a0 I also had an Uncle who gave me a bunch of Surf music when\u00a0I was like 3 years old.\u00a0 I had my own little plastic record player and I used to flog that stuff… I still have a 7″ single of Wipe Out in my cupboard at home.<\/p>\n

The first Album I ever bought was Iron Maiden ‘Number Of The Beast’.\u00a0 I was in grade five… my mum was horrified when she saw the cover haha!\u00a0 Around the same time I remember hearing Motley Crue “Shout At The Devil” and W.A.S.P. “F**k Like Beast” on the same day at a mates house and they blow my mind.\u00a0 In my first year of\u00a0High SchooI I discovered Van Halen and Ozzy Osbourne and there was no turning back.\u00a0 So I was definitely a metal kid.<\/p>\n

After High SchooI opened my mind to all sorts of other possibilities and got into all kinds of pop, grunge, dance, hip hop, you name it.\u00a0 I thinking that period really helped my song writing.<\/p>\n

As you can tell soon as you listen to the Album all those heavy rock influences really shape how\u00a0we approach music but hopefully some of the other stuff leaks through now and then as well.<\/p>\n

Having gone through the process of writing, recording and now releasing your CD, as well as playing live shows….I gotta ask, what’s the most rewarding aspect of doing what you do with Dead Star Renegade?<\/strong>
\nI guess it’s two fold.\u00a0 On one hand as a teenager I used to listen to\u00a0guys like Ozzy and Nikki Sixx and think man this guy has just reached into my head and plucked out my thoughts! Or how is he making me feel this awesome just by playing a piece of music!\u00a0 So the biggest thrill for me is when some is turned on by our music.\u00a0 If just one kid can sit back and feel even half what\u00a0I felt listening to those guys\u00a0I’ll die happy haha!<\/p>\n

The other part is playing Live… that special connection that you feel when the room is buzzing and everyone seems like they are feeling it as one… it’s pretty special.<\/p>\n

For those reading this who haven’t yet had the pleasure, how would you describe 45 minutes spent at a Dead Star Renegade live show?<\/strong>
\nWell, I’ve never stood in the crowd at one of our shows obviously but HOPEFULLY they can spend 45min just getting lost in the whole thing.\u00a0 Forgetting all the bullshit that’s going on their lives and just sweat and move and take it all in.\u00a0 I mean, that’s what I do on stage so hopefully the people in the crowd can experience some of the same.<\/p>\n

You hail from Melbourne, Australia, for those reading this in galaxies far, far away, what do you have to say about the rock scene from which you originate?<\/strong>
\nRight now\u00a0it’s really a great place to play in a rock and roll band.\u00a0 We are constantly meeting great guys in hard working bands playing awesome music.\u00a0 Bands like Electric Mary, Fastrack, Destroy She Said, Attack Of The Mannequins… there’s heaps of em.\u00a0 And the fans are just died hard loyalists who really throw there support behind you which is awesome.\u00a0 Unfortunately I don’t thing the general public realise what an awesome scene we really have.\u00a0If you\u2019re into rock and roll but your not actively seeking out the music you\u2019re probably\u00a0getting spoon feed a a bunch of recycled stuff on the radio.\u00a0 We all acknowledge that there were some great bands rockin’ stages in Australia throughout the later part of the\u00a0last Century but you wouldn’t even know there was a scene to speak of out there these days.\u00a0\u00a0It’s a shame cos there is some awesome stuff going on out there… you just have to look for it yourself.<\/p>\n

Of the gigs you have played so far, is there one that stands out from amongst the rest?<\/strong>
\nYeah probably when we launched our first single “Tommy Gun”.\u00a0 The crowd was just really supportive, pushing to the front, singing along and generally having a great time.\u00a0 We really felt the love that night. \u00a0We even got asked to do an encore which was awesome but hilarious because we didn’t have anything else to play! We ended up doing the single again which kinda went down well anyway I think.\u00a0 Was a top night.<\/p>\n

With 2011 already a few months down, here’s a chance to gaze into your crystal ball. \u00a0In 2011, Dead Star Renegade will have:<\/strong>
\n1.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Played shows\u00a0in QLD, NSW, SA, and TAS as well as\u00a0reaching out into regional VIC a bit.
\n2.<\/strong>\u00a0 Generated enough interest in ‘Blackwing’ to start planning a follow up album
\n3.\u00a0<\/strong> Made a few thousand people feel like coming to see Dead\u00a0Star Renegade was well worth getting of the couch for!<\/p>\n
