<\/p>\n

1. Would you like to talk us about your new album?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Well I kind of swore off doing interviews but you caught me on a good night . Haha . <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The album is kristy majors & the thrill kills . It’s a raw , in your face , stripped down punk rock \/ glam record . <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

2. Who are the musicians that contributed in this album?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Kari Kane played the drums and did an amazing job . I recorded all the other instruments ,vocals , \u00a0mixed, engineered and produced it in my studio , highway to hell .<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

3. How do you deal with part of the Press that accused you of plagiarism in terms of song compositions?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
I think there’s a few unknowledgeable idiots \u00a0who try to spin a story to gain traffic to their websites . I laugh at it . Tim , the main songwriter and I worked out an agreement to record these songs with full permission and all publishing royalties get paid accordingly . I have nothing to hide . The trolls on the Internet have nothing better to do with their time but to generate hate and nonsense . Who fucking cares . It’s such a joke that’s beyond laughable . <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
4. Do you intend to tour for the promotion of the album, if yes which is going to be the line up for the touring?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
No , I will not be touring on this album . I record music in my spare time as a hobby . My agency and other endeavors are far more lucrative to me . I’ve been focusing my attention on them over the past few years .I’ve said this for a decade now .I do this for fun. Whining , little bitch band members , yoko Ono ‘s , drama and getting paid no money isn’t fun . <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

5. <\/strong><\/span>In the early 90s Majors you worked for Sony records as an A&R. How different was to work on the management side instead of being the musician?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
It was great. \u00a0I actually started out in the legal department . I’m a certified paralegal and then started signing some artists that did really well in there genres . My love and passion is music . Everything I do revolves around that \u00a0. I learned so much of the business aspect and had a great mentor of Robert tauro , rip . This had a great impact in my life that steered me on the path to where I am now \u00a0. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
6. <\/span>How are you doing with Artists Worldwide booking agency? What are the difficulties of owning a booking agency?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
AWW is going on 18 years and stronger than ever . Owning any company goes hand in hand with stress and the daily ups and downs of being a CEO . It’s a fun business most of the time and I have great personal relationships with my clients. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

7. Do you think that composing music for movies and commercials is more profitable than recording music with the other projects that you are associated with?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Yes , you get paid a fee for the work you create plus keep 100% ownership of the songs and collect 100% of the royalties. There’s no over head or nonsense involved . I really enjoy the work because it can range from instrumentals to just noises, 30 second jingles or full songs . Hopefully one day I can score an entire horror movie . <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
8. What is current status of your relationship with the other member of Pretty Boy Floyd?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Kari and I have always got along well and never had any problems . He’s doing great in the movie world so I don’t get a chance to see him often . I have no ill feelings towards Steve . It’s just brothers who have been fighting for 25 years . We are all getting older and our priorities have shifted to family and relationships . <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
9. Why do you think that\u00a0 Pretty Boy Floyd never really made it to be a TOP 10 selling band?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
We sucked . Hahaha . Just joking . It just wasn’t in the cards . I’m grateful for the opportunity and had a blast . I’m not one of those bitter musicians to cast blame or point fingers. It was a wild , once in a lifetime ride and I wouldn’t change a thing . <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

10. What is your opinion about the influence of technology in the music industry?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Ummm . It’s very hard to make a living in the music industry . Everybody illegally downloads songs or just buys a single . Just look at the billboard charts today . If you sell 2-3 thousand copies in one week your probably in the top 50 . 20 years ago you were dropped from the label if that happened . I think the Internet and modern technology is good for some things but not for the entertainment industry or personal relationships \u00a0.<\/p>\n
