Words With a Dead Man. 03/16/2010
![]() Zombies, as a general rule of thumb aren't known for there personality, let alone their sense of humor. That didn't stop Dead Elvis from thinking it was a practical joke when the people from Split Works contacted him about bringing his one man band, or shall I say 'One Man Grave' to China. In fact it took 3 messages on the myspace before the cryptic king of rock took the notion seriously. Last night we received a call from Dead Elvis himself while he was on a train from what I can only assume was the underworld, to Chongqing. As I answered the phone, clouds rolled in overhead, rain began to fall, and a chill ran through my bones, but none the less I was able to get out a few questions with the undead rocker before my body became paralyzed with fear. CQ SCENE: What can the people of Chongqing expect from to see from Dead Elvis and His One Man Grave? Dead Elvis: Monster Rock and Roll! B movie style, like from the 60's. Songs from out of the grave, singing about past life, death, heaven and Hell. I'm a one man band so I play the drums with my feet, guitar with my hands, and sing. CQS: You've played a few shows in China already, how has the reaction been? DE: I'm a one man band, and I wear a mask, so people were amazed, laughing and giggling. CQS: And what has been your favorite thing about China so far? DE: Everyone is so nice. Its so amazing! Vox in Wuhan is very cool. We hung out with the guys from the store next door, the Wuhan Prison, and they were really cool punks. Its good to see real punks in China.
