I can't believe I missed this interview with my baby! Valdyr: So we'll start with the obvious question - tell us some of your thoughts on Punk Statik Paranoia. How do you feel about the music you've created? Paige: It came out really well...it's a trip because we recorded most of this a year ago. I'm really glad we got it done. It came out well considering what we went through. Valdyr: Which song off this new record would you pick as your favorite? Paige: Hard to say; probably "Vague"...but you know what, I haven't really had a chance to sit down with it and listen to it since it came out. But off the top of my head, yeah, I'd say "Vague". Valdyr: Do you have any funny or inspirational stories during the recording that you could share with the fans? Paige: Let's see...what would be a good one…there was nothing really out of the ordinary. We had this studio...it's cool...it's like this space-vibe. It was kind of weird; in the back of an alley of warehouses. Really, it was just a lot of work and a lot of rehearsing and writing instead of just knocking out the songs in the studio. Before, we'd just record the songs, but this time we actually spent some time rehearsing and working on the songs in the studio as we went along. Valdyr: Fans are clamoring for some new information about pretty much anything...the next single, potential music videos, touring information. Is there anything you can tell us about what might be in store for Orgy? Paige: We have a few treatments that are really cool...so we'll definitely be doing a video. One thing we'll definitely do this time is not to be too involved. We just want to let them do their own concepts this time, instead of reworking every detail. Valdyr: Ok, moving on...so what's the deal with Ringer? It seems that this new project has been kept on the dl, and fans are just dying to know what to expect. Can you tell us a bit more about it? Paige: Yeah, it's a project our friend of ours, Rust Beer, with Dark City Music, started. One day I got a call from him and he pretty much just got with people he worked with, and brought us all together. The thing is we're already good friends, and if you saw us out at a club or something, you'd think we're a band together already, so it makes perfect sense. In the midst of recording PSP, I was also working on Ringer on the side, and Craig and Eric are now putting on their finishing touches. It's almost completed, and it's a totally different vibe for everyone involved, and not going to be what the fans may expect. Valdyr: Any ideas when we might get a full-fledged site for Ringer, and/or some sound clips? Paige: Yeah, it's almost done. I'll be going to Craig's later to do some final stuff, extra imput...so hopefully in the next month we'll have something more online. Valdyr: Last month I had the chance to interview a band you've produced, ION, for D1. Can you tell us a little about them? I know that they're coming out with their album on March 12th…are you planning on working with them again in the future? Paige: I just talked to Todd a few days ago in fact. He says they're still working on making stuff happen. They had sent me and demo and asked if me and Mikey would help them out, and we thought, why not? They're totally cool guys and easy to work with. Had my whole studio in my house, so it was a fun project to do. As for future stuff, sure, if they want to! Valdyr: I saw the other day that Claudia of Lunarclick* posted on the PSP board, saying that you had helped produce one of their new songs, "Hey You." Are you working on anything with them now, or are there any more plans? Paige: I just helped her out with that one song while Carlton was out with Deadsy. She wanted to get it done before one of her shows, so she brought over the tracks and I worked with her on it. Valdyr: So what else are you up to these days? Any other bands that I’ve missed? Paige: Well, I've got my solo project...it's gonna be really ***** cool. I am working with Mikey on it. He's drumming, and some of my other friends are involved. I'm actually just going to be the singer for this, though I have been writing mostly everything and recording everything myself so far. But when we do live performances, I'll just be singing. Valdyr: What are you doing in your "down" time (if you have any) now that the album is finished? Paige: Just really the side project; I've been working with that on and off. Sometimes I take a lot of time out for it, and other times I'll let it sit and do other things. But yeah, just working on that. Valdyr: In the past couple of month, Amir and Ryan have graced the fans with two kick-ass websites: Julien-K and Amir's personal site. Then Bobby just told us about the upcoming site for his Image Industries. Have you given any thought into putting up a similar thing for yourself? Paige: Yeah, definitely something for my project. I have to deal with the tour first, so probably when we get back, but maybe I can get something up within a few months. We've got a good designer doing the site, and another friend of mine, Andy Lerma, who is a very cool up-and-coming photographer, is doing these abstract digital photos of me. It's going to be really cool visually...going for the artsy look. Valdyr: Well, that's all the questions I have...is there anything else you'd like to tell the fans? Paige: I haven't talked to fans in two years! I'm excited. I think it's cool we're coming back out. Orgy needed this time off and the separation. We overloaded for awhile. It's like any relationship, and we just needed our time. Everything was going so fast in the beginning, but this time it will be more relaxed and it's going to show on stage. And then of course everyone's solo projects. It's turning into a big family thing; everyone is a part of everyone else's projects. It’s just a big Orgy/D1 family thing. Valdyr: Thanks so much for the interview! P.S. Oh yes, I forgot to put this in the earlier entry..I got a cell phone...woot!..it's the same phone and cover as Cynthia's mom's phone..haha...I'm sorry to all you stalkers out there, but I'm not stupid enough to post my number on here, so just ask and I might give it to you....that sounds a bit perverted..hehe |
