INTERVIEW: Wolfman Chuck & The Spookalele of Doom!

Wolfman Chuck and the Spookalele of Doom make horror/gore-inspired ukulele songs. TBW writer Demetrius, loaded with silver bullets, hunted down the Wolfman himself to ask a few questions about what drives this monster!

Demetrius: Alright, so for your project Wolfman Chuck And the Spookalele of Doom- What was the thing that made you say "I'm doing this right-fucking-now"?

WOLFMAN: Wanting to get back out there on stage and showing other the wonders of the Spookalele. I have been in a lot of bands, but they always fell apart...my ego I guess. Some say a Danzig complex - I say - fuck you! Also, I don't have to show others how to play what I write - less aggravation!

D: I guess that's a pretty helpful perk eh? Collaborating with hardheaded people sucks ass, I think everyone who has tried starting a band knows that feeling.

D: Whose music do you feel you incorporate when you write? Say artists like Cancerslug, Doosh Bucket, Danzig... The sound you produce - Who would you like to thank for that?

WOLFMAN: Lyrically I would say GG, Cancerslug, Doosh Bucket, Necrophagia, Misfits. Really hard to say. I mean I listen to those bands so obviously they are an influence. Comics and Movies also. I usually get this idea in my head and go with it to the extreme, it happens naturally. Musically/instrumentally I am just throwing chords together that I like the sound of. Shit I play a uke my sound will be MY sound.

D: Good answer!

D: You know of Cancerslug of course and how the slug cult is like a second family. Where do you want Wolfman to be in the next couple of years with his fans? And do you want that kind of dedication from your fans?

WOLFMAN: I want to still be making music. Others like my music then that's great, we then have a bond and a reason to shoot the shit together. If you don't like what I do - I really don't give a shit. You're probably just a tool anyways. When it all comes down to it, I make my tunes for me.

D: To all the people that complain about the quality of the music (audio or video files). does that make you more reluctant to record a studio album or does that give you more of a reason to record a studio album?

WOLFMAN: Personally I would like to record with studio sound. Always wondered what it would sound like. But I'm fucking broke. As of now I record with a rock-band microphone I found in the trash and the program Audacity that was free online. The sound I am making as of now is fine with me though!

D: Fucking right Wolfman! Well thank you for taking the time out of your day to speak with me and I, as well of the rest of us, look forward to some new tunes!

WOLFMAN: No problem bro and remember- it's all about the love songs!
