"Badass" brings an undoubtably raw sound to the VTG line-up and we love him for it. Ostreicher is currently endorsed by custom drum manufacturers C & C Drum Company.
Hey bud! Just thinking back to the Dismantled show that we played with you, and how fucking cool it was to hang with you. Hope to do a show with you again in the future.
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME! AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE PUT YOU ON MY TOP FRIENDS BECAUSE I THINK YOU ARE CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST INDUSTRIAL ACTS ON MYSPACE! I HOPE YOU GET A CHANCE TO LISTEN TO MY REMAKE OF NIN NON ENTITY, I DID NOT USE THE TOOLS GIVEN TO FANS ON NIN.COM TO REMIX IT, THIS SONG IS ALL ME AND MY INSTRUMENTATION. I WOULD BE HONORED IF YOU COMMENTED! KEEP MAKING GREAT MUSIC LIKE "I LIKE PRETTY", ITS MY FAVORITE!
I LIKE PRETTY IS A HOOKY SONG! THOUGH I DISAGREE WITH Keith Elcombe FROM (Hardwired) IT SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE NINE INCH NAILS! YOU DO LOOK LIKE TRENT IN THE VIDEO! ESPECIALLY THE PART WHERE YOU ARE HANGING FROM THE RESTRAINTS, YOU LOOK JUST LIKE TRENT HANGING FROM HIS RESTRAINTS IN THE VIDEO "CLOSER" THE SPITING IMAGE OF HIM. YOU ALSO LOOK A LOT LIKE A YOUNG "IGGY POP" WHEN YOUR DANCING AROUND PULLING ON YOUR SHIRT AND STUFF. THE HUMMING AT THE BEGINNING AND SOME OF YOUR ANNUNCIATIONS REMINDS ME OF MARILYN MANSON SINGING STYLES, AND YOUR AWESOME CHORUS REMINDS ME OF A "STABBING WESTWARD",KIND OF STYLE. ANYHOW YOUR ARE TRULY ONE OF THE LEADING NEW FORCES IN INDUSTRIAL MUSIC TO BE RECON WITH! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Can't wait to see you all! We are going acoustic! It sounds amazing in rehearsal. Broken foot or not the show must go on for Lurid Bliss! Yay! See you on the 13th! Xoxoxox, Kiki
