Author Darkfaery Exclusive: Rough Hausen Interview
by TristaLou
So where was I the night of January 29th? I was at the Rough Hausen show in Tulsa at the Eclipse!!! I got to interview some members of the 
band and see a kick ass show as well. So grace your eye’s with one of the strangest and weirdest interviews I have ever done. I myself can not even figure out what was their true answers to my questions so I will let you the reader decide……
Denni- Listen I can do this interview in 30 seconds, ok. Don’t believe a word that any of us say, we will say anything for alcohol, we will do anything for alcohol, and uh… did I miss anything??
Jeff- You described us as a whore, quite aptly as a whore so ya, your all right.
Denni- Ya
Jeff- That’s Denni by the way. EG. He has done work on every Rough Hausen since Agony of the Beat. He’s done something. He’s either written songs with me, done production.
Trista- So you have been involved for quite some time.
Denni- Ya I guess so. Like 30, 40 years, I think.
Jeff- Ya he knew my mom really well.
Denni- Ya, ya, well everybody does.
Trista- Wow I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
Denni- Oh well it’s a good thing. (as he proceeds to make the sounds of a bed moving)
Trista- How’s the tour going?
Jeff- Lots of driving, Lots of Stupidity. Good, Bad, Ugly, Great.
Denni- We’re writing down quotes.Our favorite quote for every state.
Jeff- Ya.
Denni- Tell me you wouldn’t like to see this on a t-shirt? This is Texas.
Jeff- “Dude, quit fucking my pumpkin.”
Denni- Can you ever imagine a situation in your life that you would have to say that phrase?
Jeff- There’s a long story to it, and it is awesome.
TristaLou- I’m thinking a horror house.
Denni- No, no, no.
Jeff- Noooo….It was a show. But every state we’ve got a quote like that, where someone has said or done something so outrageously stupid that I had to write it down. But think of the shirt..”Dude, quit fucking my pumpkin.”
Denni- and then Rough Hausen 2011 US Tour.
TristaLou- That would be an interesting shirt. I’d get it for my husband. But I don’t think I’d wear it myself. I tend to not cuss so much.
Jeff- But would you stand beside him when he was wearing it?
TristaLou- Okay maybe not.
Jeff- Well that part (of the tour) has been fun. Collecting the quotes.
Denni- Oh ya. No we have had a lot of fun. For real.99% of the people that we have ran into have been really cool. Midwestern people are laid back and nice. In most cases.
Jeff- We’ve had two outrageous assholes out of the hundred and twenty we have met. That’s a pretty good ratio.
Denni- Ya. If it was the East Coast it would be different. Everybody is an asshole on the East Coast.
Jeff- Your from the East Coast.
Denni- Shh
Jeff- LA wasn’t that much fun.
TristaLou- Why, what happened there?
Jeff- No great details just cause that’s not nice. But LA was not much fun.
TristaLou- But we like dirt.
Jeff- I like dirt too, but I just don’t like to be the purveyor of dirt. I like to be the consumer of dirt.
TristaLou- Oh okay.
Denni- We were all graduates of Emily Post. We know our etiquette. There hasn’t been a truck stop that we have stopped in that we didn’t say Please or Thank You. We go to church on Sundays.
TristaLou– You do not.
Denni- As a matter of fact we went to a chapel right above he men’s room at one stop.
Jeff- And the quote for that was…. Naw I’m not going to.
Denni- oh ya it’s a little dirty. What’s the age group of your readers here?
TristaLou- Um it actually ranges quite a bit.
Denni- Here is proof, absolute proof (that we have been to the chapel above the men’s room). ( He then shows me a picture of Jeff standing in front of a picture of Jesus in the chapel. You can find this picture on the facebook in their tagged photos)
Jeff- The waitress was awesome there.Every single person in that restaurant above 40 was looking at us with seriously disapproving eyes, but the waitress was awesome. I sat on their Jesus and I did my little (makes a clicking noise with his tongue), they didn’t like that. Apparently they didn’t have a sense of humor.
Denni- That was the place with the nastiest bathrooms. You walk into the men’s and women’s bathroom and awaiting you is
some beautiful graffiti.
Jeff- Modern day poetry.
Denni- Which we have been collecting as well.
TristaLou- So what has been your favorite part of the tour besides collecting the quotes?
Jeff- Scottsdale, Arizona we played a show and the first words out of my mouth the audience stood up and moved back twenty feet.
Denni- No, You got to back up. We didn’t play a show. We crashed an open mic night. We bombed the open mic night. We walked in there. Hey how you doin?
Jeff- All smiles. Cute little Asian bass player.
Denni- We wait our turn.
Jeff- The first fucken words out of my mouth they stood up and moved back.
Denni- Tables go back (makes the sound of tables being moved back). It was great.
TristaLou- So what were the first words?
Jeff- I’ve got a black skin suit.
Denni- See nothing offensive.
Jeff- But I believe it was the volume of the first words out of my mouth.
Denni- And the vocal effects..
Jeff- But they were really polite afterwards. They were “gah that was good”.
Denni- See the act before us was a very classy traditional blues bassed guitar duo. You know Eric Clapton meets, Jeff Beck, meets Jimi Hendrex.. So everyone was doing their own free bird thing and all of that.
Jeff- And then I stepped up and that was funny. I enjoyed that.
TristaLou- I bet you did. So what are some of your other stops for the tour?
Jeff- We have another one in Colorado and one in Utah, and two in California, and then we are done. this is sorta the tail end of the tour.
We are going home soon. It’s been almost a month for me. So I am ready to go home. I’m ready to go home and see my wife and kiss my dogs.
Denni- In that order.
Jeff- Well my dogs are pretty hot.
Denni- Ya I know. I’ve seen em dude.
TristaLou- What made you contact Darkfaery for this interview?
Jeff- It was actually facebook, me starting to post about the tour and then someone said if you are going near this place you need to contact these people, and I believe the exact words they said was, “These people are fucking cool”.
TristaLou- I don’t believe that.
Denni- Really?
TristaLou- No, but that is really cool.
Jeff- So I sent out the email and the email I got back was concise and professional and they knew the scene, and I had to follow up on that.
Denni- Now are you sure you didn’t find that on a truck stop lavatory?
Jeff- Pretty Sure.
TristaLou- So what are some other bands that you would like to tour with?
Jeff- NSYNC, Backstreet, I’d really like to do some work with Bieber.
Denni- We’re shooten for the stars here. I mean you gotta think big, you gotta hope.
Jeff- What’s that girl that sang that song that I like so much?
Denni- Whitney Houston?
Jeff- Ya that one.
Jeff- Thrill Kill, I think would be great to tour with. KMFDM would be amazing. Uncle Al would be awesome.
Denni- Ya Uncle Al would be awesome.
Jeff– Kenny and Download would be an awesome tour.
Denni- Yes that would be cool. What about Ogre?
Jeff- Fuck ya! Of course I’d like to tour with Kevin. I would happily roll around in his bloody mess.
Denni- We saw that Kenny Rogers was touring again. We’d like to open for Kenny. It’s the Face Lift Tour.
Jeff- Kenny Fucken Rogers, Mr. Crazy Face Plastic Surgery. It’s a freak show.
Denni- (singing) “You got to know when to fold’em”
Jeff– Ah Dude…
After a little more banter the opening band was starting (or so we thought) so we ended the interview there. So there ya go. I hope that you all enjoy reading this very random interview. Oh and just for the record. The picture taken during this interview that is on facebook I am not disgusted… I was just appalled at the current topic of Asian tattoos and how they are so wrong usually. Apparently you can get something you think says flowers and actually it could say whore. I would have to say this was the most entertaining interview by far, but not good for me since I am such a gullible person and fall for anything, but thanks to the band anyways for the interview, and I advise anyone to go see the band preform when they come to your town. You will not be disappointed.

By Duvall “Duvy” Gilchrist-Montgomery This is a very passionate rock album. Normally, I have to listen to an album quiet a few times before I love it, but this one caught me with the very first track. I don’t really like to compare artists, but Red mixes my favorite things about Linkin Park and Breaking Benjamin into one sound. My favorite Track so far is 06 – Confession (What’s Inside My Head), it’s a summary of what’s inside MY head and if I needed a representation to explain to you where I am I would put this song on a mix CD in the top slot. I find it funny that they covered Ordinary World by Duran Duran and worried too because it means time is slipping by fast enough that that song is coverable. Seems like just yesterday it was a comeback song, now it’s a covered song. All in all I plan to go out and buy the deluxe version of this album just as soon as I can. That’s saying something coming from me, you guys know I don’t buy CDs unless it’s worth the money. 
Track Listing: 01 – Fight Inside 04:08 02 – Death Of Me 04:17 03 – Mystery Of You 03:46 04 – Start Again 04:26 05 – Never Be The Same 03:46 06 – Confession (What’s Inside My Head) 02:44 07 – Shadows 03:21 08 – Ordinary World 04:56 09 – Out From Under 03:58 10 – Take It All Away 05:39 41:01 min Release Notes: http://www.redmusiconline.com/ Still riding the momentum of its huge-selling Grammy-nominated debut album End of Silence, Red returns with Innocence & Instinct, a provocative new album forged in a perfect storm of inspiration and catastrophe. From the literary spark of Dante’s Inferno to the bloody aftermath of a 75-mph highway crash, Red absorbed a flood of ideas and emotions that empowered the band to create next generation rock songs. Finding the sonic sweet spot where epic and primal converge, Innocence & Instinct features animated dynamics that super-charge its innocence vs. instinct theme. “Innocence & Instinct is about the duality of man,” explains guitarist Jasen Rauch. “The album examines the fight between our childlike innocence and the instinctive side that makes us do things we shouldn’t.” The group’s debut, which sold over a quarter-million copies and earned several awards and nominations, focused heavily on personal struggles. Bringing back Silence producer Rob Graves and mixer Ben Grosse (Sevendust, Disturbed, Depeche Mode), Innocence & Instinct goes a giant step further by tackling the fight itself. It’s about the dueling impulses that wage war within our souls. In writing the album, Red found Inferno to be an illuminating guide. The literary classic, which starts with Dante and Virgil standing before the Gates of Hell, illustrated ways in which the band might tackle deep issues in a more poetic way. And if Dante enhanced the storytelling, a highway crash in late ’07 accelerated the band’s emotional core. As the tour van smashed into a guardrail and violently slid sideways across the highway, the band experienced new heights of horror that they channeled into Innocence & Instinct. “It brought an intensity and depth that we couldn’t reach without going through this experience,” Rauch reflects. “In the months after the accident, it felt like everything was in overdrive.” “In a split second, it changed our lives,” adds six-stringer Anthony Armstrong, whose twin brother Randy handles the band’s basslines. Setting the tone early, “Fight Inside” rides beautiful piano keys to an unforgettable chorus as glaring agitation builds to a savage finish. The song epitomizes the album’s effortless transitions between simmering angst, melodic hooks and pretty major-key resolves, while its inner-monologue sets up the lyrical theme by cursing the frail duality of innocence and instinct. “Death of Me” furthers the first-person schizophrenia as vocalist Michael Barnes cries “You tear me down and then you pick me up” against a backdrop of deafening guitars, sweeping symphonics and nerve-rattling screams. “Shadows,” co-written by Ben Burnley of Breaking Benjamin, pushes against the darkness while “Out From Under” could be called Fight Club with guitars. “There are moments that switch between never feeling so close to someone to never feeling so abandoned, but that’s part of the human experience,” says Rauch. “These extreme feelings, these paradoxes, coexist all the time.” While several songs veer toward an internal apocalypse, “Never Be the Same” personifies Innocence with optimistic reflections poured out over lush fields of electric and acoustic guitars. The piano-powered “Start Again” addresses the conflicted remorse of a failed relationship, while “Mystery of You” ponders the inexplicable over industrial-strength loops and keys. Innocence & Instinct even features a juiced-up cover of Duran Duran’s utopian “Ordinary World.” Formed in Nashville, Tennessee over four years ago, Red made an immediate impact with its 2006 debut, End of Silence. The Grammy-nominated disc, featuring the radio hits “Breathe Into Me” (Top 10, Active Rock) and “Already Over” (Top 15, Active Rock), introduced the sonic layering, rich orchestration and visceral dynamics that became Red’s signature sound. The album steadily built momentum cracking the Billboard 200 a year after its release as sales steadily broke out to hundreds of thousands of copies sold. Not surprisingly, the album became a hit with other bands as well, leading to tours and shows with Papa Roach, Sevendust, Three Days Grace, Flyleaf, Buckcherry and Seether, among others. These opportunities contributed to the band’s impressive 500+ live show schedule between albums. Heading into Innocence & Instinct, Red had no shortage of creative sparks. A near-death accident ignited their emotions, a literary masterpiece spurred their creativity, peer support lifted their spirits, heavy touring empowered their performances and fans challenged the group to do even more to impact their lives. These experiences infused Innocence & Instinct with layered narratives, heightened sensibilities and an artistic boldness that dramatically raises the bar for new millennial rock ‘n’ roll. In Dante’s Inferno, the Gates of Hell read, “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” But when the Gates finally face Innocence & Instinct, Hell won’t know what hit it.
