Suburban Vampire Interview and Contest: Kung Fu Vampire

M. Widow — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 07:30:50 +0000

For today’s Music Monday, I’m chatting with Gothic Hip Hop artist Kung Fu Vampire, who’s giving away ten autographed CDs to Suburban Vampire visitors. Details about the contest, as well as a video for his song “iCount,” follow the interview.

SUBURBAN VAMPIRE: Welcome to the Burbs. Tell us about your musical style, which has been called everything from rap to Gothic Hip Hop to Horrorcore. How would you describe Horrorcore?

KUNG FU VAMPIRE: I call it Gothic Hip Hop and coined the genre as well as Goth Hop, but really it was something I had made up that really described our sound, and then Horrorcore fans and artists started showing a lot of interest in me, so I assume most people consider Kung Fu Vampire to be innovative Horrorcore. Horrorcore is really just a horror movie on record often mixed with rap and some elements of metal. In my case it is straight up lyrical underground hip hop with some orchestral and operatic influence, as well as the live instrumentation.

SV: Who are your musical influences?

KUNG FU VAMPIRE: Talking Heads, The Doors, Front 242, Ice Cube and NWA, Run DMC, Ministry, Metallica, Anthrax, Testament, and a lot of ambient artists, such as Aphex Twin and Future Sounds of London.

SV: You’re from San Jose, California, which is typically associated with Silicon Valley’s high-tech world. What is the music scene like in that area?

KUNG FU VAMPIRE: It’s a very small scene with a really closed mind, lots of talented groups with nowhere to go or “work” persay. There is some rock clubs and 90% booty-shaking steroid-infested Silicon Valley wannabes and hipsters…which all contribute to why Kung Fu Vampire took until 2009 to be heard throughout the globe.

SV: What sparked your interest in vampires and the Goth look?

KUNG FU VAMPIRE: To put it simply, it was me everyday from birth to present. Was suspended from school in kindergarten for biting someone’s neck and then again in 2nd grade for biting their face. Sleep during the day, go out in the middle of the night. I am attracted to evil things. Maybe it’s a balance, because I’m a really nice guy–hmmmm, ya neva know (insert NY Jewish female accent).

SV: What are your live shows like?

KUNG FU VAMPIRE: They are always a bit different. The band consists of violin, cello, keyboards, drums, bass, opera singer, and KFV rapping as fast as the best of them. We often incorporate some form of dance, be it breakin’ or belly.

SV: Do you have any Halloween performances coming up?

KUNG FU VAMPIRE: Oct 26th at The Kress in Hollywood. Oct 29th at The Fat Cat in Modesto, CA.

SV: What’s up next for you album-wise?

KUNG FU VAMPIRE: I have three projects brewing. 1. A behind-the-scenes tour DVD. 2. A project with DJ Wicked (Grayskul and Potluck), which is all of my guest appearances on other people’s projects remixed and sliced up to make a mix tape of sorts. 3. Love Bites, a full-length album that focuses on all types of love….gained and lost in my life in the last few years.

SV: Any parting words for vampire fans?

KUNG FU VAMPIRE: My fans are Fangsters and got my back to the fullest, what we do is Neckwork and we are Doin’ Big Fangs in 2010-2011…and as for you Suburban Vampires, you would be a lot cooler in a coffin.

Respect, Loyalty, integrity.
Kung Fu Vampire

Mishka Bloglin – Slaughterhouses, Vampires, and Juggalo Killers… Oh My!

M. Widow — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 11:43:59 +0000

What’s good mishkalos, juggalos, juggahaters, and everything in between? ‘Tis I Kev Buc, coming at you with some interesting tid bits for your tits from this past week concerning all things in the realm of horrorcore and juggalos.

First up is a quick review of the demented duo themselves Twiztid’s Slaughterhouse Tour which kicked off February 18th in Buffalo, New York. I hit up two dates on this tour including one the following week in Clifton Park, New York. I felt this tour was one of the best stage shows I’ve seen them put on ever. I myself have seen Twiztid in concert dozens and dozens of times, dating back to when they first formed and were part of the Juggalo Funhouse Tour with ICP back in 1998. They had a lot of energy, a good stage set, and a really good variety of classics both old and new. The show opened with an up and coming rapper from the Bay Area, California known as Kung Fu Vampire. KFV has never worked with Psychopathic Records before, but was well received at the shows I attended. His sound is pretty unique and he has a full band. Read more at Mishka Bloglin…

Ninja vs. Vampire?

M. Widow — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:00:08 +0000

Where to begin? More than a novelty band, but likewise not married to the conventions of either goth or hip-hop, Kung Fu Vampire mixes a savage sound and a stark sense of whimsy into something that is very much itself. Take, for example, the song “Vampire,” where a rapper launches into an explosion of hard-laced rhyme while a keyboardist evokes the feel of a gothic organ while an operatic female vocalist fills a bridge with something out of a B-movie fright fest. And it all works. It really shouldn’t, but it does.

FANGORIA MUSICK EXCLUSIVE: KUNG FU VAMPIRE talks DEAD SEXY

FANGORIA MUSICK EXCLUSIVE:
KUNG FU VAMPIRE talks DEAD SEXY.

It’s rare that I’ll rave over the “next big thing” when it comes to this resilient music industry. But I won’t hold back genuine feelings, and there’s a little piece of me that believes I may have discovered a true phenom in the making. KUNG FU VAMPIRE, who’s name may raise an eyebrow or two will raise much more than that (and I don’t mean that in an erotic way) once you’ve given a thorough examination of the man’s music.
