THE LORDS HAVE COME BACK TO BALTIMORE. PRAISE THE LORDS…FUCK THE REST

Lords of Acid came into Baltimore during their Pretty in Kink tour, named after the latest album. Lords brought with them Gabriel and The Apocalypse, Little Miss Nasty, GeniTorturers and Orgy, so you know it’s going to be a good time and lots of dirty filthy naughty things will happen.

Empire Extreme got to sit down with the newest member singer Marieke Bresseleers about the tour, and making the album.

EE: How’s the tour going so far?

MB: Its been a blast and amazing. We played some awesome crowds, the support acts are killing it and it’s been a party. It’s also been hard work, we just had a day off after 13 days in a row.

EE: How was it like recording the Pretty In Kink album?

MB: it was interesting, all the material was already there, Praga did lead vocals on the demo for a reference. Then we worked on how we wanted my voice to sound.

EE: What’s been your favorite song on the album?

MB: I really love Flow Juice, Break Me and Before the Night is Over.

EE: How’s the fan response so far for the album?

MB: I am overwhelmed by the positive and sweet reactions that I get. Everyone is very welcoming. The fans put a lot of effort into this album and we wanted to put out something that was really good.

EE: Were you a Lords of Acid fan before you joined?

MB: To be honest I wasn’t really familiar with them, Lords of Acid in Europe is not a big thing like it is here in the US. Me as a Belgian girl never got in touch with Lords of Acid, Praga I did, but lords was new to me. I really love the music, this scene is just not that big in Belgium.

EE: Going back and listening to the catalog of Lords songs, was there one that you liked the most?

MB: I loved the Farstucker album , it was much heavier songs like Scrood Bi U, but I also loved on the voodoo u album songs like Mr Machoman, I really hope I get to do some of those ones.

EE: Any crazy tour stories that you can share with us from the tour so far?

MB: We have met so many unique people, I find the tiniest things crazy because I’m here in America like getting a $5 Bloody Mary(laughs) We had a couple that did Pony Play on stage, she was dressed as a horse and he was the trainer. They bring the craziest stuff to the bus like Midget BlowUp Dolls.

EE: I seen that you did a movie called A Quiet Passion with Emma Bell, how was working on that?

MB: It was a great experience, it was something completely different for me, I had to play an Operatic Singer. It was a good production and with Cynthia Nixon. It was overwhelming and one of the first big things that I’ve done.

EE: Have you thought about doing more acting?

MB: I would, I studied musical theater. I found my strength was singing in bands with heavier music. I would love to be in a theater play.

EE: How did you get hooked up with Praga?

MB: It was very random, I got a message on Facebook, they saw me on Facebook and was looking for someone like me, and looked me up on the internet and seen that I had theatrical background, just not a singer because with Lords you have to play a part and be in a role as the Acid Queen.

EE: If could be on a dream tour, who would u want to be with?

MB: I would love to tour with White Zombie/Rob or Marilyn Manson. That would be awesome.

EE: If you could bring back one dead musician, who would it be?

MB: Janis Joplin. When it comes to rock singing, performing and being the music, she’s my idol.

The whole show was amazing, like Marieke said each act that performed was on point and was just a good night for live music and sexiness all over. Marieke is a great ball of energy running around the venue during the sets and hanging out with all the fans, Gen from GeniTorturers said that Marieke is a firecracker and spends more time on her bus then anyone else. It was such a great time to see old friends and meet new ones. Being able to hang out with Bassist Dietrich Thrall and Guitarist Sin again great. Praga is such a great guy and amazing musician and his wife Inja were both so kind to everyone. The fans were the lucky ones on this tour, every band hung out after the sets, getting to meet everyone that wanted to. Jay from Orgy was all over, and the merch guy for Gabriel and the Apocalypse in his white tutu was a ball of energy. The girls of Little Miss Nasty were amazing as well, you can’t go wrong when you combine heavy metal and gorgeous women on stage wearing next to nothing.

I can’t wait to get to see each and everyone on this tour again, it was a great night for fun and for music. In a world of chaos and sadness, it’s a night like this that makes it all worth it.
