Metal Sludge.com recently sat down with MURDERDOLLS frontman Wednesday 13 to pick his brain. The following is a brief excerpt from the chat session:

Metal Sludge: Pre-Murderdolls you were doing FRANKENSTEIN DRAG QUEENS FROM PLANET 13. So essentially this whole image, sound and lifestyle is not something new or even kind of new for you, yet rather your history? Tell about the history of you...

Wednesday 13: "Pull up a chair, this could take a while. In 1993, 17 year old me started a band called MANIAC SPIDER TRASH, a glam metal shock rock band. That band existed up until 1996 when it broke a part and basically turned into Frankenstein Drag Queens. FDQ released our first record on our own in 1996 and released three more albums and numerous 7" singles between 96-2002. We released all of the albums independently and then got a Euro record deal that got our stuff all over Europe. We terrorized every red neck dump within our reach for years and went through a number of different members and looks.

The Murderdolls thing came into play right before we released our last FDQ album in 2001. A guy named Dizzy Reject (who is quite possibly more knowledged on hair bands than me) from a band in Des Moines called THE REJECTS had copies of the albums and was a fan, who then turned his guitarist Joey Jordison (SLIPKNOT) on to FDQ. I got a call from the guys and they asked me to join the Rejects as a bass player. I was excited about being considered, not exactly excited about being a bassist but excited in the fact that a new door opened for me. I came on board and did two shows with The Rejects at the end of 2001 on bass and then Joey went on tour with Slipknot for a few months. He came back home and offered me the lead singer position in The Rejects. As much of a dick as I felt about replacing Dizzy, a guy who basically introduced me to the whole thing, I just couldn't say no. Dizzy and I are friends now and he was unbelievably cool about the whole situation, and I really owe that guy. The Murderdolls came out and I just disbanded FDQ and jumped into the whole thing face first. Murderdolls toured for a year and then went on hiatus, and the rest of the story can be read one question above this one. That's the short story version anyway."

Metal Sludge: You're hitting the west coast and playing Halloween night in support of Alice Cooper. Is this your biggest dream, oops, we mean nightmare come true? How did these dates come about, and how do you feel about this only being a week away?

Wednesday 13: "I'm beyond words and I can't wait. Also, it being Halloween week just makes it even better. It's like getting to ride on Santa Claus' sleigh on Christmas. I've been poking my head around the Alice camp for a while now. I met him with Murderdolls in 2003, and then I was a guest on his radio show earlier this year. I've been trying to organize some dates with him for a while now, but it just never worked out at the time. I went to see him in Atlanta this past August and met him again, I mentioned again to him and his manager about doing some shows in the future. Two weeks later they called and asked for us. I was shocked but completely honored. This could be the coolest thing to happen for me personally so far."
