I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Before you ask, yes, that's my real eye color:) I'm bullheaded -- you can't tell me I'm wrong unless you've got concrete proof to back it up, I don't give a damn. If I want something really bad, I'll keep trying to get it until I've exhausted every imaginable possibility. I'm not happy unless I'm productive. I have to be constantly accomplishing something to be truly happy, and if I'm laying on my ass all day that's a good indicator that I'm depressed about something or SICK. I like panthers, fairies, lab puppies, kitty cats, and blood. I sing random songs that I make up as I go along while doing things around the house. I'm a mad, love sick fool for metal, my husband (he's famous, but don't tell him that. I'm trying desperately to keep that a secret from him.), and my metal husband, who's probably the biggest fan of my writing and helps me get leads on bands I want to write about. I love to cook, and I'm damn good at it. I appreciate all forms of art. I surround myself freethinkers, and intelligence is pretty hot to some degree, but a strange sense of humor is irresistable. I especially can't resist a long-haired, tattooed boy with big eyes. . .if you put all that together, you've got drummer Dyan Killdren, which is probably why I married him (and I'm tired of being asked, so yeah, that's a total stage name) My chosen spiritually comes from Gnosticism, and I don't care that offends you.

My Profile at:
BANDS, PROMOTERS, LABELS, AND OTHER INDUSTRY REPS CAN SEND CDS AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS:
KAMI ROBERTS

Or write to: [email protected]
E-MAIL OR PM TO SCHEDULE AN INTERVIEW DATE (WE WILL DISCUSS THE SETTING, BE IT FACE-TO-FACE, TELEPHONE, OR MIC/CAM/IM) I do content sites sometimes, primarily AC, for a number of reasons. My RSS feed works as a constantly evolving clip file, and includes ONLY my AC articles, and a few things that have nothing to do with metal and I wrote just because. . .it's worth sharing, and I also really like money.
I write articles based on cd reviews, show reviews, and interviews of unsigned to popular hard rock and metal bands. I primarily work with underground projects, indie labels, and unsigned bands that should be signed, and a few better known groups. I will respond immediately to messages, even if I am already bogged down with articles.

I also write unsoliciated articles for other entertainment mags. YAY.

Read my AC articles? Check out some of the bands I wrote about:

I'd like to meet:

Here's a taste of who I'd like to see face to face some day. . . Not necessarilly in this order: God, Marilyn Manson, Trent Reznor, Angela Gossow, Otep Shamaya, Kat Bejelland, Ray Bradbury, Percy Shelley, Hemingway, and a bunch of other dead writers, Anne Rice,Johnny Depp, Sylvia Browne, Stephen King. Cool as hell, every one, for so many different reasons :) The big list is actually longer, but I'm lazy, lol.

Yeah, I know, dream on, right? lol

Please, let's chat:

Musicians, especially other female metal or gothic vocalists
Writers, particularly fiction prose artists, but anyone with a love of words is welcome.

Music:

..metal, gothic, glam, progressive, death metal, black metal, thrash, industrial, some classic. . .if it's metal, more than likely I can dig it . . I'm not listing every group I like -- that would take too long. I'm mostly interested in whatever has a fresh sound, but sometimes I run across something kick ass that's been done to death. In that rare case, I say "Hey, whatever. It sounds good." I'm turned off by anything that doesn't sound like intelligible notes, I am offended by Fred Durst and insulted by ICP, pop music frightens me, and I'm rather on the fence about punk music -- I like metal because I'm just aggressive like that, I need that release. And yeah, I was really heavily into riot grrl rock for a good part of the nineties, and I still like some of it, and I don't give a fuck if that offends you. ..

Movies:

..ones that are bloody or funny. Not much in between unless it's one of those sappy dramas that touch on a subject that I totally relate to -- the sick, insane, or poor trying to make it, a couple that doesn't think they are ever able to have kids, or the struggling writer or musician are pretty much the only serious stuff that can keep my attention. Sounds corny, but hey, I AM a woman, lol. Incidently, I used to collect stuff from the Dark Shadows TV series and movies, and I also had The Bad Seed movie, novel, and play script, but all my stuff got stolen three years ago. ..

Television:

I'm a huge dork when it comes to TV. I watch hockey with my husband, but only if the Penguins are playing. I like family sitcoms, and I don't care if that disturbs you. I used to collect Danger Mouse videos because that cartoon is funny as fuck. Captain Caveman was cool, too. I watch those damn celebreality shows on VH1 -- and yes, I know they're completely fake, but that doesn't make them less funny. I watch the reruns of shit on weekend mornings mostly and sometimes afternoons if I'm not busy (which is rare), and I have digital cable, so On Demand comes in handy (for other stuff besides Karaoke). I do watch Girls Next Door, the Kimora show, the Kardashian's show, and some other shows like that sometimes -- but just on the weekends if I'm really bored. Out of those three I mentioned, I only really keep up with Girls Next Door, and out of those stupid fake dating shows, I actually do keep up with VH1 Rock of Love 2, although I think so far this season is boring compared to last season. There's no Red Menace to piss everyone off, just your usual sluts and crybabies...

Books:

..I like too many books to list. The last one I read (besides stuff for school) was davinci code. I'm now officially hooked on Dan Brown books, so I'm currently working on Angels and Demons. I swear, the guy's got this supergenius thriller formula that I've got to enjoy to analyze!! My head is always in the Writer's Market books, Writer's Digest, Poets & Writers, and cookbooks (I'm a bomb ass cook). Oh yeah. . .and between my husband and I we probably could reach the ceiling with all the music magazines. ..

Heroes:
