RABID BATS FRONTMAN FLYING SOLO. AFTER THE BREAK-UP OF THE S. BURBS PUNK BAND THE RABID BATS IN SUMMER OF 2007, MAJOR WENT INTO SOUNDLAB STUDIOS TO RECORD THE VOCALS FOR THE BATS LAST SONG "FRANKENFUCKINSTEIN". WHILE AFTER LAYING DOWN THE VOCALS TO COMPLETE THE TRACK FOR THE BATS POSTHUMOUS EP "THE DRACULA CREST", HIS ENGINEER EDDIE HAD SUGGESTED A SOLO PROJECT. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS CONSIDERATION, IT WAS ALL ON.THE LAST COUPLE SONGS ARE CURRENTLY BEING WRITTEN, ARRANGED AND RECORDED FOR A SOLO ALBUM TITLED "DRAC PUNK" WHICH FEATURES COVERS BY THE DAMNED, THE MISFITS, THE RAMONES, THE SEX PISTOLS AND THE CLASH AS WELL AS ORIGINALS THAT WERE WRITTEN WITH AND OUTSIDE OF THE RABID BATS.
THIS SOLO PROJECT HAS ALLOWED THE MAJOR A KIND OF FREEDOM THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE WITH A LIVE GIGING BAND. "THERE'S ALOT OF STUFF TO GET TANGLED UP IN WITH A LIVE BAND THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN A SOLO RECORDING SITUATION. FOR ONE THING, THERE IS ONLY ONE AGENDA..YOURS. YOU HAVE COMPLETE CREATIVE CONTROL AND THE PRESSURE OF DEADLINES AND MAKING SURE PEOPLE ARE WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AT ANY GIVEN TIME IS GONE. IN THE STUDIO, A PLAYER CAN COME IN WHENEVER, LAY DOWN THEIR PART THEN JUST GO. SCHEDULING IS ALOT EASIER TOO. I HAVE TOTAL SAY IN THE MAKING OF THIS RECORD AND I LIKE THAT PART ALOT. I'M JUST GONNA TAKE MY TIME AND MAKE IT PRIMARILY TO PLEASE MYSELF", SAYS MISTAKE.
LATELY, MAJOR HAS BEEN SPLITTING HIS TIME BETWEEN HIS SOLO PROJECT AND ON AND OFF STINTS WITH THE RABID BATS. "FROM TIME TO TIME I GET THE ITCH TO PLAY OUT LIVE AND WHEN I DO, I JUST GET THE BATS BACK TOGETHER. WE RECENTLY DID A SHOW AT SHOOTERS IN STEGER WHICH WAS LOTS OF FUN, BUT AFTERWARDS I REALISED THE NEED FOR A PERSONNEL CHANGE. UPDATE: THE RABID BATS ARE NOW OFFICIALLY BACK IN BUSINESS WITH A NEW GUITARIST AND DRUMMER. AS EVERYBODY WHO KNOWS US KNOWS...MUCH LIKE DRACULA HIMSELF, THE BATS ARE TRULY A BAND THATS IS UNDEAD".
