DAVE KUSHNER TALKS MORE ABOUT @PUSHERJONES IN NEW INTERVIEW WITH ‘ICON vs ICON’

It seems like every other week we get a new story on PUSHERJONES the new project featuring Dave Kushner, Franky Perez, Scott Shriner, Dave Warren, and Joey Castillo collaborating on an animated TV pilot with an EP release being worked on as well.

Velvet Revolver guitarist and mastermind behind the new animated band PUSHERJONES, Dave Kushner was recently interviewed by Jason Price of Icon vs Icon. In the interview Dave gives a bit of a hint on what the band members are thinking in terms of debuting PUSHERJONES in front of a live audience.

Dave Kushner: I’d like to but it is a matter of not what is the best way but what is the coolest way. For example, I saw DETHKLOK on tour, you know, the “Metalocalypse” band?

Icon Vs. Icon: Oh yeah, sure.

Dave Kushner: I actually went with Scott, our bass player. It was like a year ago at The Palladium. They had an interesting way of how they did it between having video on a big screen and having the band play in front but the band was kinda in the dark but you could still see them. Nowadays with technology there is so much you can do. In Japan, they are doing a lot of cool things with holograms live. Obviously, everyone has been talking about the Tupac thing but before that we had seen this more animated looking style in Japan. People are going to these sold out shows of this animated character, a girl singer. So we are just trying to figure out the coolest way to do it because that is where I come from. All of us are guys who have played in bands and there are certain things you enjoy about that but, then again, can you pull everyone together at the same time? If you can’t, then you figure out a way to present this thing live so that it is really cool and it gives people maybe a lot of what they are not expecting.

Ok, can the tour start now? Cuz I need to see this!
