After the release of A
Perfect Circle’s debut album, Mer de Noms, everything
just snowballed from thereon, to the point where it became one of
the most popular acts of its time. As a founding member, did you
ever expect A Perfect Circle to reach the level of success it did?
It was the most exciting experience that completely changed
my life! You can never expect anything but when we played together
there was no question in my mind that it was huge.
I read that you did work on the Miami Vice
production with director Michael Mann. Tell us about your experience.
I am a big fan of Michael Mann, so it was an honor to work
with him. He heard my solo work (SONGS FOR LUCI) and asked me to
play on a couple of scenes.

How long have you been hosting for M-TV Denmark for, and
what do you love the most about it?
Well I’ve been the host for Headbangers ball for about 6 months
now, and we’re about to launch a new show, that will be strictly
ROCK. All kinds: new, old, punk, alternative, and everything in-between.
I’m very exited about that. What I love most about it is that
I get to be my own boss, write my own stuff, do my own playlists
(means that I’m the boss of whatever gets played on my shows)
and write my own interviews. Plus I don't have to do interviews
with people I don't want to.

Up until very recently, very little South Africans even knew who
The Dudesons were, had their names been mentioned
during some random chit-chat, or whatever. ‘The Dudesons?’
you might be asking yourself right about now. I know…it’s
tragic really. Not even knowing who The Dudesons
really are. I used to be one of them. But don’t worry. I’m
here to fix everything.
I managed to get a hold of The Dudesons
and was pretty stoked when Jarppi agreed to answer
some of my questions! Pretty damn awesome! The rest of group consists
of Jarno, Jukka, HP and Britney - their pet pig.
If you still have absolutely no idea who I’m
talking about, then let me break it down for you: The Dudesons
are a group of performance artists/stuntmen hailing
from Finland, and if you don’t know where
Finland is, then go check it out in an atlas. It is way up north
and I hear it is pretty cold up there!

As she disappears into the choking fog, a dark figure appears in
her view, from the Bucks Row’s side. She approaches the man
and offers her services by “displaying the merchandise”.
She walks right up to the man and tries to seduce him, as best she
can, fighting to maintain her composure. She touches the man on
the shoulder, but the man only looks at her from under the brim
of his hat, seemingly uninterested. But Polly is a desperate lady.
She moves in even closer, pushing herself up against him. She again
offers herself to the dark stranger…this time he accepts.
“…The whole of the surface of the
abdomen and thighs was removed and the abdominal cavity emptied
of its viscera. The breasts were cut off, the arms mutilated by
several jagged wounds and the face hacked beyond recognition of
the features. The tissues of the neck were severed all round down
to the bone…”

411 on MazeWorldWide.com
If it’s your first time here in the
Maze - welcome! And if you’ve been
here before - what do you think? Yes, as promised, a brand
new look, MazeRadio
and some of the hottest new metal outfits South Africa has
to offer!
“So…what
the fuck’s up with this site?”
Well, MazeWorldWide.com
was born in the Summer of 2003 when we realised that metal
was seriously being neglected on our local music scene. We
got sick of listening to the same old shit on the radio every
single day! What concerned us even more was the fact that
metal bands (good metal bands) seemingly had to be satisfied
with leftovers all these years…
Sure the music industry is based on sales,
we understand that, but why toss away an opportunity?
We created MazeWorldWide.com
as a fan-site for S.A. metal, but soon realised our true calling.
Yes, we know the name might sound a bit extreme, but it’s
all about thinking outside the box! Hell, we want to tear
that fucker apart! We want to go out there and give a “face”
back to the S.A. metal scene. We still create Band
Portfolios for anyone interested
and are now also giving you guys a chance to be heard with
MazeRadio!
Bands within the Port Elizabeth area are
more than welcome to arrange personal meetings with us. Visit
our contact us
page for further information.
And the rest is self-explanatory.
