Me and the Devil. Combine Gil, downtempo/dubstep, skeletons and skateboards= DOPE!
New album I’m New Here coming Feb.9 . GSH’s first record in over 15 years.
And what is the word on Gaslamp Killer?
BLOW ME AWAY! His Megamix here is badassed! Also check the tracks at his MySpace site. Shit is DEEP!
Interviewed over here at BLEEP the Killer really slays me:
Where did the name “The Motherfucking Gaslamp Killer” come from?
i remember one of the first gigs i had in the gaslamp district, when the hottest girl in the whole club approached me and told me that i was ruining her night. whats new. reminds me of high school, minus the tiny paycheck i got at the end

What has made you take this direction with your music, and what inspires you?
i learned the ways of the world by banging my fucking head against a brick wall every day
and this:
If you could make your ideal music group of musicians, producers, singers, MCs, etc, etc (dead or alive) – who would it be?
Jimi Hendrix / Erkin Koray / Bernard Purdie / Malcolm Catto / Herbie Hancock / Lonnie Liston Smith / Les Claypool / Thunder Cat / Gonja Sufi / Beth Gibbons / Miguel Atwood Fergason / L. Subramniam / Todd Simon / Pharoah Sanders / Dorthy Ashby / Richard Wright / & ME!
The man is my new hero (oh and Tom Ford too!)
