Hi Bam, thank you for your kindness first of all. What projects you’re involved in right now?
My pleasure, Moreno! Right now I just had a shower and I made lunch and killed all the ants in the kitchen! Ha ha ha.
Okay, really.. I’ve just finished directing and editing a video for American Heartbreak. Maybe you know them? Billy Rowe – ex-Jetboy from San Francisco. That was a lot of fun. Along with that sort of thing, I produce Rock n Roll TV with Share. (my wife)

What’s Rock n Roll TV?
Rock n Roll TV is an internet TV show which showcases underground bands, pop culture and the arts that survive beneath the radar of mainstream crap media.

What’s your favorite episode and why?
My favorite episode is always the next one! People email us and tell us their addicted to watching Rock n Roll TV on their computers and iPods and I guess we’re addicted to making it! We love going out there and discovering independent talent that gets ignored.

“Our” Belladonna are also starring in your episodes, as well as many other breakthrough bands. Tell me something about the underground scene in California. Is there any good band to recommend to the SLAM! readers?
Yes, Belladonna contacted us on myspace (myspace.com/rocknrolltv) and then sent us their very well-produced video. The underground scene here is always exploding with new bands… The Red Hearts are quite good along with The Start. Of course, every band we feature is recommended for your readers to check out!

You’re also working as a director in your brand new “Bam13 Films”. You also have the Blessing’s video. How do you work on the musical video what kind of software do you use?
I’ve been making videos for twenty years! I started life as aphotographer, taught by my father. These days I do everything on a computer using a G4 and Final Cut Pro along with After Effects 6.5, Particle Illusion and of course, Photoshop and Illustrator for the videos. For the sound, I use Logic, Soundtrack Pro and Pro Tools.

You’ve also worked on graphics and pictures in the Blessings’ album. How did you start working together?
Jeremy approached me a few years ago with regards to making a video. Then we ended up producing half of his new album here at our studio, Bubbleland. Jeremy is such a cool guy amidst the posers in Hollywood that it was a natural progression for me to do his artwork and photos etc.

Looking back to the past and your old bands, what’s the video you’re more proud and the one you’re more ashamed of?
I’m ashamed of all of them. I’m always striving to create something more unique than the last effort. That’s why I keep making them!

You starred in the soundtrack of 'While I'm Dead... Feed The Dog', produced by Ric Browde. What was it about?
Hey, it’s a long book. You’ll have to buy it from ricbrowde.com and figure it out. All I can say is it’s one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. Ric is truly a sick person.

I read on the Bubble site you’ve made some t-shirts with "All My Heroes Are Dead" written on. What about your childhood heroes and the ones of today?
I think the shirt was basically saying don’t depend too much on your heroes because 9 times out of 10 they will let you down. I guess as you grow older your heroes change anyway and even your definition of a hero changes. Today some of my heroes might be Noam Chomsky or Howard Zinn. Of course, John Bonham and Elvis Presley still rate.

You’re also a very good designer and some of your works are available on www.bam13ink.com. You’ve done many CD covers, what’s the best one ever in your opinion?
My favorite cd cover is for the last Bubble album, Rock n Roll Hell because I got to revert back to one of my favorite mediums: collage. We do at some point in the future want to release this album on vinyl so that the cover can be displayed at its full size.

Last week I tried to get in touch with Jo Dog, and I wrote to you by mistake (alcohol is so bad!), you’ve been so kind tryin’ to help me out. By the way, can you tell me something more on the Sonic Boom project and what has become of him?
Jo is always writing his own songs though lately I think he’s been working with Paul Black on some new Sonic Boom material but don’t quote me on that.

You also played with The Wildhearts, what do you think of Ginger and his latest solo album?
I’m a sucker for Ginger’s songwriting so I like just about everything he produces. Funnily enough, our Rock n Roll TV London correspondent, Robbie Tart has just interviewed Ginger for an upcoming episode. Along with a little bit with Andy McCoy of Hanoi Rocks.

Recently Dogs D’Amour played in Italy, sorry Tyla and his band... but I also saw you supporting Alice Cooper back in 2002... what are your memories of that gig and of Italy in general?
We loved that show! It was fantastico! Multo buon! (spelling?) The fans were so loving and affectionate to us we were overwhelmed and would love to bring Bubble there.

A few weeks ago I had an interview with Adam Bomb, who talked about Steven Adler very badly. If I asked you, what rockstar/musician you would talk bad about and why?
Adam Bomb. He is the most annoying person in rock n roll I’ve ever met.

Thank you again Bam, the last lines are for you.
The obstacle is the path. The present is a gift. Viva Italia!
