Eddie Suicide - Lead Singer of Royal Dead

Today ADC is featuring Eddie Suicide
Born & Raised in Denver, CO.
Royal Dead - One of the best local Denver shows you will ever witness.

When did you first realize that you wanted to make music? 
It's always been a way for me to vent. I feel it's good to express yourself. I'm not good at talking, so I found myself hiding behind a guitar, but being able to tell one person how I felt even though I was talking to a crowd.


What inspires you or who inspires you?
I think my family is the main one, but growing up I wanted to be David Bowie, Billy Idol and Johnny Cash. I found what they did was fascinating. How they grabbed peoples attention and held it while they sang about heart ache and just told stories.


What gets you motivated to do what you do each day? 
Coffee.


What sort of problems do you run into doing this sort of career? 
Not enough touring. Its a huge part of being in a band and making music.

What are some of the biggest enjoyments or pleasures you find from doing what you do?Seeing people singing royal dead songs is the best thing when we play live. Somebody once told me they connected with one of our songs when they recently got out of a relationship. I been there before so I know what they were saying. I never thought somebody would say that about one of my songs.


Do you have any advice to people that want to do or get into what you do? 
Don't do it for the money, do it for your art to come to life and for the people who enjoy it. 

What is your favorite Denver Brewery?
TRVE



Who is your favorite Horror Film Character?
FRANKENSTEIN, because he was a monster that just wanted to be loved. 

Do you have a favorite local band that you love to watch in concert?
Wow that is a hard question to answer. Denver is full of so many great bands. I couldn't possibly pick just one. If I had to suggest to somebody I would tell them "go check out every band Denver has to offer, cause this city is bumpin with talent"

Lastly do you want to give any shout outs to anyone?

Vicki Francia - Full Time Medical Assistant and Part Time Model

Today ADC is featuring Vicki Francia originally from Reading, Massachusetts.

When did you first realize that you wanted to pursue these two separate careers?

What made me decide to pursue this is that I am really into blood and guts, so I thought I would get into the medical field and as far as modeling I was always told I should model, so back when I was 15 my parents put me in a modeling school called John Casablancas and here I am!


What inspires you or who inspires you?

Any strong minded individual who stands up in what they believe in is what truly inspires me.

What gets you motivated to do what you do each day? 

What motivates me is knowing that I have a very mothering nature and I enjoy helping people. Weather it be having a conversation or drawing someone's blood to see why they haven't been feeling well internally.


What sort of problems do you run into doing this sort of career? 

One big problem in career is finding a good job. It is very hard to find a job as a medical assistant.

Do you have any advice to people that want to do or get into what you do? 

Some advice that I would give is never turn something you are passionate about into a "job" keep it fun and every day is completely different from the last day. 

What is your favorite Denver Brewery?


I haven't been to many, but Trve or Black Sky.


Who is your favorite Horror Film Character?

When did you first realize that you wanted to pursue this career? 
I've always been the one to do my friends hair, but what really got me into it was mortuary science. I went to school for hair, because a lot of funeral homes were looking for people to have beauty experience as well. I was going to do hair to put me through mortuary science, but I completely fell in love with doing hair on the living that I decided to stay put. There’s nothing like making someone feel beautiful and I really love what I do. I pretty much get to paint on a live canvas all day.

What sort of problems do you run into doing this type career? 
 The biggest problems I face is my body. Its a very demanding job. My shoulder kills me, my back is pissed every day, I have tendentiousness and carpel tunnel starting. I’m on my feet for at least 8 hours a day. However I’m not made for a “office” job. I don’t like to sit still all day. (Unless its my day off) 

What are some of the biggest enjoyments you find from doing what you do?
 I love making people feel beautiful. I love when I see someone walk out with their head held higher. I also get the chance to be artistic with hair.

Do you have any advice to people that want to do or get into what you do? 
Love what you do. If you don’t love it this is not for you. You will have times you feel like a starving artist but stick with it, hustle, get your name out there and produce excellent work and it will all pay off. Always educate yourself. You will never stop learning. 

Who or what inspires you?
Everyone inspires me. My clients, other hairstylists/barbers. Most of all my son, Vincent. He inspires me to do my best, so I can provide him with the best. I love my unemployed roommate so much. He is my rock.

What do you love most about Denver?  
I love the mountains. The sunsets are beautiful with the mountains. Fall here is also very pretty and the people here are pretty laid back, downtown I like, because there is people from all walks of life. 

What is your favorite Denver Brewery or Bar?

One of my favorites is sobo 151. Drinks are awesome and food is great! 

Who is your favorite Horror Film Character?

Oh! To many to say but some of my top ones are pinhead, Freddy, Samara, firefly clan, Dracula, and my own dreams. 

Do you have a favorite local band that you love to watch in concert? 
I loved the bloody fives, native daughters, widows bane. Haven’t been to a local show in a while, so I’m not sure who is all out there right now.

Where is your business located and where can we stalk you?
