COME WALK WITH A ZOMBIE


I've always been a BIG fan of Alice Cooper and people of a similar creative thought process, Coops songs paint mental pictures that are just brilliant...WELL... I went and found myself someone else whose tunes do the same bloody thing to me...Ladies and Gents, dead and Un-dead alike, allow me to introduce Wednesday 13..



.I first saw the film clip "I walk with a Zombie" somewhere, the video had clips of all the old classic horror flicks dispersed through it, and that was me hooked ...got into his stuff and I've got to say if you like tongue in cheek humour with a dash, well, gallons of blood and guts , then this guy is for you....get amongst him, I dare ya.....oh and if your sensitive to swearing, block your ears, cause in some tracks he lets rip...dont say I didnt warn ya...;)



Joseph Poole, better known as Wednesday 13 (born August 12, 1976), is  from Charlotte, North Carolina....I have to wonder how much he stuck out when he was a kid in the dirty south, If he looked anything liked he looks on the Zombie vid, then I imagine he woulda been a bit ostracised, ANYWAY, "I walked with a Zombie" video was a truly outstanding clip and has a truly outstanding guitar hook....I've seen them at Big Day Out and I musta been the oldest dude there, I was getting some weird looks, that much I know.




Poole (Wednesday) embarked on his career in music in 1992 with Maniac Spider Trash. He left the group in 1996 and formed Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13 with fellow "Spider Trashers" Abby Normal and Sicko Zero. The band managed to release five full-length albums and six EPs over the span of five years before calling it quits in 2003 as a result of Poole's rising success with his Murderdolls side project. In 2004, Poole formed Wednesday 13, releasing the EP 6 Years, 6 Feet Under the Influence. It was followed in 2005 by the full-lengthTransylvania 90210: Songs of Death, Dying, and the Dead. In May 2006,Wednesday 13 put out a six-CD/DVD box set called Little Box of Horrors, followed by Fang Bang later that September.



Wednesday currently resides in Los Angeles, among other things he is a fan of campy horror movie parodies and mildly macabre TV shows such as The Munster's and The Addam's Family (the latter being the source of his "Wednesday" moniker), which influence his tongue-in-cheek lyrics. He also created a set of cartoon characters with his ex-wife called the Thirteen Dead Kids, which was released as a clothing line
