If Interrogation hasn't become the "next big thing" to hit the upcoming generation of the goth-industrial faction, it is only a matter of under-exposure. One could surely draw parallels to Nine Inch Nails, Ministry and the like, but such references fall just short of the fresh energy this group brings to their sound. Frontman and initiator, James Olyen, has grouped himself with the prowess of like-minded artists, Yveline and Twig, to create a powerhouse of Catharsis; and fortunately for us, the audience, they appear to be losing no steam. Tracks most likely to stick in your head include “Greed” and “Quite the Same.”

At about 2:00 in the afternoon the main/back room came alive with the first band of the day. Originally hailing from the suburbs of the Washington DC area, Interrogation relocated to the New Haven, CT area after completion of their debut release “Queen of Thorns.” Interrogation brought the developing crowd alive with some in your face hard hitting gothic laced with industrial rock that had intensity and cleverness. This band had a very powerful and tight performance. Frontman James Oylen’s vocals cut through the potent material and reached out to grab your soul. Everything was well structured and performed but I really enjoyed the outstanding performance of the band’s guitarist Yveline; her stage presence and musicianship was top notch and she really got into her work and making the crowd take notice of the band’s combined efforts. A great show for sure!

We also would like to send out a huuuge thank you to the professional and awesome crew from Poughkeepsie Live, where we performed on television last Thursday. You guys really did a great job with everything; impeccable lighting, sound, camera work, (and we all know James especially loved the fog). Okay, I liked the fog too.
Hopefully we will have video uploaded within the next couple weeks. Check back!

And don't forget DC/MD/VA! Get dressed up and come out this week:


Love,
Yveline

It was one hell of a good time.
First, a big fucking thank you to Jonathan, Renee, Seth, and the rest of the crew/staff/stage management team for putting together the event. You rock harder than we probably ever will.
Second, thanks to all the other bands, DJs, & performers, and to everyone who came out and enjoyed our set. We all enjoyed ourselves, and were thrilled to get to play you our new single "Bad Gravity" live for the first time.

We've all taken so many good memories home with us. (Like walking through a crowd of Baptists on the New Haven Green wearing a 2" strip of patent for a shirt.)

( That said, here's a drunken backstage photo, courtesy of DJ Kangal from DC )

We hope to have more images, video clips, and stories to share soon.
Till then,
Yveline

We're proud to announce Interrogation has just been added to the lineup of over 15 bands & artists for this year's Blacksun Festival! The festival is a three-day-long event (July 28-30) in downtown New Haven, CT featuring dark bands, DJs, fashion, & performance art from around the country. It was a huge success and great environment in its first year, and the coordinators are expecting attendance to triple this year.

We'll be playing the main stage at Alchemy in the afternoon on Saturday, July 29th 2006. For further details, visit the official Blacksun website at www.blacksun-festival.com

Hope to see you there!

Due to constant venue changes (with no notice), and now a date change (also with no prior notice), Interrogation will NOT be performing at the Emergenza Semi-Finals in May, or at any events affiliated with Emergenza in the future.

Please understand how hard we tried to make this work. We'll make sure every one of you is refunded for your tickets.

Gloom & Doom,
James

No, unfortunately it's not an event title.
This is a notice to inform everyone that the VENUE HAS CHANGED AGAIN for our upcoming show at the Emergenza Semi-finals May 12th in DC.
We will be performing at DC9, not Rock & Roll Hotel as previously stated by the Emergenza staff.
As a result of the switch, the show will no longer be all ages. DC9 is allowing an 18+ crowd for the festival.

NIN 'ONLY' REMIX PREMIERS ON SUBCULTURE SHOCK
Interrogation's remix of Nine Inch Nails single "Only" premiered Sunday 3/14 on the Subculture Shock radio show [WNRN 91.9 FM], receiving tremendous listener response. The remix will also be featured on the upcoming Subculture Shock Compilation CD [details]. You can help support the show by picking up a copy.

EMERGENZA FESTIVAL [WASHINGTON, DC] TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE
The semi-finals will be held Friday, May 12, 2006 at the new Rock & Roll Hotel on H St. NE - Click here to order tickets and get more info.

I also want to give a personal shoutout to zzounds.com; The power supply to my POD XT Live guitar pedal went MIA after our show in Stamford last friday, and in desperate need of replacing it before the Flux show next week I found that Zzounds not only offers the power supply separate from the pedal, but charges a lower price than other online retailers AND offers 1-day shipping. Fantastic.

See you next week at Gotham Citi,
Yveline

Well kids, all I can say is nature won this time. Today we bow our heads, accept defeat, and gracefully move forward. Till next time.

-James
