Actually, there was another band where we were three girls, around '84 when I met John Zorn, called Sunset Chorus. It was just bass and drums and guitar- we didn't make any records but we played a lot of different clubs in New York.

Improvising things is always changing. A lot of momentum.
Come to think of it, the way I play is like a drum machine- very mechanical.
I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation.
I'm interested in stories and the dark side of peoples' minds.
The most important thing is that it's much more fun to play in a band than to be in an audience in a club. That's the main thing I think, that you can do it.
With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.
The way I create music is maybe like a painting, to compose in a more visual way. Basically it's the music that I want to hear- that's my inspiration and bottom line. I just try to get ideas from books, movies, paintings.
Blood and death. That moves me.
Because it's dance music, you can't really have a lot of changing in there. It's really not for me because there's too much repetition. I like more diversity.
