Our NAMM 2014 coverage still continues. One of the highlights of our NAMM 2014 coverage was to interview 3/4 members of We are Harlot. We Are Harlot took home our Number 1 Spot on our countdown of 14 Bands that will rule 2014 and believe me they will definitely be proving us right this year.
We Are Harlot is a band that has been 2 years in the making and the time is now for them. We Are Harlot is Danny Wornsop (Asking Alexandria) on Vocals, Brian Weaver (SilverTide) on Bass, Bruno Agra on Drums and our very own Day 1 of 12 Days of Guitarists; Jeff George (Sebastian Bach) on Guitar. We first heard the news of We Are Harlot last year and also had the opportunity to chat with Jeff George as he told us how We Are Harlot began. You can read that interview here.
During NAMM we were able to grab Danny, Jeff and Brian for a quick interview. We are pleased to bring it to you here:
Here is an excerpt of an update we received from Jeff in December: (Please note that the band name was referenced as Harlot)
“Once again from myself and the rest of the guy’s in (We Are)Harlot we are truly honored to be named the #1 band to take over and rule the world in 2014.
As anyone reading knows.. This has been 2 years in the making getting to this point. And we are way fucking ready! We are so amazed by all the incredible fans that have stood by and waited for Harlot. Trust me.. Danny, Bruno, Brian and myself are right there with you all! As we have stated in the past.. This is the MUSIC BUSINESS.. key word business haha. So its not always just as easy as it should be to put out a record and go on tour. You have different record labels, Lawyers, Managers, Bands and ect ect ect.. there is a long list. So it took us a bit to get all the business sides of things sorted to the point it is now… where we can just fucking rock! And that’s exactly what we are going to do now!
March!!! Oh, yes we are even more excited! We have been able to hear snippets of Harlot vocals or guitar tracking via Danny Wornsop’s Instagram/Youtube but we all truly want to know what to expect with this new album. Jeff explains more, “It’s definitely 100% a fucking Rock n Roll record. We have played these songs for all of our friends and just about every major person in the music industry. And the reactions we get most often are “Whoa.. whatever this is.. it sounds like everything I love about music” or “Fuck guys.. Im not totally sure what this is.. but it’s really really fucking good”.
Again.. it’s very tough to describe because it sounds like everything the 4 of us love. So you’ll have a track that sounds like Van Halen, Queens of the stone age, Aerosmith and Maroon 5 all just rocked out an insane orgy together..haha. you may not get it.. but I promise you.. you won’t forget it! And all great music is that way. Tons of rock.. Tons of guitar solo’s.. tons of attitude.. and one of the best voices on the planet! Live.. this band is going to be insane.. I honestly have no idea what is going to take place because were all pretty wild hahaha!”
I can only imagine how crazy a We Are Harlot tour would be. These guys all have high energy, magnetic personalities and are true crowd pleasers. It will be one FUCKIN AMAZING TOUR! Now we can all prepare for Harlot and their tour. We asked Jeff if they plan on doing a US tour and he told us, “That would be mean if we only toured the US?! Yes – we will be hitting just about every major market worldwide in 2014. Danny also has a very busy schedule with Asking Alexandria of course, so we are working out dates and routing as they come in. And all the guys in AA and Harlot are friends so it’s pretty easy to work most of that stuff out.. just logistics. Of course it does make it wild for Danny as it’s pretty non stop for him.. but this is what we do.. we love music and to play music.. Thats whats in us. If we weren’t playing we wouldn’t know what to do with ourselves… well that’s a lie.. we would all be at a bar somewhere haha!”
We Are Harlot tour 2014 will be one of the best, if not THE BEST tour of 2014…… Just this past weekend Danny Worsnop and Jeff performed with Camp Freddy at The Roxy. Check out this video of them performing, “Nothing But a Good Time”:
We asked Jeff how was it performing with Camp Freddy and so many special guests ? “It was definitely an awesome night. The electricity was in the air for sure and the Roxy was about 10 times over sold out! It all came about pretty last minute. We have some friends who are close to all the guy’s in Camp Freddy, so the day before the show.. Billy Morrison hit up Danny about singing a few tunes. And I know the guys as well having previously played on the Sebastian record with Steve Stevens and had jammed with Matt Sorum in the past as well. So Danny threw it out there to have me play too.. and boom.. a few hours later we were in rehearsal.
It was pretty damn surreal to be standing on that little stage with the guys, and Slash and Moby and Billy Ray Cyrus..ect. I mean.. I played Slash’s Les Paul in rehearsal..haha. That doesn’t happen everyday!! Everyone of the guys were ultra cool and just awesome. And it wasn’t Rockstar in anyway.. It was guitars and amps and music.. the same way it is if your 15 years old jamming with your buddies in the garage! And.. Danny sang the fucking roof off the damn place. It was amazing to see Slash and Billy smiling when Danny would sing Journey note for fucking note.. Really impressive! Backstage we all shared rock n roll stories and had a ton of laughs together. We loved Mark McGrath! He is just over flowing with fun and personality.. really cool dude. And.. maybe the most amazing part of it for both Danny and I… it was the first time the 2 of us had ever taken the stage together..:)
Now were ready to do it with our other Harlot brothers as well… Thanks again so very much Music Junkie Press for making us the #1 band to take over the world in 2014.. Harlot is coming your way.. get ready!
We can’t wait for the new music and we will be covering We Are Harlot as they perform at the Rock on the Range in May. We hope to bring you another interview! We are ready to ROCK and for We Are Harlot to dominate 2014 with their KICK ASS ROCK n ROLL!!! Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on the latest We Are Harlot news. You don’t want to miss anything from your new favorite band!
