Carla Harvey opens up about a full-circle career moment, going from a teenage fan of Guns N’ Roses, Pantera, and Lords of Acid to landing the opportunity of a lifetime performing, writing, and touring with one of her favorite bands.
In this interview, she talks about what makes Lords of Acid hit so hard for metal fans, how industrial, dance, and heavy riffs all connect, and why this music still feels dangerous, sexy, and alive. We also dig into life on the road, how festivals hit differently than headline shows, plus the creative side of touring, coffee shop muses, and the art that’s always been part of her world. She also teases new music with The Violent Hour, including a Guns N’ Roses cover that’s already turning heads. As promised on The Podcast That Rocked April 8th, a new stop has been added to The Cheeky Freaky Tour in Flagstaff, AZ, and I’ll be giving away 2 pairs of tickets for that show on IG & FB.
