20 Questions With Kelly Heathcote :

 
 
 

1. Ok ..1st off What are you currently up to? good time to plug your shit!!!

Kelly: I am entering my 5th year of abstinence BORING! …..
I feel like its safe enough to hit the music scene again. As far as putting a new act together, I don't remember it being this painfull…. fun but painfull.


Working 6 days a week, band rehearsal and trying too get shit done at home dosen't leave Much time for my self .
We have some high caliber talent in this band 3 of us were in IDYL WYLD. Back in the early 90's (kelly, ronny, petey) and 3 of us were in WHITE HOTT (Terry, Ronny, Petey ) and After IDYL WYLD broke up. We are doing mostly cover tunes for now ...some WHITE HOTT Material will find its way to the tables and chairs (hopefully with people sitting in them).
Classic rock seams to be our musical focal point at this time, along with some newer material. With Ronnys blistering leads, and with Petey and Terry holding down the fort. I feel really good About whats going on behind me.


2 . You done allot of shows with (local Iowa Band) Roadshow...Tell us a good Roadshow story:
Can't think of one with Roadshow... But heres an Intruder story.
On the road In Wyoming…(where the men are men and the sheep are nervous)..Scully (SOUND MAN) had a fruit cake waiting for him in the band house bathroom one nite hiding behind the shower curtain. HIS name was marson …. ya that's right, his, as in he , a man,. A dude!!! That's understandable seeing how that scully the stud muffin that he is, and clark gable look so much a like…. Ha ha...
There were foot prints in the bathtub to verify this. Anyway some one caught marson coming out of The bathroom after scully, and confronted him about it in front of scully and about 100 people we Had at the band house that night for an after hours party. He was asked what he was doing in the Bathroom with scully, and all of a sudden you could here a pin drop. Most of us were in the kitchen when The question was asked every body at the party was silent and stareing at the guy, he looks around the room A couple of times and stopped at scully and shouted at the top of his lungs I WANT YOUR BUTT HOLE. WHOOOAAAAAA shit hit the fan this guy got his ass beat by scully, dave , me, and my little brother . The next nite this guy shows up at the gig stareing down scully again ! Scully told one of the bouncers (stormin normin we called him) to escort the guy out. The bouncer hit the guy so hard that we could see stagelight between his feet and the ground. The guy was out cold. Stormin normin picked the lifeless body up and took him outside and thrown marson in the dumpster , then called the cops
