(Tribe Note: Updated on July 01,09 - K.A.M.F.'N Athena is at it again. I received this email message today for an edit on the final Closing Comments question of the interview!

 

Athena: OK....I totally read right by the no censor part of that question #16 With your permission I would like to RE-ANSWER..........scroll down

 

The edit has been added along with Athena's original answer!)

Athena Lee Kottak is not new to the SplatterTribe. Actually, years ago in a previous incarnation, SplatterTribe had an advice columnist known as K.A.M.F.'N Athena (short for Krazy-Assed Mother F'n Athena, of course). She tackled all questions and answered however she saw fit. The reason that column came about was because I had sent Athena an email interview concerning her band Krunk and she returned the interview in about six different emails and in no certain order. I found it so humorous and interesting that I hit her up to be our advice columnist.

 

Well it has been a while since Athena has graced a SplatterTribe page so a few months back I hit her up for another email interview. Which I received back this week after a phoner we had planned did not work out. This is just a short email interview, but expect a more in depth phoner interview very soon!

 

For those who do not know who Athena is I'll fill you in. Athena is the younger sister of Motley Crue Drumming Legend Tommy Lee and wife of former Kentuckian and present Scorpions drummer James Kottak. She currently plays (what else?) drums with her husband (also known as Jimmie Rachitt) in the band Kottak, which has recently recorded new material for an upcoming album. Kottak, the band, was originally known as Krunk, but changed the name after Lil' Jon Crunked the world over.

 

So, Athena is back in the Tribe. Kottak is back with new music and all is now right in the world! The video posted above, PINK/SOFT was from Kottak's previous album Therupy, but with recent recordings surfacing on their MySpace page expect allot of new things Kottak coming from the Kottak camp and the SplatterTribe camp as well. --Primal

 

BTW, if you do see Athena at a show and she does flash you as she offers in this interview, you are obligated to send us some pics!! SplatterTribe Loves Athena!!

Primal Email Interview with Athena Lee Kottak

 

 

SplatterTribe: Introduce yourself and compare each member of Kottak to a breakfast cereal and why the comparison!

 

Athena: Hi, I'm Athena (DRUMMER) HMMM... CEREAL... JIMMY is definitely Coco Puffs (KOOKOO)...JOHN Is Boo Berry ( Cause he looks like Edward Scissor Hands sometimes)

..And PRICE is Captain Crunch ( Just because he is)  ha!

 

(Tribe Note: You didn't compare yourself to a cereal so I went to my kitchen to see what we have and maybe come up with something for you. Well, there is Raison Bran, Honey Nut Cheerios, Apple Jacks & Peanut Butter Capt Crunch.......Hmm...I think we'll have to go with the Honey Nut Cheerios I don't know why, it just seems right!)
 

 

Kottak

2009

 

SplatterTribe: Everyone hates this question, but being that we are a musically diverse website, please do your best to explain what the band Kottack is?

 

Athena: A bunch of talented idiots!!

 

 


SplatterTribe: How do you define the following words?
 

Athena:

Music - MOOD
Entertainment - FUN
Art - VISUAL
Life - CRAZY
 

 


SplatterTribe: Being that you, your brother and your husband are drummers, Did you grow up with upside down cymbals as dinner plates and do you and your husband currently serve your kids dinner on upside down cymbals?

 

Athena: HA!!!!! NO... Never did...Good idea though. I think I remember my brother trying to pretend his drumsticks where chopsticks:)
 

(Tribe Note: Maybe you guys can come out with the Lee/Kottak Cymbal Plates with matching drumstick cutlery!)

 

 


SplatterTribe: Originally the band Kottak was called Krunk, how's it feel to be responsible for an entire genre of rap and an energy drink?

 

Athena: That right there..., is EXACTLY why we changed it!
 

(Tribe Note: I thought Lil' Jon was just another one of James Kottak/Jimmie Rachitt's personalities. I take it I was wrong!)

 

 

 

SplatterTribe: When I say the following names what comes to mind?
 

Athena:

Jimmy Rachitt - MEMORY LOSS
Travis Barker - COOL
Billy McCarthy - GILBERT GOTTFRIED
Lil Jon - KRUNK STEALER
Orlando Bloom - HOT!!!
Mick Mars - SMART
 

 


SplatterTribe: A long time ago in a land far, far away you did an advice column for The SplatterTribe and you were completely awesome, so I'm
gonna ask for

Athena Lee Kottak

 Live!!!!

 some advice now. I have this problem, I just went outside and my car won't start. Any Advice?

 

Athena: WALK!!!
 

 

 

SplatterTribe: Make one sentence out of the following words and phrases....

 

Yeaaaahh
Splatter
Ratchet
Krazy
bat
eraser

 

Athena: Yeaaahh, Krazy ass Ratchitt took a bat & hit his eraser & made it Splatter!!!! Poof!
 

 


SplatterTribe: Ok, close your eyes......are they closed?

 

Athena: YUP!! WAIT... I have to read.....

 

SplatterTribe: If you are reading this right now than they are not closed. Obviously though you cannot answer the question if your eyes are indeed closed, so let's just pretend they are close. Now, what comes to mind when you here the word Splatter Tribe combined?

 

Athena: A bunch of bloody, naked, Tribe people dancing & partying on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere...YIKES!

 

 


SplatterTribe: If You were to write a song entitled SplatterTribe, what would it be about and how many beats per minute?

 

Athena: It would be about what I just wrote about..DUH!!! With a fast Jungle beat of course. (An "Ass & Saggy Boobie Shaker" so to speak).
 

 


SplatterTribe: If you were going to start your own Musicians Hall Of Fame (individuals not bands) who would be your first five nominees?
 

Athena: Oh damn.... I'll have to think about that one.
 

 

 

SplatterTribe:  I ask those I interview for a question to ask future interviewees, so that brings us to this question from Empyrean Asunder's Jerry 'Eroxthis' Barksdale, his question is....

 

The laws of physics are not symmetrical. There is no symmetry between left and right, past and future and between antimatter and matter. What is the mechanism of violation in the postulated CP symmetry and what is the origin of parity violation in Weak interactions? What disrupted the symmetry in the first place? Is this violation explicable within the Standard Model of physics or is a new mechanism required?
 

Athena: WTF????HUH????

 

(Tribe Note: The funny thing is, I don't know if that is the right answer or not!)

 

 Jimmie

Athena

James

 Athena

 


SplatterTribe: Do you have a random question I can ask a future interviewee?

 

Athena: What's the grossest thing you do when you think no one is looking???
 

 


SplatterTribe: Do you have any questions you want to ask me?

 

Athena: Yeah, that same question!
 

(Tribe Note: I pick my nose with clean cutlery and put it back and pee in the doorway of every room in the house to mark my territory. Is that gross?)

 

 


SplatterTribe: Songwriting time. I'm gonna write 2 lines to the first verse of a song and then you write 2 more
 

I see cracks in the walls
And cracks in the ceiling


Athena:

I see a "crack head" on the corner

And another in the park!
 

 


SplatterTribe: Any closing comments concerning anything you want known, said, heard, wrote (plug, plug, and remember we don not censor!)
