Evil:
I am Evil from a small northern California town 30 miles NE of
Sacramento. Compare myself to something that flys.. I’d have to say
a pig…what pigs don’t fly in your world? They do in mine.
(Tribe Note: Well, it just so happens that
there is a pet pig in the SplatterTribe Family named Slash or Slasher, depending
on what relation you are to him. I have to be honest, I have never seen him fly
except for the day I came home and he had gotten into my refrigerator. I swear
he flew from the fridge to his cage as soon as he heard me open the door. When I
walked over to the fridge everything was in the floor half ate except for my ham
and my pepperoni's, go figure.)

SplatterTribe:
Is Evil your birth name? And if so, what is your middle name? If not, why the
nickname?
Evil:
I was named after my
great grandmother Evangeline, middle after my father Michele. My
mother gave me the nickname of Eve, when you said Eve Hall (my
maiden name) fast you got
Evil.. So it’s been Evil ever since…Eve just never
fit…wonder why…
(Tribe
Note; Well, it also comes out sounding like Efaw, but Evil definitely sounds
better than Efaw.)
SplatterTribe:
Ok, explain to us what the garden of Evil is and does itcontain
|
any fruit trees or reptiles?
Evil:
The Garden of Evil was a concept we (my husband
Aaron and I) came up with after
Rocklahoma 2007. I
wanted to combined what
Mullet Island (a kick ass after party) and Jessica (live music in
VIP camping) did. After kicking it around with the forum peeps (www.fevertalk.net) We came up
with the
VIPeeps tent, Chuck donated his drums, Dan & Mess the stage
and tent Johnny the sound system….Then the monster was created. We wanted
a backstage area that was only open to select group, where we could all meet,
hangout, a home base.We needed a name for the backstage area, aftera few
suggestions Metallion
offered
The

Garden of Evil. As the monster grew a BBQ was added Wednesday (since
Rocklahoma had no VIP food). Again people started offering donations of food,
drink, pop up’s. Dennis then came up with the logo, so we had to have t-shirts
and banners… The Garden of Evil is a fan fueled music venue, it was created by
the people for the people….as for fruit trees, no but you must try the brownies!
The only reptiles in the Garden are the trouser snakes!
SplatterTribe:
What are 3 things you hate more than anything?
Evil:
Drama, Starbucks, and liars.
(Tribe Note: Yeah, that damn Starbucks
ain't nuthin' but Drama and Liars!)
SplatterTribe:
What is your definition of Entertainment?
Evil:
Anything that holds my
interest. Good or bad if it entertains you it’s Entertainment.
SplatterTribe:
What is your definition of Art?
Evil:
Art is personal expression
in any form. It’s subjective, and as long as it isn’t hurting anyone.. go for
it!

SplatterTribe:
Your brownies seem to have a kick to them, what is your recipe?
Evil:
It’s more the “extra’s” I
start with a
Hershey Extra Chunky mix, I exchange the oil with my own special
butter that can only be found growing in the Garden of Evil. The trick
to them is adding extra flavors, with choices ranging from
M&M,
Heath Bars, coconut, orange. My favorite has to be adding mint
extract and Andes Mint Chips.
I took a batch of
Dark Chocolate chips and Raspberry Extract to England with me a couple
weeks ago! |
(Tribe Note: It still seems
like there was something else. I couldn't quite place it. Is is Nutmeg? It's
Nutmeg isn't it. That's what it is Nutmeg. It seems like they had a tase of
Nutmeg in them.)
SplatterTribe:
So give us your 2008 highlights.
Evil:
Watching the sky
light up with fireworks in the Garden of Evil at
Rocklahoma while
Revengeance
tore the stage up at 3am .Laughing with
Dee Snider about how
only us crazy ass mother fuckers would fly into a city that is in the path of a
hurricane to rock out (Rock The Bayou). Followed by flying to England for 3 days
just to attend what might be the last
FireFest in Nottingham.
SplatterTribe:
Why do you think it is that at Rocklahoma 08 a storm blew down the two
multi-grand side stages and did not hurt the Garden of Evil stage?
Evil:
We did suffer some damage
Saturday. We got a small tear in the tent (tho was a god send seeing as the tent
got hotter than hell when packed) but the main problem was water. With so much
standing water I refused to take the chance of someone from Down for Five
getting hurt. So we put a halt to that nights entrainment. Lucky for me or I
wouldn’t have met you or Tommy Lee
Flood that night!
(Tribe Note: That
Tommy Lee
Flood dude is a socializing, partying moothofooko! Speaking of
moothofooko'd, I think I got pretty moothofooko'd that night. That night was a
journey!)
SplatterTribe:
What comes to mind when you hear the words SplatterTribe?
Evil:
My most enjoyable night at
Rocklahoma, relaxing in
the RV with some good friends, good drink and even better brownies!
(Tribe Note: Nutmeg, I'm
sure it was Nutmeg.)

(Tribe
Note: Hey I actually know how that's done. The trick is what you tie to the shoe
string.)
SplatterTribe:
Ok we are going to see if you truly are..........Smarter than a 5th grader! No
cheating & if you do you must admit to how you cheated. Which of these Earth
layers is the thinnest?
a- The inner core
b- The outer core
c- The mantle
d- The crust
Evil:
D - final answer
(Tribe Note: Yeah, the
answer is D if you want to give the right answer, but the fun part of the
question is getting to make fun of people for missing it or ignoring it. Thanks
for takin the fun right out of it! Oh, and By The Way, Evil, You ARE indeed,
Smarter Than A 5th Grader!)
SplatterTribe:
Songwriting time. Ok I come up with 2 lines for
the first verse of a song. Then you come up with 2 lines to end the verse.
As the storm started raging
I knew things would change
Evil:
As I looked in his eyes and
whispered my name
and I knew things would change

Evil, Aaron, the Gardeneers
& alot of Devil Horns |

SplatterTribe:
What are your plans for The Garden of Evil in
the next year?
Evil:
We are going to be in the
same area (JV) we have rented a 40x40 tent and will have a bigger
stage and better sound system. We plan to have food each night for a
donation, those brats at 3am were a life saver to some people. As
for bands we are starting to get people interested in next year, and
I am impressed. The bands will be voted on again by the people on
fever talk.
