• 0:04
  my pleasure to be here and be sure you check out my new single Doom
• 0:10
  streaming everywhere. Came out August eleventh. Call your local radio have them play
• 0:14
  it. And I can't wait to get to Australia to rock out for all
• 0:18
  of you. And I have two movies coming out here in the twenty twenty
• 0:24
  fourth Scared to Death starring me Lynn Shay and Bill Moseley, and then Hell
• 0:29
  Billy Hollow. That's my horror franchise that I starre in. So it's very
• 0:34
  nice to be here. Thank you for having me. Chris, my pleasure,
• 0:37
  Curt, thanks for joining us. Brother as you say, man,
• 0:41
  you really ys man. You released is seeing good game back on augusty eleven
• 0:45
  mites so she's been out for a couple of months now, so hasn't been
• 0:48
  received. It's doing well everywhere. We're getting radio play around the States.
• 0:53
  I don't know about other countries. We're playing it live in concert. It's
• 0:57
  also featured in my movie Heavily Hollow and epic final scene of that movie.
• 1:02
  So and that's why I originally had written the song and it's just a slammerman,
• 1:07
  and it's just bringing rock and roll to the world the way I do
• 1:11
  it, and hopefully everybody sees it doesn't sound like everything else and it's the
• 1:17
  Kurt Dimer away, so they can you dive into it a bit deeper musically,
• 1:23
  mate, Like, what were you gone for musically with it? Well,
• 1:26
  we needed a good epic song for the final scene of hell Billy Hollow,
• 1:32
  and I wrote the song originally, you know, for the movie.
• 1:37
  That's that's what inspired it. And you can have a lot of doom in
• 1:42
  a horror type movie that's scary and a lot of scenarios that create that doom
• 1:48
  feeling. But I also write to try to help people realize other things that
• 1:53
  are going on in the world and things I've been through in my life.
• 1:57
  And I wanted to also point out that, you know, drug abuse,
• 2:00
  whether it's heroin or cocaine or any drug of choice, pills, whatever,
• 2:07
  can also create doom in one's life. So I wanted to intertwine real life
• 2:12
  and the dooms that you could experience on a day to day basis along with
• 2:17
  the doom you could feel from a horror movie. So that's what inspired me
• 2:22
  to write the lyrics that I did and create the video that I did that
• 2:25
  you can check out on YouTube. Is because not only is it a fitting
• 2:30
  song for the movie itself being horror in the last scene of the movie and
• 2:35
  we play the whole song, but I wanted to bring awareness to the fact
• 2:39
  that a lot of us are facing doom in everyday life from drug addiction.
• 2:44
  And you mentioned that the song is for the final scene from the movie Hell
• 2:47
  Hell, Billy Holloy, mit, So how does it actually fit into the
• 2:50
  storyline. It's, you know, kind of like one of my favorite horror
• 2:53
  movies is The Devil's Rejects by Rob's one and they put Freebird in at the
• 2:59
  end, you know, when they're get a shot at in the car,
• 3:01
  which was an epic scene to me, and I want to we're kind of
• 3:05
  walking away in this final scene and it's a very doom scene, if you
• 3:09
  will. So I just instead of using somebody else's music being an artist and
• 3:15
  touring all over the country and soon all over the world, I wanted to
• 3:20
  share one of my songs that I wrote that could make an impact on people's
• 3:27
  lives instead of just taking one that people had already heard. So That's why
• 3:32
  I thought it would be a great way to parlay you know, my music
• 3:37
  along with my creative side and movies as well, and it just seemed very
• 3:42
  fitting. Did you write music for the whole soundtrack? Might? Is it
• 3:46
  just that one song on that? Yeah? On the soundtrack, there'll be
• 3:49
  a couple of songs by a band called The Why Store I'm good friends with
• 3:53
  Chris, and then there's one song by Drowning Pool, and then all the
• 3:55
  rest of the songs in the movie are Kurt Dimer song was that you could
• 4:00
  find on my EP work hard Rock Card or anywhere you stream music, some
• 4:05
  of the singles from there, and a couple that were never released until the
• 4:10
  movie. So it's mostly Kurr Dimer songs that you can find and stream anywhere
• 4:15
  you stream music, and then some new ones and it's going to be a
• 4:19
  great soundtrack. It's it's rockin' man. And then my movie Scared to Death
• 4:24
  that I just shot, that'll probably come out first with Bill Moseley and Lynn
• 4:28
  Shay. I wrote the title song for that Scared to Death, which people
• 4:31
  will trip out on, and we also have another song in that movie.
• 4:36
  But that movie is crazy man. It's going to come to theaters for sure.
• 4:42
  So, oh, tell us a bit more about the movie. I
• 4:46
  held Billy Holly that dams from mate, like, it's actually a part of
• 4:48
  the franchise that you started. It's a franchise. I wrote the original one
• 4:58
  with everybody, with Bernadette Peters and Kevin Wayne to realize that it will be
• 5:03
  a franchise because I was in Halloween twenty eighteen got killed by Michael Myers Jamie
• 5:11
  Lee Curtis when they rebooted that from the original franchise that John Carpenter had started.
• 5:16
  So I was in Halloween sitting there on the set on my best scene,
• 5:21
  you know, with Michael Myers, James Jude Courtney, and I'm just
• 5:26
  thinking, you know, I'm sitting there with this shit all over my face
• 5:29
  and all the prosthetics to make me look really dead. You know, I
• 5:32
  can do a horror franchise like Halloween did back in the day. They did
• 5:35
  that one in seventy eight I believe, and then now here we are in
• 5:40
  twenty eighteen, So why can't I do the same thing. And that's what
• 5:45
  inspired me to do Hell Billy Hollow. So I called Kevin Wayne, who's
• 5:48
  a fellow actor who's from Alabama. Him and I were working on some other
• 5:54
  smaller film projects at the very beginning of my career when I got back into
• 5:58
  being in the creative part of my life, and he said, well,
• 6:02
  you know, I've got this hell Billy Hollow. There's a site, there's
• 6:05
  an actual haunted site in Alabama called hell Billy Hollow. So we set up
• 6:12
  the movie. We already had the scenes there and everything to introduce the world
• 6:15
  to Bull and Tickles my character's Bull and Kevin Wayne place tickles my brother and
• 6:19
  he can't talk. I'm the only one who can talk to him, and
• 6:23
  I'm a crazy motherfucker in the movie. And we got campers and lived on
• 6:28
  the site of hell Billy Hollow for a month and a half and shot hell
• 6:31
  Billy Hollow in Vincent, Alabama. So and then the next hell Billy Hollow
• 6:36
  Hollow too, will take you back kind of to the origins of how we
• 6:40
  even ended up in Alabama. So it's it's really cool, man, How
• 6:45
  is it right? And you've also got more than three dozen ho the songs
• 6:47
  recorded by so are they gonna holm an album or a soundtrack? There's another
• 6:51
  movie or something else. Yeah, We've got my EP work Hard Rock Card
• 6:57
  out that we've been touring on that came out in November and twenty twenty one.
• 7:00
  Got a few singles we put out like Hero Have a Cigar, but
• 7:04
  our cover of Pink Floyd My Dad passed in twenty sixteen, so you can
• 7:14
  check out all those songs. But yeah, I'm getting ready to put out
• 7:16
  of probably thirteen to fifteen song double album introducing the world to Kurtdimer. It'll
• 7:24
  be at our double debut EP or album not EP, and that'll be coming
• 7:29
  out early twenty twenty four, and we'll be touring with it as well and
• 7:33
  have copies for the fans and all that, and build a network of stores
• 7:38
  around the world that you can pick up our music at or at our website
• 7:42
  Kurtdimer dot com. So I can't wait. I've been working on this music
• 7:46
  with the Chris Lord Algae, who kind of discovered me in twenty twenty when
• 7:49
  I came out to LA during COVID and we've only been touring two years now,
• 7:56
  but we created all these songs and this is probably half of what we've
• 7:59
  already created that we'll be putting out on this double album. So, and
• 8:03
  what about the means of direction of those songs? For are they all sit
• 8:07
  with the Dame or do they have a bit of a cross section A lot,
• 8:09
  are similar to doom a lot? Or it's just my own brand of
• 8:13
  rock and roll. You know. I stay true to who I am.
• 8:16
  I don't try to be somebody I'm not. I've got a lot to say
• 8:20
  in my brain. Instead of going to therapy, I write lyrics for everybody
• 8:24
  in the world to learn from because I've been through so much fighting to get
• 8:26
  to where I am today on my own. Nobody handed me anything in life.
• 8:31
  I started oil companies before I got back into music, you know,
• 8:35
  with forty grand in a checking account that now ship product all over the world.
• 8:39
  I'm a worker. I'm more the give. The more you give in
• 8:43
  the world, the more you get. I believe in positivity and being kind
• 8:50
  to each other. And it's just it's crazy how it's all just kind of
• 8:56
  unfolding now. And if Chris wouldn't have discovered, you know, my music
• 9:00
  when I took it out to them that I had started, I don't know
• 9:05
  where i'd be today. But I'm very grateful for folks like yourself who having
• 9:11
  me on down in Australia other places around the world. And we've only just
• 9:16
  begun man, Like I said, we've only been touring two years, so
• 9:20
  listen bright all right, well, thanks very much for your tom that I've
• 9:22
  rightly been a pleasures just speak of May the other single Dame is out now,
• 9:26
  maybe hell Billy Hollway is out next year? You go stead Death coming
• 9:28
  out? Might you sound like you're going to be pretty busy, So it's
• 9:31
  luck with everything. Yeah, Yeah, And I think you'll find the vibe
• 9:35
  on the album. We're going to take you on a musical journey some of
• 9:39
  the songs that we've already had out and then the new ones. I've got
• 9:41
  another cool cover I'm working on with Jeff Tate, and I really think the
• 9:46
  folks in Australia will dig it. Well. One I might add one thing.
• 9:52
  My favorite band growing up in the eighties was the Hoodoo Gurus from Australia.
• 9:58
  So a lot of my influence I take from the Gurus, you know,
• 10:01
  the Gurrius. So in fact I told my management I go get a
• 10:05
  hold of their camp because I'd love to tour, do the Australian tour with
• 10:09
  them and open up for them to introduce ourselves around the Australia, so hopefully
• 10:18
  we'll get that done soon
