Los Angeles' Carbon 9 Ready for 2009 Launch
All it takes is a few minutes with vocalist and lead sequencer of Carbon 9, Stacey Quinealty, to realize the man's deep insight to the world around us. And the lyrics to to the band's music tell the same distinct story.
The music matches this with a thick blend of Nine Inch Nails' technical depth/aptitude and Queensryche overall slickness. It is a sound that will please both metalheads and alternative rockers alike. But the beauty of the band is that it is unlikely to be classified as either one.
The following is an interview with Stacey, a month before the new Carbon 9 album, The Bull, will be released.
POWERLINE A.D.: Give a brief history of how the band got together.
Stacey Quinealty: Most of us all met at Universal Studios in Hollywood...
POWERLINE A.D.: How was that? Were you all working there?
Stacey Quinealty: Yeah, we were all performers there.
POWERLINE A.D.: Really?
Stacey Quinealty: Yeah, like Omar (Brancato), our bass player, was a performer in T2 Terminator live show ... they had a Beetlejuice Rockin Graveyard Review which did big theatrical productions... I played Frankenstein and Phantom in that show. We also had a drumming show, kind of like a STOMP knockoff kinda thing. I was in charge of that and met Matty (Milani), our drummer, that way. So we have been performing together for years in a bunch of different things.
POWERLINE A.D.: Were you guys ever aspiring actors, too?
Stacey Quinealty: Never, never. I despise that actually. I just don't understand that world. We just fell into theater, and I did because I'm a singer, really. It was a rock and roll show, so they needed some rock and roll singers. But it was fun. It was a blast... and here we are.
POWERLINE A.D.: This is a different route for an L.A. band to form. And strange thing is, I didn't think you guys look or sound like the average L.A. band? When I found out you were formed in L.A., it surprised me.
Stacey Quinealty: That's interesting, you know. That's interesting to hear you say that. We really pride ourselves on doing our own thing, and being very different from other bands out here, because you're right, you know, L.A. bands do have an L.A. sound.
POWERLINE A.D.: The cover of Danzig's "Mother" is an interesting choice for the new album. Were you heavily influenced by Danzig?
Stacey Quinealty: No, not really heavily influenced by Danzig. Although I have a tremendous amount of respect for him, and the song "Mother" just happened to be that one song that we could make our own style to without destroying his song. I was real adamant about not destroying someone's song. We went through thousands of songs over the past years and I just kept saying no... until "Mother, and we said, that's it. But still staying true to the original, which is tough to do.
POWERLINE A.D.: When you say "we went through thousands," do you mean testing many (cover) songs live?
Stacey Quinealty: No, just tossing them around. The band really wanted to do a cover because we never did a cover, not even live.
POWERLINE A.D.: When you decided to call the new album The Bull, did that comprise of a seize the day type of message, you know, take the bull by the horns... ?
Stacey Quinealty: I think most of our albums are about the struggle of life, and I think The Bull kind of sums it all up. The Bull, to me, is the hypothetical answer to all these questions or concerns that you may have in life. Which is really just saying you have to keep moving forward. You might get cut, you might get stabbed, you might fall, or whatever, but you have to keep moving forward. It's really a symbol more than a title. You have to be strong and move through these hard times. We often feel we are in the worst times in the history of the world and we're just not, you know.
POWERLINE A.D.: You do have a positive way of looking at life. Even in hardship you feel the individual can overcome. In fact, I was reading a quote from you the other day where you said: "If you learn to accept yourself, you will learn to accept others. This in turn will disallow negative thoughts to exist and therefore you will live your life at Level C 9."*
Stacey Quinealty: We're so quick to bring negative connotations onto people, and talk negative about people, and find all the negative things about people, and we only do that to make ourselves feel better. And it is so temporary. If you just learn who you really are, you learn to accept yourself, then others, and that can be called some sort of enlightenment these days. The minute you start to accept yourself, and have peace with your inner self, everything kind of lightens up and that other negative stuff is just not that important anymore. If people could somehow collectively get on the same plane and see that life can be much better than all this negative energy that we are actually creating. We are actually creating this. It doesn't even exist.
We really play on the positive side of things, and not the negative side of things. It may seem dark at times but it really says if you can get past this (the negative), you can achieve something.
POWERLINE A.D.: With all the categories set in rock nowadays, you seem to push the boundaries in your music, past any set category...
Stacey Quinealty: We really — and I say this with 100% truth — just try to stay true to our selves. And that's it. The only person I really have to please — on a creative level — is my self. Nobody can tell me how to write songs.
POWERLINE A.D.: Do you find Carbon 9 more of a performance band, than a studio band?
Stacey Quinealty: We are a live performance band, because we have a theatrical show. Our show is basically, bam, bam, bam, there's no talking or tuning guitars... And the basis of our show is about the advancement of technology bringing on the decline of humanity.
POWERLINE A.D.: A warning?
Stacey Quinealty: Yeah. It used to be if you stepped away and went to the grocery store, or the park, you were gone, unavailable; now, everybody's accessible 100% of the time, we have no inner peace. If someone wants to contact you, they can Google your name, they find you on Facebook...
POWERLINE A.D.: And there is now a push to put GPS systems in all cell phones. Then you can actually see on Facebook where your "friend" is at all times. Constantly wired into the grid.
Stacey Quinealty: And that's terrible. I'm going back to a pager if that's the case. I don't want everyone to know where I am all the time... Grant it, here I am, in a studio with three apple laptops, eight hard drives, all networked with my iPhone, but I feel like I have permission to say all this (criticism) because I am being tied in.
If my house were to burn down, I wouldn't grab a photo book anymore, I would grab a hard drive, and that's freaky. Because with a photo book I can look at it anywhere, right away. The hard drive, I might not be able to look at it for some time after a disaster.
The contradictory thing of ours show is that the show has heavy technology... we use synchronized video, we use all these machines with live cameras and computers on-stage. Our message is, you have to use technology as a tool, but you can't open your heart to technology, it's not a soul. It's not a living breathing thing that people should give themselves to. And I feel a lot of these kids today are going to hate themselves in twenty years when they are trying to have a real life. We need to use technology to our advantage, not to run our lives.
* To live your life at the highest possible level.

lassic brands
Classic brands for the younger age that are the popular clothing brands would be discount jimmy choo shoes, cheap manolo blahnik shoes, cheap herve leger dress and cheap moncler jackets. These are a bit high-profile for teenagers (they can get pricey) but they have become a staple for that "all-American" look that so many teenagers are into these days. They started the torn jeans and layered shirt looks that so many people today wear.Louis Vuitton
Other popular clothing brands that are driven towards the teenagers and young adults are those like christian louboutin discount, buy louboutin shoes, Cheap Christian Louboutin, canada goose and other skater and motocross related styles. They have all kinds of styles, but tend to be more moderately priced and are therefore more appealing, Chanel
making them popular with those who want to look good but not break the bank.
