Metal Mike & The Montalion: How did the touring go for M!SS Crazy this past year overall, both venue wise and crowd wise?

Markus of M!SS Crazy: It went great. We hit 152 shows across the USA! We played for fans that wanted us. We planted the seeds in places normal bands would not tour. We made some great new friends. The band has let all the people who thought we couldn�t do it, know that we can. We are for real.... it�s only the beginning. The new CD will show what we got for 2008! Look at all the pictures in the cities we played. They speak for themselves. Check our website or myspace page.

Metal Mike & The Montalion: With a new CD on the way, other than the obivious and good sales, what kind of impact do you expect to make with this package of hard rock music?

Markus of M!SS Crazy: We have a new deal on the table. The new CD and the last one, will have bigger avenues all across the world and the rockers that love what we do will be able to get our music. We have the biggest underground following out there, for a real hard rock band from the 2000 era.

Metal Mike & The Montalion: Are there any conceptional thoughts that go into the making of your new CD? Is each song individual and unique?

Markus of M!SS Crazy: It has alot of meaning and heart behind it... and it has everything this band should give for a 2nd CD. Rockers, heavy tunes, ballads.. We want to be around for a long time. We will do the CDs that rockers want. We are our influences!! We take the best of all the bands we love and write our music in that arena-rock style. We love that era!!

Metal Mike & The Montalion: About how many songs are going to be on the new CD?

Markus of M!SS Crazy: It should have 12 to 13 songs.

Metal Mike & The Montalion: Any song inpaticular that kicks exceptional ass
that we should be looking for?

Markus of M!SS Crazy: Yes. All of them. I like love them all, and some hit real hard. Hard in the gut. Some songs are real personal.. some say everything my heart was feeling. Lots of emotion. Some heavy riffs to add. I like "Mow" and "Livin� Without You."

Metal Mike & The Montalion: What have you been up to other than making music? Have you seen any killer concerts lately, or bought any cool CDs?

Markus of M!SS Crazy: I got some new CDs: AC/DC "Flick Or The Switch," Britney�s new CD, that new Zeppelin one, the first Tesla, Hard Rock Superstar, Crash Diet, Dirty Penny.. So I�m checking those out! Been watching footbal! Eli fuckiing Manning! Omg! He is so killer! What a star!! Watching T.V. again. Watching soaps. Hot chicks on "One Life To Live" lol.. no concerts.. sick of that.

Metal Mike & The Montalion: I presume a tour will follow the release of your new music. With that said any overseas dates in your near future or is stateside your venue of choice?

Markus of M!SS Crazy: American/Canada tour is starting late May. Over seas will follow. Our new label is in Germany and they have big European distribution, so we will come to the UK and Australia. I love those fans over there. I have friends there that I can not wait to play for!!

Metal Mike & The Montalion: In your opinion Markus, how�s the chemistry and
focus of the new line up? And can we expect to see this current line up for several CDs ?

Markus of M!SS Crazy: We will see. You never know. I just wanna rock and whoever believes in it with me... will do everything that it takes to keep rocking for everyone, every place!! I know I can do it!! I like what�s going on.. we rock!

Metal Mike & The Montalion: What is the most important thing you have learned
about the music business so far?

Markus of M!SS Crazy: It�s not easy.. You need a band. You need to be good. You need to have songs. You have to record songs. You have to make a CD.. You have to get fans that want that CD.. Then you have to get a label. Then you have to get money. Then you need to tour non-stop.. Do that and see how good you are!! But we are doing it and are grateful for the fans across the world who support us!
