HYPER CRUSH INTERVIEW
Hyper Crush is a Los Angeles electro band who got together in early 2006. Since then, they’ve toured with everyone from Lady Gaga to Kevin Rudolf, received a record deal from Universal Motown, and remixed some of the hottest singles on the chart into electro club bangers. Recently we at OHH! SO FAMOUS! sat down with Donny, Holly, and Preston and asked them a few questions.

What was the best tour memory you guys have?
One time in Tulsa,Oklahoma Preston got attacked by an elderly gypsy woman/man freak. It was just another day on tour in the middle of nowhere. We stopped in this really creepy shopping center because Preston had to use the bathroom. He goes into this store called simply “Bazzar” and quickly comes back out. He looks like he just saw a ghost. He tells us to come in the check this store out. We all proceed to enter this store with camera in hand. The lady working there was fresh out of “The Hills Have Eyes”. She seemed to be some sort of man beast. She was not pleased with us filming and proceeded to attack Preston about the neck and shoulders. She had long dangerous nails and was chasing poor Pres around the store. We made it out alive but is one of the freakier episodes we’ve had on the road.
If u try to fail, and succeed, which have u done?
You’ve succeeded at being lucky.
What gear do you guys use for production and how does that change for live performances?
We do all our shit in Logic and a lil in Ableton Live on a computer of course. Mostly all of the instruments and plug ins are software and are easy to transport wherever we go. Definitely easier touring and traveling for us than a rock band or a group with a lot of traditional instruments.
If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional. with whom would it be?
Goku from Dragon Ball Z.
What does Tron, Andy Samburg, and Luke Skywalker have to do with your music?
Not much.

Who’s on your iTunes playlist right now?
Donny: All I have Listened to for the passed few months is 70′s Folk Singer/Songwriter stuff. John Denver, James Taylor, Harry Nilsson, Cat Stevens, Van Morrison.
Preston: Skrillex, Ghost of Saber Tooth Tiger, Bassnector, Brian Jonestown Massacre, My Chemical Romance.
Holly: Yelle, Janet Jackson, Big L, Aretha Franklin, Morrissey.
I’ve been watching alot of the Misfits lately so I have to ask, if you had a super power, what would you want your superpower to be?
Going back to the Goku thing, to teleport would be awesome. Could put that to good use. Visit different galaxies and what not.
Best advice you can give to a new artist for succeeding in the music industry?
Figure out exactly what you want to do first and foremost. Once you got that figured out just start grinding non stop.
I read a previous interview where you mentioned the wacky and crazy part of Lady Gaga being part of her act and image. Do you think it’s more difficult for an artist to have people believe the illusion of who they are, rather than who they actually are?
Well we don’t know her well enough to know if anything she is doing is an act or not. I think people right now wanna see shocking things and they thrive on drama. I don’t think there are too many truly crazy artists out there right now. People I think definitely like the idea of a crazy ass super star but those are few and far between.
