well we are going thruthe whole catalog of Dropoutz,BSD, Strange Daze stuff and we cant decide what songs should be redone ...... so with ur help maybe we can figure out what ones to redo .... and if u Pick Trash Magazine .... That is Kia BLacks song so with permission from him ... and if he would like to come to the studio and lay tracks for it with us ... the offer is there .... so help us out Guys ....Thanks Mikki
I'll submit a list, but I can say this much:
We on this board, for the most part, love bubblegum stuff. Stuff like "Beauty School Dropoutz", "Babydoll", "I Do I Do" and "Pogo A GoGo" are all great...the darker stuff like "The Real You" is not what we would want on the cd. I for one would love a cd full of bubblgum anthems about lollipops, hairspray, and lipstick...Nothing serious and dark, just young, colorful, and FUN!!!
Sandi
I agree with Sandi there. I loved The Dropoutz for the candy coated bubblegum glampunk sound.
Songs i would pick to be redone would be:
1:Beauty School Dropoutz
2:What.(Is that the title? Can't remember offhand)
3:I'm In Love With A Vampire
4:Jerry Springer.(Maybe a full new version and a longer version at that? I frigging LOVED that song! I know it worked as just a little short tune, but i don't know... maybe throw a solo in there along with another verse because the song rocked so much? heh!)
Hope to hear some more new stuff soon!!
How bout just redo them all? LOL!
No, seriously, I haven't heard Strange Daze, so don't know on that, but I do think you should do "Trash Magazine". I'm sure Marky Glam will have a list for you, and I agree with what Sandi said. The bubblegummier the better. I evidently need to hear "I do I do","Babydoll", "Yesterday", and "Groupie Girl"
All these sound up my alley.
While on this topic, maybe I can figure out exactly what I have. I have these songs, titled
The Droputs '95 on tape:
Trash Magazine
What?
Jerry Springer
Fatal Attraction
Pogo A Go Go
I don't really wanna
Beauty School Dropouts
I'm in Love w/ a Vampire
I only wanna be w/ you
Row Your Boat
ABC Song
Is that The Dropoutz? Or is that Beauty School Dropouts? And who sang on it? Then, what other ones are there? Mikki mentioned a 3 tx demo that Punky sang on. What's on that? I thought this one was Punky, but I don't know. It also sounds like I need to hear the Strange Daze stuff (supposed to be poppier?), and Mikki, did Yellowbrick Roadkill ever have a demo?
I'm assuming so, since this was reported in the news of this very zine years ago:
Drew and Tori (both formerly of Spiral Fetish) have a new band - YellowBrick Roadkill - together with Mikki Twist (Ex. Dropoutz). All three used to spread glamour around NY as Sikk Sexx five years ago. The New material is more pop than previously.
Anything to clear it all up would be great.
Thanks.
Dan i too have that collection and i think that is Mikki Twist singing on there. I could be wrong though, but i'm sure it'z what i heard ages ago.
I also have the 3 song demo (Beauty School Dropout, Jerry Springer and that ABC song) and that was Punky singing on.

so I guess I've never heard the Punky versions.
was it BSD w/ Punky, then The Dropoutz w/ Mikki on vox?
Thanks for the Response's people...... Okay The Tabloid Demo was Me singing on it .... Punky Just sang on the BSD 3 song demo ...and as far as Yellowbrick Roadkill that got way of hand .... i went down for one practice that was it ... i was gonna sing and play drums( Just a idea at the time) but decided that its not what i wanna do .... so it ended after that practice ... so there was never a YellowBrick RoadKill.... but on the new disc there will be a mixture of Pop and Heavier stuff in the vein of like the wildhearts or the Ex Idols ....then also my roots of growing up the 50's was always blasting in my house ..... we are also considering doing some 50-60s covers(have any Ideas for us?) so be patient im sure u will be happy with what we put out ....remember no matter how pretty u paint a trash can its will always be a trash can ... so u know the New Stuff will be Ear Candy.....! Thanks Guys Mikki
Hey Mikki... i love all that 50s and 60s too! How about doing a cover of Paul Anka's Diana? That song would work a fucking treat in the style of The Dropoutz!
.. or how about something by Dion & The Belmonts? [img]smile.gif[/img]
hey everyone,
great to hear that the dropoutz are back...i for one will continue to listen to their tunez, while i prepare my new project THE HOPELESS, and invite all DROPOUTZ fanz to listen to THE HOPELESS, which have just finished recording the debut 10 song CD , a blend of punk/rock n' roll, loud and loose.........anyway, after recieving an invitation to do some studio work with THE DROPOUTZ on a rerecording of "Trash Mag" , i once again look forward to working with what i consider my musical brothers......an' for everyone's clarification...the name is KIRA, not "Kia"......see all soon.....Kenny "Kira" !@#$
Sorry Kenny .... My girl wants a Kia so maybe i have that on the brain ....lol ...yes his name is Kira ....sorry once again ...and i wanna hear yr new shit man ....always liked ur writting .... if u have samples let me hear...u know where to find me ...Mikki
Andii here are some songs we are considering cause of my voice .... Crimson and Glover,I Wonder Why,Donna,We Go Together( From Grease),and maybe some old beatles tones .... noone really touches the beatles so i think we should ....be a first ...and Smash was talking about Paying Tribute to some of the bands that influenced us ...like PBF,BangTango,LaGuns,Motley,NYDolls,and i also have songs that i wrote when i was in Sikk Sexx that havent seen the light of day so ... Its all up in the air .... but whatever we come up with from ur help ...it will be great ...Mikki

I'M TOTALLY AGREE WITH SANDI WITH MY PREFERENCE ON THE CANDYCOATED BUBBLEGUM SIDE!!! THE SONGS BABYDOLL, I DO I DO I DO , YESTERDAY AND GROUPIE GIRLS (ALSO BEING ONLY REHEARSAL SESSIONS) ARE SOME OF THE BEAUTIFUL SONGS I CAN REMEMBER!!! WOULD BE A PLEASURE IF YA CAN REDO 'EM!!! IN THE CASE YA NEED THE SONGS I CAN SEND' EM TO YA MIKKI!!! ALSO THE FULLY TABLOID IS AWESOME!!! NOT TOO MANY DIFFERENCES IN MY OPINION BEWTEEN PUNKY AND MIKKI'S VERSIONS FOR THOSE 3 TABLOID'S SONGS!!!
Nice cover choices there Mikki!! I actually wanted to do We Go Together from Grease once too, but i wanted to get it done with as many glam musicians as possible from various unsigned bands as a sort of united anthem thing. It never came off lol!
All the best Mikki, oh and Marc, i think it is the same Smash yes. I may be wrong on this but i think it is.
