Former Marilyn Manson drummer Chris Vrenna heads on tour with KingDoom

Chris Vrenna spent decades working with some of the biggest names in rock music,imitation oyster perpetual datejust rolex, mostly within the confines of a major label system that no longer exists.

"Man, I miss the '90s sometimes," Vrenna said with a laugh. "But you can sit around and bitch about it, or you can figure out a way to tackle what music is today."

Today's marketplace is defined by its lack of definition which isn't necessarily a bad thing, Vrenna said. With the old music biz business model now a thing of the past, he's happy to work on projects that interest him, independent or otherwise. Industrial leaning Edmonton group KingDoom fits the bill perfectly.

Vrenna, 46,imitation rolex datejust 2, will put his considerable drum talent on display beginning Monday in Victoria when KingDoom steps out on its first national tour.

He has been rehearsing with KingDoom for the past week, which is good news for everyone involved, the drummer admitted.

"The last time I played live was in Paris at the end of Marilyn Manson's tour on Dec. 22, 2009," he said.

"I've been in the studio the last two years, so it will be nice to get out, that's for sure."

The involvement of Vrenna has done a lot to sell the tour thus far. The Pennsylvania native co founded Nine Inch Nails, recorded and toured with Marilyn Manson, toured with Smashing Pumpkins and remixed U2. He even joined a reconstituted Guns 'N Roses, albeit briefly.

There are plenty of projects Vrenna could be working on, including the forthcoming KingDoom album he has been writing with singer Lex Justice.

But touring with KingDoom presented him with a unique opportunity: playing electronic drums beside and with KingDoom drummer Greg Ross, who will be playing acoustic drums during their set.

"We'll be performing the programmed elements that I did on the album live with two drummers. Truthfully, that's something I've never done in my entire career."

Vrenna has compiled an impressive list of achievements in his career. In addition to winning a Grammy Award as a member of Nine Inch Nails, which he joined in 1988, he spent nearly a decade as a key member of Marilyn Manson's band.

He also assembled a list of credits as a producer, mixer and engineer that includes recordings by David Bowie, Metallica, Hole, Nelly Furtado and Meat Loaf, among others.

Vrenna met the members of KingDoom through a shared friendship with the late Bill Kennedy, an engineer who worked with Vrenna and Nine Inch Nails. Kennedy brought Vrenna to Edmonton to work on drum programming for KingDoom's debut, and the relationship blossomed.

"Touring is so hard, with the amount of travel and set up and performing. If I didn't love these guys, I probably wouldn't do it," Vrenna said. "You've got to have fun."

Vancouver's HMP Recordings is helping to facilitate the new tour first model Vrenna is big on these days. HMP offers complete label services, such as management, grant writing, radio tracking and publicity, for acts who have yet to break out on a national level. Tickets for both events are $20.

That's the way artists should be thinking about their careers today, Vrenna said. Too many are waiting for fame to come to them, when they should be grabbing it for themselves.

"The way we did it with Nine Inch Nails back in 1989 was to get in a van, drive around America and play clubs,rolex datejust oyster imitation," he said.

"We met fans, then we built a fan base, and when that fan base became loyal,rolex oyster perpetual datejust stainless steel imitation, they bought our records and went to see us live. That's kind of the way it has to go back to.
