Devil Music & the Record Machine

What a catchy title, right?!

I thought so, too, and wanted to know more about another great Sinful Lilly song.

Sinful Lilly debuted this song at an after-party show earlier this month. Their music is saturated with rock influences spanning the entire history of rock, and include but are not limited to KISS, Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie.



In a phone conversation with Fredi, he gave me a detailed account of how he thought of this song.

Unlike most songwriting developments, Fredi thought of the title before the lyrics, writing "around the title." He had in mind some similar to W.A.S.P.'s "Love Machine"   He wanted something with a "groove" and a Zombie-esque sound. The result: Record Machine.

Ah!  The thrilling days of yesteryear, the days when you had a record player and rock & roll music was king, with apologies to ELO.  And parents of young teenagers were afraid they would be corrupted by "devil's music."

{Gasp}

That's when Fredi came up with the entire title "Devil Music and the Record Machine"-before the lyrics.  Furthermore, he thought of an idea for a music video before any words were on paper.

The setting is in the 1960s-"Way down by the hollow tree"-and a girl plays a Beatles record.  Note the song Fredi refers to.

A flashback of the most revolutionary time in music history, brought to you by Sinful Lilly.
