To Traci...
I met Traci back in 1994. At that time, I was living in Hollywood, had a job on Hollywood Blvd. Traci used to live on Wilcox, I used to see him every day, when he was on his way to get food for his lunch, he always asked me if I needed something. Didn't have alot of money, and Traci brought me food quite a few times. At that time, Traci was in Heart Throb Mob, "Hit List" was already released. One night, Lonnie from HTM came to my appartment on Yucca with a bass, proposed me to join HTM as a bassist, wanted me to dye my hair black; I declined since I was already thinking about starting UNDERCOVER SLUT in L.A. Most week-ends, I hung out with Traci in Van Nuys at that Hanky Panky/Revolution Hazy warehouse with all that L.A. Glam/Punk community. Those parties were fun! Saw Traci play the Roxy w/HTM. Great show! Finally came back to Paris and formed UCS the following year, then came back and forth every single year to this day. I always kept in touch with Traci, saw him form Candy Apple Queens, Glamvestite Vampirez and of course Peppermint Creeps. Traci was an excellent drummer, 'A' class drummer in my book, a very passionate person with an extremely positive attitude. Never heard him saying bad things about someone. I remember going to Kinko's on Sunset with him and Bianca, helping him making flyers for his shows. I remember both of us applying make-up together in different hotel rooms. I remember lunchs, dinners with him. Rainbow, R'N'R Dennys, AM/PM, El Compadre, etcetera... I remember his low voice, very low voice. I remember him laughing! I remember those Glam Rock nights at the Teaszer with Rebel Rebel, Revlon Red, Spiders & Snakes, etc... I remember going to Club Make Up with him. I used to trade Glam stuff with him, bringing him CD's from European Glam bands and him giving me US Glam Rock. Traci knew alot about Glam Rock, he loved Glam as much as I do. We both grew up on a diet of Mötley Crüe/Hanoi Rocks and were collecting everything we could on Glam. Traci didn't give a fuck about trends! He was 100% integrity, hardcore Glam image & attitude. Traci opted for the bubblegum Glam/Visuel Key vibe, while I chosed the Shock Rock side. I always had alot of respect for what he was doing. A couple years ago, we were supposed to play with the Creeps in NYC, it didn't happen unfortunately. Last year, a show in Vegas was planned, didn't happen either. Finally we played the Inland Empire w/the Creeps last fall. I was very happy to finally play a show w/Traci's band after all those years. After that show, some asshole tried to rape Fake in the club's restrooms, I remember Traci ready to fight. I also remember that early morning breakfast with Traci, Fake, Lexa & Jasmine on our way back to Hollywood. As always, Traci was fun to be around. Last time I saw him was in Paris last January, Drag booked them a show at some club, we all went to the Eurostar station to meet them, went to a Subway, Traci was so happy to be in Europe, his first time here. I was so happy for him too. Met all of 'em the day after at the Eiffel Tower, took some pictures, then went to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. Divine, Drag, Marlene O and some close friends were there. Traci was sitting next to me, we talked about this and that, had a good time that night. Then we all left, said goodbye to eachother on a subway station. Everything seemed cool! Of course, I didn't know it was the last time I would see him. Then a few days later, I heard they were all deported from the U.K. for not having appropriate visas for their British tour. I was fuckin' pissed off and sad for 'em all, knowing all their hard work and expectations for that tour. Anyways, weeks went by, and then I heard they were going on another U.S. Tour, that last one. Was happy to hear it, not surprised though, knowing how much dedication and drive Traci had for his band. We opened for The Damned in Paris last friday night, sold-out show, few minor problems, but finally ended up as a killer show. Went back home early saturday morning, checked my e-mails and discovered the sad news, my friend Traci was dead! I couldn't believe it, then I realized it wasn't a bad dream, was fuckin' shocked, couldn't cry at first, then cried last night, and quite alot earlier today! Traci, I will never forget you, I believe in Karma, I strongly do, and I believe you deserve way better next life... R.I.P. Traci.

Two Thousand Hate
January 1st, Two Thousand Hate.
2K7 is dead! Let's make love to Two Thousand Hate!
Undoubtly, 2K7 has been the highlight in the UNDERCOVER SLUT rollercoaster biography.
Divine, Drag, Fake and I, have been definitely blessed this past year.
Gracing that legendary Whisky A Go Go stage in West Hollywood... Entering, recording and mixing "Amerikkka Macht Frei" at that multi-millionnaire recording studio on those Hollywood hills... Meeting and working with the finest people in both New York City and Los Angeles... All of these unique experiences gave us unforgettable memories that words cannot simply describe. Dreams, fantasies and vows became real. It feels so fuckin' nice, believe me.
Two Thousand Hate will be the year of "Amerikkka Macht Frei"!
"Amerikkka Macht Frei" is that highly anticipated UCS forthcoming album you have all been waiting for.
Probably one of the biggest Shock Rock album of all times, if not, THE BIGGEST! Thirteen (13) tracks of Industrial/Glam/Metal/Punk/Rock assault on all of your senses, nicely married with offensive lyrical work that will redefine Shock Rock for ever. The envelope has been pushed way further than ever before...
Shocking has always been my business... and business is so fuckin' good! Not to forget a huge killer production process and amazing results.
Tonight is my opportunity to wish you all the very best in Two Thousand Hate! Wishing you all health and happiness, love and lust, creativity and progress, etcetera and vice versa...
To all UCS haters, please stay healthy! Jealousy is a disease, some kinda fuckin' cancer. Be very careful, your hate towards us grows inside of you, it is going to eat you alive. Stay fuckin' alive! I personally care about all of our publicists. I really do.
And to all of my dear friends, fiends and fanatics: I simply admire your generosity. Thank you for being present whenever I need you.

WEDNESDAY 13 + UNDERCOVER SLUT = bill of the year?
WEDNESDAY 13 + UNDERCOVER SLUT alive at Paris' red light district's Locomotive on May Day!
Obviously, a dream bill come true for quite alot of people. Bill of the year? Probably yes! Fans loved both bands' sounds and image so much.
We came all the way from the Midlands to see that demented show, so did other "foreigners" from Great Britain, Netherlands, Italy, Spain and even Japan! Three brand new UCS songs ("Anna Nicole Smith" with its awesome hooks, "Coroner Saves!" geniuses lyrics & "Alpha Bitch" huge groove) were introduced to that crazy crowd! Mean mosh pit & shaky stage divers made that show a fuckin' success! 'O''s stage presence was as PHENOMENAL as ever, screaming his heart out & strutting that stage like the fuckin' star he already is! Divine proved himself a killer guitarist with awesome songwriting skills. Drag is a real madman, who even threw away his bass to that hungry crowd, provoking a riot! Fake is definitely the best drummer ever to sit behind UCS's drum kit! Their "White Whore" era vibe is totally ACE! Mark my words, that UCS era is fuckin' brilliant!
Cheers to 'O', Divine, Drag and Fake for that insane band that is UNDERCOVER SLUT! YOU LADS ARE TRUE STARS!
Graham.
PS: England misses you! When will you be touring over here?

Killer 2-page UNDERCOVER SLUT interview in UK's Metal Hammer magazine!
UNDERCOVER SLUT going mainstream in the UK?
Judging on all the support showed and received on a daily basis from UCS hardcore British fanatics, there is definitely something strong going on between "Paris' most hated" and some of Her Majesty's most depraved citizens.
Read some great UCS dirt from that biggest selling metal magazine ever: UK's one-and-only Metal Hammer.
Awesome 2-page interview with 'O' published in Metal Hammer's latest issue (April 2007) available now from all newsagents all across the United Kingdom, and all over the world as an import publication.
UCS loves the UK to death!

UNDERCOVER SLUT London show rave reviews.
UNDERCOVER SLUT London Show Review, 23/12/2006:
As soon as UNDERCOVER SLUT climbed up onstage, floods of people rushed to get to the front of the stage from their seats. Then, as the sound started, it echoed through everyone's minds as we all felt the beginning of the White Whore Era let it's presence known - pulsating through every surgical flow of blood. Sweat oozed from pores as the masses danced to every beat they heard. 'O' presided over the stage and looked fantastic as he jumped off it and then stood on top of the bar, looking down at a mass of glitter, false eyelashes, aroused eyes and lipstick smiles. Flashes of light came from many angles from the cameras capturing the visuals which were bestowed upon us. The visuals were as amazing as the music, each member of UNDERCOVER SLUT prettier than drugs, and far more beautiful than decadence or vulgarity. The new line-up was perfect to fill in the gaps which UNDERCOVER SLUT was previously missing... bringing in a whole new atmosphere of iridescence, and adding more onto that dirty glamour image. I was right up at the front dancing, my eyes burning into each band member as they completely took over the stage as well as the audience. Feeling water dripping down me as 'O' poured it into the crowd like the music poured into our ears, I danced until I ached - and when I ached it only made me dance more. When it was over, there was a massive cheer and many screams, but there was also a sense of silence from everyone - no-one really knew what to do for that first minute or so after the music had stopped, as though we were waiting for an encore - but when Camden Rock Café staff jumped onstage to tidy things up, we knew it was over. UNDERCOVER SLUT got off to return to their drinks and for lots of photos with people. Everyone wanted more, and so all are currently waiting in anticipation for the White Whores to step on UK grounds once again. Definitely one of my favourite gigs in a long long while.

The REAL Nightmare Before Christmas
UNDERCOVER SLUT + ToYBoX + Livid = One hell of a fukkkin' show!
Bit of a mixed atmosphere in the Camden Rock Café on December 23rd - a lot of different reasons for showing up - the people, it was their staple bar, and obviously, the bands. By the end of the night, I'd imagine a lot of them now are gonna move to France.
Livid were pretty unknown - Sleaze Rock with a hint of Goth; what The Darkness might have been like, had they been any good with different influences. A luke warm reception, due mostly to not that many people having turned up by this point.
ToYBoX - by the time this deranged foursome made it onto the stage, the crowd had certainly filled out and were waiting for something spectacular - they fukkkin' got it. Bass like a dying hearthrob, guitars like a real screaming banshee aircrew, drums just plain noise pollution and vocals like a 6-year-old raped on acid. By the end, everyone was dancing and vocals/bass Alice made one of the more successful leaps into the crowd I've seen in such a venue.
UNDERCOVER SLUT - when I saw UNDERCOVER SLUT for the first time at the Underworld, 13 months previously, I thought they were one of the best and original acts in the scene today. By the end of The REAL Nightmare Before Christmas, I fukkkin' knew it. Opening with the killer track "Darling Darling", everyone instantly got into thing and those who hadn't known the mighty SLUT before that night got the message straight away: we were about to get audially raped by a beautiful gang of French psychopaths and love it. Jumping straight into "Ecstasia In Our Enema", afterwards, the playing and singing style only increased in sultry violence and by the time "narcOtics/cOsmetics" came along, everyone there had decided which member to dream of fukking, all hands grabbing for 'O' as he made his way through the crowd to tell us all that "misery masks for broken hearts, my messy world's falling apart" from atop the bar. What I may love both about this band while live is that, not only are all the songs brilliantly played, but there's a million times the energy of the already highly energetic recordings - the vocals seem more distorted and abusive, the instruments seem to have been designed solely to be destroyed, but with a great fukkkin' riff played on them at the same time and the songs themselves come one after the other with basically no intervention - there's no stopping for breath allowed with this band and it really does give the feeling of the best sex of your life. All too soon, "JimJonesWasSoFUCKINGRight" attacked our ears and UNDERCOVER SLUT decided it was time to go - a brilliant outro, with a wave of distortion we were all hoping for and everyone were desperate for more. "COME BACK SOON" was definitely in the air.
So, any disappointments? I guess two - the first, no "Daddy's Little CUNT" but oh well - can't have 'em all every time. The second? UNDERCOVER SLUT were so fukkkin' good, it made the time go by as though theirs was the shortest set.
Seriously guys, don't wait another year to come back to London - you just gained even more hardcore fans.
