In this lively segment from FN White People, hosts Harry and Brandy, along with their guest Matt Flohr (from Misplaced Punk Show, Dr. Strigories' Gruesome Tunes, and Monster Maniacs), delve into the darker side of music with a focus on Matt's "Dr. Strigori's Gruesome Tunes" podcast. They define the genre as horror-centric music, including horror punk, horror surf, and horror metal, name-dropping bands like Rob Zombie and White Zombie.
The conversation takes a humorous turn as they discuss local Nashville band The Boo Dudes and their comedic horror schtick, including a song titled "Dracula Got A DUI." They ponder whether GWAR fits into the category (leaning towards no, despite their insanity) and reminisce about the late original singer's outrageous stage presence.
The discussion then shifts to bands that mimic GWAR, like Max Abbath, and the hilarious Ned Flanders-themed band Oakley Dokley. Matt clarifies that mainstream shock rockers like Marilyn Manson don't quite fit his "Gruesome Tunes" genre due to the lack of genuine horror themes, emphasizing bands in the vein of the old-school Misfits.
Matt shares some of his favorite "Gruesome Tunes" bands, including Rebel Flesh (known for their song about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre), The Dahmers, and Los Muertes. They briefly touch on Danzig and Type O Negative's place in the genre.
The conversation veers into the surprising inspiration Ed Gein provided for horror punk and pop culture, leading to a tangent about Jeffrey Dahmer's disturbing history. Matt lists his top 5 "Gruesome Tunes" bands, and they discuss his Ed Gein-themed cover art for the podcast.
Finally, they touch upon Matt's third podcast, Monster Maniacs, which is more movie-focused horror content, and briefly discuss the surprising punk undertones of the movie "A Bug's Life" in its anti-establishment themes.
