This months interview...I'm so excited about...
(but I'm starting to feel like Rikki from Headbangers Ball..
cause I say every band is my favorite band.. lol)
anyway.. its Stephen Shareaux! former singer for Kik Tracee...see I do listen to what you people want..
and I tracked him down.. and forced him to talk about the old days...
BUT.. it gets better.. he's in a new band... 
and the stuff is amazing! you will not be disappointed!
any fan of Stephens MUST have this... ok.. ok.. enuff of me...time for Da Man!

J-First we gotta start from the beginning….back in the day.. you sang for Kik Tracee…How did you hook up with the guys?
S-I had come out here to Los Angeles from Minneapolis in '87 and played around the scene with a couple of bands and got pretty tired of the whole thing about ready to head back home when I picked up a Music Connection magazine and called an ad that Gregory had placed and the rest is history.
 

J-How long were you together before you got signed…?
S-We were together about a year and half before we got signed to RCA in 1989. 

J-How did you all get along? Any fighting?
S-We got on quite well actually, there was definitely the same desire shared by all to make the best music we could.  I was known for some blowouts but never any fists flying just real passionate about what I'm doing.

J-Ok..now I gotta ask.. sooo many rumors are going around…about the first cd…did the band really play on it? Or was it studio guys?
S-Let's put the rumors to death, every track on the "No Rules" CD was played by each member in the band with the exception of a couple of drum triggers and samples everything was played live.
 

J-How was Dana Strum to work w/as a producer?
S-I personally learned a lot from Dana, he really helped us in areas where I thought we needed it such as song arrangements and tones.  In retrospect I think we were very young and impressionable kids with dreams of rock and roll stardom being given advice from a lot of different people, not necessarily all good.

J-What was the biggest crowd you've ever played for? And where?
S-I think the biggest was RIP Party at the Palladium in LA.  I'll never forget it, we were peaking on the scene and people were definitely out to see us and we rocked.

J-What was your favorite tour you guys did?and why?
S-The first tour we did was the best, we had the bus, a good buzz on the street, and people were excited to see the band, all the bells and whistles.  Plus there's nothing like going back home and pulling into town in your own tour bus, that made it for me.

J-Whats the craziest thing a fan has ever done to meet you? We want juicy stories!
S-You know I don't have anything too juicy, all my fans have been very cool and
 personable and I've had great pleasure in meeting each and every one of you.
 

Onto what happens next for Stephen..
