J-How about a reunion..? any plans? even just to record some stuff..
S-No, No & maybe. There are a few old tracks from 1992 that never got finished.
No vocals but everything else. I'm trying to locate them and If I do, I plan
to record my vocals and possibly release them. .
J-now..onward...when and why did tuff finally call it a day?
S-On November 18th 1995 in Cleveland Ohio Tuff was laid to rest. Like I said
early, It was just time to move on.
J-and since then you have released a solo album, whats that cd like for someone who
hasnt heard it?
S-My debut solo CD Stevie Rachelle "Who the Hell am I?" is kinda mellow compared
to Tuff. Its like a Brian Adams or John Cougar sounding CD. Very acoustic,
all american type songs. I also did a piano & strings version of the Tuff song
"So Many Seasons". There are some sound samples of it at the site.
J-What gives you ideas for your songs?
S-Life. I'm usually influenced by things around me. Family, friends, my dogs
and situations.
J-you also did a side project as a joke and ended up doing well..cheeseheads w/attitude...tell
us about that...
S-Its basically a Weird Al kinda thing. We do parody songs. Someone elses hit
song and our new lyrics. Very cool & very funny. We sound like The Beastie Boys
I guess. Go visit the site and check it out
.J-how many cds have you released w/them?
S-C.W.A. has released 3 CDs & 1 Home Video. Also The Trailer Park Posse has
released 1 CD.
