Seven Days Lost: It’s a hour long, Hard Rock / Metal based music show with interviews
and features on National touring acts as well as local artists. We have had some pretty big
bands on the show like Godsmack, Motorhead, Poison, Faster Pussycat, Disturbed,
Megadeth, Kamelot, Nightwish, Killswitch Engage, Five Finger Death Punch, Wednesday
13 and Dragonforce are just some of the bands interviewed on the show. The show also
features Motocross, Downhill Bikes, freestyle MX and a variety of other features. The show
airs every night on Comcast Cable TV in the Pueblo area. The show is going on 11 years
on the air and 135 episodes. It is a great outlet to expose people to awesome bands and
great music. It’s a lot of work but it’s also a lot of fun!
Rocknation: Your band uses really cool makeup and mask how did you come up with your
image for the band?
Seven Days Lost: Thanks! It was born out of a intense desire to entertain! We are influ-
enced by bands like KISS, W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, Wednesday
13, GWAR, Mushroomhead, Slipknot ...the list goes on!! You mix Rock music and Horror
movies together and you come up with some crazy stuff sometimes. It’s been sort of a
slow and constant evolution..it changes here and there. We formed Seven Days Lost from
the core of musicians that played in Mike’s side project, “Hell’s Circus”. That is a big Rock
‘n Roll Psychodrama, where there is 15 to 20 cast members and everyone is in costume.
The show is Horror themed and our attire developed from there. Like we said.. It’s born
out of a intense desire to entertain, but you still got to have good music to back it up!
Rocknation: Please name some bands you have appeared in Concert with.

For fans of KISS,
Rob Zombie, GWAR SEVEN DAYS LOST
& Murderdolls.
