NICOLE THE ROCKIN PRINCESS: Hi Johnny thanks for your time I know how busy you are, so tell me a little bit about what’s going on with you and X-Thirtien?
Johnny: Well just for starters… we are getting ready to tour the Florida region and to do a great show at Nightmare Metal Festival with special guest Chris Caffery & Zak Stevens of SAVATAGE!
Beware…We have a BIG BIG surprise at the end of this show! So fans…Be on the look out for a great night!!

Nicole THE ROCKIN PRINCESS: Very Cool!
I have heard X-Thirtien music on MySpace and it rocks! I can’t wait to see you guys LIVE!
Is there a CD release in the near future?
Johnny: Yes there is. We are in the processes of finishing our Debut CD… (VISIONS) in 2008!

Nicole THE ROCKIN PRINCESS: That’s great! I can’t wait to hear your Debut release!
Any major events coming up that you would like to tell the fans about?
Johnny: Yeah! After the X-Thirtien Regional Tour we have big plans to hit some Northern States to spread the X-Thirtien Comic Book Story. As a matter of fact…I have spoken to Chris Caffery about my plans…and He thinks everything is a great idea!

Nicole THE ROCKIN PRINCESS: Chris is awesome. He is a very awesome guy!!
Johnny: Yeah, He is a great guy! I have known Him for a long time since the Hall Of The Mountain King Years!

Nicole The Rockin Princess: Wow! That’s a long time!
Where do you see X-Thirtien in five years?
Johnny: On top of the charts!!! We are doing the X-Thirtien comic book story and looking into the Theater aspect of things as well.
We also have some college shows in our plans! We want to tour a boatload of select Colleges and invite kids to our shows…to let them know that X-Thirtien promotes the (Stay In School Program)….With that in mind….we want to set up a College Scholarship to an un fortunate child. Now this is in the distant future….But that is where X-Thirtien is headed as a band…..

Nicole The Rockin Princess: That’s awesome that X-Thirtien is thinking of the kids. Real awesome!! Great idea!!
Who is your greatest influence?
Johnny: Tommy Aldridge I just met him in L.A. He is the reason I started playing drums.

Nicole The Rockin Princess: Cool, very cool.
How important is the internet for X-Thirtien?
Johnny: I think the internet is most important. Especially Myspace. You can post bulletins of upcoming shows and all sorts of things! There are some serious fans out there, so if you want to reach them…in my opinion…Myspace is best!
X-Thirtien has been waiting for the right exact time to come out on the internet…and now we are going to run with it!

Nicole The Rockin Princess : That sounds like a great plan.
I know a good friend of mine that does one of your Street Teams… Julie!
Johnny: Yeah she is great! She is very good at what she does,
But truthfully…Julie has done a professional job and works real hard for us! We are blessed to know her. You know I am greatly honored to meet you guys.
You both are X-Thirtien Goddess Queens!

You know… She is really good. She also runs a Street Team for Chris Caffery as well!!
