Rock n’ roll is seldom a predictable affair. Just ask Chris Daughtry. Better yet, examine the very public arc the enigmatic musician carved against the grain of American Idol, electrifying the show’s faithful audience with a gloves-off vocal style that revealed astonishing breadth with every new song. Still, he found himself at the center of the most surprising live rub-out in modern television history. Premature elimination, they called it on the internet, and even though a controversial lack of votes ended Chris’ quest for the top rung of American Idol 5 (a spot so widely presumed to be his, even Entertainment Weekly referred to it as "the surest thing in Idol history") it ignited a groundswell of support from fans vowing he would soon be blazing his own trail. Listen to the track "It's Not Over" from his new album Daughtry.
"We were looking at these photos of Lou Reed onstage in London at the Crystal Palace in, like, 1973," relates Deadsy frontman Elijah Blue. "The audience is all hippie kids, but Lou’s up there with his Dr. Frank-N-Furter afro and white makeup on this Lower East Side-tranny-junkie-Wharholian-genius tip, and I said, 'He was into some other shit, and we have to drop it just as hard as Lou was dropping it." True to his word, Blue says of Deadsy’s new album, Phantasmagore (released Aug. 22, 2006 on Elementree/Immortal), "We just wanted to make a rock record in the spirit of [Reed’s] Transformer." Listen to the song "Better Than You Know."
