CYNDi'S ROLE IN SPiT LiKE THiS
I'm proud to be the SPiT LiKE THiS generator of screams and chugs. I live to serve rock and I give everything I have so that every sound I spawn does it justice. I joined SPiT LiKE THiS because they are one of the greatest bands on the planet and I believe in what we do. I work with ViLE GiLEZ, ViKKi SPiT and LORD ZiON to give you the sounds and the show that hit you in every spot to make you feel what we feel when we're on stage. Everything I do offstage is for this cause, whether it's personally, musically or thinking up/organising things with the others to take the band where it needs to be. 

I am also co-backing vocalist with ViKKi… At least, I am when I'm not wrapped up with my guitar and 15 feet away from the microphone when my part comes in.

WHAT MAKES CYNDi VOMiT BLOOD?
Compromise. The dilution of spirit in music… or anywhere else, for that matter. Posers. You know who you are. A lack of integrity. Certain people who provide "services" to the music business. Half-arsed bands. Indifference. Inertness. Ignorance, laziness, whining, unoriginality and weakness. Manipulators. A lack of respect. People who get in my way. And needles going anywhere near my body.

WHAT MAKES CYNDi HAPPY?
Feeling. Music. Performing. Playing live and playing loud. Crowd reactions. The SPiT LiKE THiS UNiVERSE. Talking with the SLuTz and fans. Finding new SLuTz. People who dance. Pumping iron. Progression. Learning. Meeting people. People who let go. Exploration. Having my way… Or other people having their way with me for that matter. A few things I'd best not put on here. Oh, and free stuff. Give it to me.

SOMETHiNG YOU DiDN'T KNOW BEFORE YOU READ THiS...
Whenever you come and see SPiT LiKE THiS live, you will never hear me play the same solo in any song twice. I'm from the side of rock that comes from the heart. My solos are me getting something out - whether any particular part is to your taste or not, it's always real and it's always fresh.

CYNDi'S THOUGHTS ON THE SLuTz
The SLuTz are awesome. They're rad for welcoming me the way that they have; and they're bitchin for doing everything they do for us. Spreading the word and raising hell - that's why they rock. I've been amazed by some of the stories. Old SLuTz or new SLuTZ, to me each one is as much a part of this universe and this family as anyone else. I look forward to doing much more with SLuTz in the future. Come and say hello whenever and wherever you see me; or feel free to email me if we're not playing near you often enough.
