NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Minto, Manitoba, Canada, 06/14/2007 - In a recent interview with Sleaze Roxx, former Tokyo Blade and Johnny Crash vocalist talked about his upcoming projects.

SR: What are you up to these days?

VW: I'm working on a TV show called "Village Idiots". It is scheduled for release in early 2008. We have shot most of the footage for the show. I act in the show and also am one of the writers. For the last 10 years I have been working as a strip club DJ, everywhere from LA and New York and beyond. Also, I have a book coming out June 19th 2007. It's called SOUTH OF THE POLE (The Life and Crimes of a Strip Club DJ.) It's a novel and it will be published through MidnightPressBooks and Amazon.

SR: Give us some insight into what South Of The Pole will be about and when will it be released?

Vicki James Wright VW: South of the Pole is a first hand account of what it is really like to work as a strip club DJ. It also deals with why strippers and people in this industry are the way they are. The back story deals with why good people do bad things, hence its alternate title, The Life and Crimes of a Strip Club DJ.

SR: Is Village Idiots a real life show or fiction, and has any TV station picked it up?

VW: Village Idiots is a cross between the Ali-G show and Little Britain, we have a producer on board. It originally had elements of reality TV to it, but we pitched it and our producer changed the format to strictly skit comedy.

SR: Dizzy Reed and Matt Sorum both played on Johnny Crash's unreleased album. What are your feelings on those recordings and would you ever consider officially releasing it?

VW: I think that the second unreleased album was cutting edge and groundbreaking. It still sounds good today. The problem with it being released was Epic records, they shelved the record indefinitely. But Chris and I have started talking again and have decided to finally release the CD on Suncity Records. As for Matt Sorum playing on the album, all I can say is that it was a pleasure playing with such an amazing drummer. His playing on the second album was probably the best recorded stuff he's ever done. Ask him, I think he'll agree. Oh, and Matt why didn't you and Slash call me for the Velvet Revolver auditions? Just kidding, he probably thinks I'm a thief. I know him and Chris Stewart are old friends. And as for Dizzy he did some great keyboards on JC 2. He also played with me in the Real McCoys with JJ Bolt.

SR: How did you manage to get the rights for the unreleased Johnny Crash CD from Epic and when can we expect its release?

VW: It's been 16 years since the album was completed...the rights have reverted to us again. As far as its release date, well, all I can say is it will be soon!
