CeeJ: I saw the video for the cover of MOTLEY CRÜE’S “Saint” in Los Angeles. VERSAILLES RECORDS had
asked that you do that. A few questions on that…when you were asked to do the cover, how did you feel
about it? Many bands say it was a business decision to do a cover. Are you fans that jumped on the chance,
or did you not want to do it? And if you could cover a song of your choice, what would it be and why?
Margarita: That was the song the label asked us to do. We figured it makes sense because we are all in LA

CeeJ: Congrats on the nominations for the LA MUSIC AWARDS! “Best Hard Rock Band” and “Best Rock

from Connecticut, John (drummer) is from New Jersey, I was studying at NYU in New York before moving to
LA, and Nick (bassist) is a California native. We all met in Los Angeles, I met Dave 3 years ago in Ventura,
which is a neighboring county to Los Angeles. We were hired to work on a project with a Producer and then
decided to form the band and take it all the way! And after many line-up changes, we met Nick when
recording some of the new songs at BOB KULICK’S studio, where he was engineering, Nick introduced us to
John and that's how our crazy circus came together.
CeeJ: Edge of Paradise has seen many states here in the USA. I see you are on your way to Texas soon. How
many states have you pl
