Cyanotic
Date: Dec 15th, 2007 · Venue: Knitting Factory · City: New York City
Cyanotic
Cyanotic is composed of Sean Payne (vocals/programming), Chris Hryniewiecki (guitar), Drew Rosander (guitar), and Brian Blake (bass). Cyanotic's live lineup included Dave Schjolden (keyborg) and Adrian White (of Silent Alarm, Front Line Assembly, and Strapping Young Lad) on drums. They were opening for Chemlab.
Cyanotic Video Interview
Cyanotic expressed a genuine interest in being interviewed for my sketch comedy program, Ms. Divine's Tee Hee Heure — a weekly show that airs in both Queens and Manhattan on public access TV. Since Sean was familiar with my interview style, and more importantly my skits, I thought the interview would be worthwhile, even though I wasn't familiar with Cyanotic.
It turned out to be an entertaining, energetic interview, because all band members were enthused and wanted to be there. Their willingness and ability to react to me well made the show quite explosive! The full episode, as aired, is available to view.

Bonus: Street Improv with Cyanotic
Zig Zag Wanderer takes her outdoor improvisation act out on the street with the members of Cyanotic — an unscripted, off-the-cuff sketch that veers even further from a normal band interview than the one above.
▶ Play the Cyanotic Improv VideoSean's Obey shirt is from John Carpenter's movie They Live. There's a scene where Roddy Piper fights with his friend in an attempt to get him to wear the magic sunglasses — an unusually long fight scene. At first glance, it seemed thrown in to relive Piper's old wrestling days, and why his friend was so adamant in refusing to wear the sunglasses seemed ridiculously funny. It didn't make sense to be engaged in a long fight just for that. But as you think about it, it makes more sense — convincing someone to see the truth can take an unusually long time, as seen in the fight. After all, not everyone can think beyond the boundaries and see life through magic sunglasses.
Cyanotic Concert Pictures
In addition to Cyanotic in concert, you can also see pictures of them in the audience, having a good time and showing their support for Chemlab. Sean of Cyanotic also makes a guest appearance in Part 3 of the Chemlab interview. Cyanotic gave me a bunch of their stickers, which I used to tack up posters of my show all around NYC streets — see the last picture in the set.
