Please, tell me how the Krampus concept emerged…
I went to Europe to perform with my old band Hard Place. I think it was November. I was walking down the snowy streets of Vienna, looking in shop windows when I noticed all these devil cookies next to Santa cookies…then I saw stuffed animal devils with their tongues hanging out, hiding under Christmas trees. I was amazed. And then my friend told me about Krampus. I knew I had to make a music video about this evil black hairy beast for Christmas. I truly love Christmas…and Krampus just makes it THAT much jollier.
