Society 1 founder and lead vocalist Matt Zane is in the process of
filming and editing a documentary about recently deceased former
bassist DV Karloff entitled "The Altered Noise". The short film, which
will be comprised of archived footage from the band’s history as well
as new interviews with band members and friends, will focus on
Karloff's 15 years in Hollywood.
"His life really was interesting, regardless if you're a fan or not. He
was this young guy from the corn fields of Indiana that came out to
Hollywood and within eight months he's touring the world and that was
just the beginning of the story" said Zane
The movie follows Karloff through various phases of his career, which
spanned between his two main bands, Society 1 and Sin Quirin's 3
Headed Snake. It also touches upon his incredibly successful
profession as a tattoo artist that saw him inking up celebrities such
as Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, and Steve-O.
"Probably the most interesting thing about the film is that a subplot
emerged about the band KISS. DV absolutely loved KISS, and as I pieced
together all the different portions of his life, KISS was there from
the beginning to the end in one interesting way or another."
The film will debut at Karloff's Hollywood tribute memorial and
then be made available to view on-line the next day. The date of the
premiere showing has yet to be announced, but is expected to be within
the next two months.
Zane closes his thoughts about the project saying, "The craziest thing
about all this is that DV always told me he wasn't going to make it
past 50 years old. We used to talk about the film I was in charge of
making about his life after he left, because I had the most footage of
him. We would always joke about it. The last time we discussed it he
said...it's going to be FUCKING cool!"
