What's the next step for this rising band of electrified garage dance? Otto Matik said that the Primadonnas would like to play Ohm's and continue to play at parties and perhaps release a home-recorded demo cassette of a practice or something. Matik refused to disclose any upcoming release information, but it sounds like something is in the works. Live cassette recordings of the band are numerous but hard to find. Eternity Cassettes's Paul Vodas put out a compilation entitled "Austin Live Houses" that features an early recording of the Primadonnas "Fall Fashion". There are still a few copies left at Sound Exchange in Austin.

A Random and Discombobulated Interview with Nikki Holiday
why do you have lots of keyboards?
b/c they're expensive, I've played them since I was 11
why do the primadonnas have this particular image?
there is no other image... it's our personality...
keyboards are part of our personality...
we don't perform we merely exist...
performing is a biproduct of our existence
why do you wear all black?
black goes with anything
accessories always go with black...
it's not because you see the world in terms of black and white
or because the keys of a synthesizer are black and white?
we see the world in terms of us and them
what would you have the Primadonnas do over the next couple of months?
put out an album, tour
would you say the primadonnas show is perfect?
it's not perfect, it's real...
would you have the audience behave differently?
audiences should imitate us more...
I think that there should be more of them...
could you say hello to my friend Terrence in Sussex?...
how would you describe the niche that the Primadonnas fill in terms of Austin music?
we fulfill the need for an enchanting evening through our sex-driven, umm dark painful songs...
stylistically: one that wasn't here before we got here...
Lyrics to "Torture"
a maserati and a platinum blonde
a vial in my pocket of which I'm fond
an indoor pool and limosine
reservations at chez louis
a hat, dark glasses, and a wig
just to go out and buy my cigs
an autograph and photo-op
a pedicure before we shop
refrain:
it's torture to live the way we do
we can only give so much to you
I'm not a squid that'd be a different story
I've only two arms cause i'm just a boy
it's torture to live the way we do
we can only give so much to you
you don't even know how lucky you are
you cannot hide when you're a star
it's torture to live the way we do
we can only give so much to you
I can't stop my hands from stroking my fans
but that doesn't mean I'm in love with them all
I'm miserable I'm cutting the hair off all of my dolls
a fingerf**k from an unknown hand
a kid that says,"I love your band"
a record company who needs a hit
a body guard even when I shit
a nonstop tour across the land
a gig in moscow three japan
a mum and dad I dearly miss
a groupie who will drink my piss
refrain
[insert impromptu rap here]
