Due to Covid, Dystopica has not had the opportunity to perform live shows yet as a band. Today I speak to Erich and Becky about the band. Influenced by classic heavy metal, Dystopica brings back qualities of heavy metal from the 70’s and 80’s mixed with some modern and progressive elements. The band’s music includes melodic, harmonizing guitar riffs and powerful female vocals. Dystopica has a distinct sound blending hard rock, heavy metal, thrash metal, and progressive metal. The band’s lineup is Becky Brideau on vocals, Rob Muller on guitars, and Erich Bender on drums. Dystopica was formed in 2019 by Becky Brideau. ĭystopica is a heavy metal band from Connecticut, US. Naomi is a theatre graduate of Northwestern University, and a veteran of the legendary Groundlings Sunday Company. Her numerous self-penned/produced, comedic shorts have screened at nationwide film festivals and are available for view on comedy sites like FunnyOrDie. Naomi toured with Girl… to Chicago’s Single File Festival, the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival, the New York International Fringe Festival, and screened a subtitled video-version on the big screen in Argentina. Naomi’s first solo endeavor, Girl in Argentine Landscape, also received critical acclaim (LA Weekly, “Pick of the Week”) and earned her an LA Weekly Theatre Award nomination for best solo performance. It later went on to have a successful run Off-Off Broadway. It was then reprised at the world-famous fringe theatre festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, where it received more critical praise (4 stars: The Scotsman, Broadway Baby, Fringe Review) and a transfer to London’s West End (Leicester Square Theatre). Her latest, Carnival Knowledge: Love, Lust, and other Human Oddities, enjoyed a twice-extended, sold-out run and rave reviews (“Recommended” by LA Weekly).
Naomi prides herself on having paved her own, albeit unorthodox path to mainstream success by writing, producing and starring in several autobiographical solo shows. Huffington Post, The Wrap, Screen Rant, and Syfy all ranked Pepper among “The Best AHS Characters Ever ” MTV named her their “#1 Good Guy ” Uproxx, their “#1 Most Tragic ” Geek Insider, a “Top 5 Most Underrated AHS Performer ” and Entertainment Weekly called her being cast in the role “The Best of 2012.” Fans may also recognize her from cameos in the following feature films: Table for Three, The Chair, 1BR, Sky Sharks, Bite Me, Painkillers, The Lurker, Murder RX, The Portal, Preacher Six, An Accidental Zombie (Named Ted), and Fear, Inc. Naomi made #5 of IMDb’s “Top 10 Breakout Stars” after her STARmeter skyrocketed to #1, making her the most searched in its entire 8 million person database. Best known as the first crossover character, the fan-favorite “Pepper” on FX’s hit anthology series, American Horror Story: Asylum & Freak Show, Naomi also appeared as a new character, the Satanist “Samantha Crowe” in the eighth season, Apocalypse, as well as “Rabid Ruth” in the spin-off series, American Horror Stories. Naomi Grossman was a 2018 Primetime Emmy nominee for “Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama” for her role in Ctrl Alt Delete. Naomi Grossman joins me today to talk about her journey into acting and we also talk about American Horror Story and about how she got her role as Pepper.
