BD Infected Musician Spotlight: AbdeCaf
There are over 200,000 registered Infected members here on Bloody-Disgusting. So it only stands to reason that a good chunk of you are musicians. And, believe it or not, I want to hear your stuff! More so, I want to share it with the rest of the community that you are such a part of. After all, aren’t we just one big happy family?
So today I want to spotlight BD Infected member v0dka4arussian, who goes by the artist name AbdeCaf. You can find all sorts of awesome information and music samples below, as well as a free download of his Unravel EP!
If you want to be a spotlighted artist, contact me via one of the methods at the bottom of this article.
AbdeCaf: I’ve been doing this project for only 6 months, and have only released music with it for 4 months. My first single ”Feed Your Brain” came out February 8th, and I sent it to Diplo who favorited it on his Soundcloud, making it the only song in his favorites, and causing it to chart on the Soundcloud Indie Chart. After that I opened for Com Truise locally as my first show. Since then I’ve signed with the William Morris Endeavor (Bloody Beetroots, Swedish House Mafia, Holy Ghost!) for booking, dropped my first EP Unravel for free, and been booked to play VELD Music Fest, Electric Zoo, Counter Point and North Coast.

AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
