GETTING TO KNOW YOU- CHRIS BABBITT (TAKING DAWN)
Posted on January 23, 2010This is the last in our Getting To Know You series here on Roadrunner UK and in this one we hand you over to another of our rising stars, who delivered quite possibly the most entertaining Getting To Know You yet!
Allow us to introduce to you Chris Babbitt, the vocalist from newbies TAKING DAWN. You’re gonna love these guys…
What were you doing when we interrupted you to do this interview?

Bishop Gorman High School; University of Las Vegas Nevada
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I’ll never grow up… but the answer is the next Hulk Hogan
Tell us a little about your first band…
7th FUCKING Son! I was 18 and we sounded like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Shadows Fall wrapped in one (3 of my all time fave bands).

Track of the moment?
Lady Gaga-I Like It Rough or Shakira-SheWolf
Album of the moment?

Food of choice
Pussy or…well, let’s face it, PUSSY
Movie of the moment?
40 Year Old Virgin or Avatar…12 foot, half naked, blue broads that don’t speak english, alll riiight…GIGGITY!
Highlight of your career so far?
The triplets in Vancouver, The reverend’s daughter in Knoxville, or that tranny from Philly (in pepsi/coke taste-test you’ll never guess she was a man… I mean, it’s not gay if it’s post-op, right?
Random Fact?
I have one matching freckle on each of my eyelids…and another on my 😉
