It was Sunday night in Brooklyn and an Evil Vampire Woman inhabited and haunted the couch and stage of Seventh Heaven Bar & Karaoke. She had a crazy, otherworldly aura, and a banjo playing to the sounds of Lil Wayne, and other rebel, rapper artists.

Evil Vampire Woman is quick to humble herself following a round of applause, just after her first publicly announced haunting and performance.

But for anyone in the room that night, it was clear this immortal vampire rebel’s career is going on a journey, whether she realized it or not. 

“Hi, oh my god, this is the woman who interviewed me in January!”

Evil Vampire Woman’s face and eyes lit up with excitement as I approached her and her friends at Seventh Heaven. I let her know I was here to set up in whatever corner she wanted, to capture and cover her first show.

It is a little strange calling this Seventh Heaven performance her first show, even if it is technically true. Though it’s the first time she’s played banjo in a public venue, she’s been performing to her 50,000+ TikTok subscribers for over 6 months–all from her little vampire room with nothing but her bluetooth speaker, candles and aura. 

I handed her a Jack White record I found at the Brooklyn Vintage Company around the corner right before the show.

“I remembered how much you said you love Jack White and The White Stripes. The woman at the vintage shop said the record plays backwards, it starts from the end.”

“What? That’s so fucking cool,” she said while accepting that record, and a few assorted, cheap rap and blues albums I found in a bin at the vintage shop. 

I ordered Diet Coke and water from the bartender for the show before setting myself up in the corner with my purse, iPhone tripod, and my notebook. 

The red light from the bar flickering, masking the smoke from my vape pen as I locked in and prepared for the multi-genre experience I knew Evil Vampire Woman would be leading everyone in the room through. 

Evil Vampire Woman began the show by reminding the audience her banjo typically tunes faster, but that her rebel accomplice instrument was feeling nervous that night. 

Within moments she was off, rhythmically swaying on stage, strumming with her long, pointed, painted vampire nails. All the while, mouthing along with her vampire fang grillz flickering against the stage lights. 

After she finished melting her live banjo onto the first song, a re-produced version of ‘Lollipop’ by Lil Wayne, she playfully shoved a chair onstage to the side, fully aware she would be using the entirety of that stage, while she bared all of her vampire soul for all of us.

She continued to gracefully summon notes into the room, each note sliding into the right places of the rap songs playing around the room and banjo. The emotions, the aura, the vibes, and the musicality … everything fit together perfectly, like some sort of puzzle that could only be constructed by an Evil Vampire Woman, with long, painted, sharpened toenails. 

By the fourth song, ‘Drowning’ by a Boogie wit da Hoodie feat. Kodak Black, Evil Vampire Woman laid down center stage and continued playing, with an aura that insisted she had been doing this for thousands of years. 

At the end of her 25 minute set, Evil Vampire Women closed the show with questions and previewed a few things she is currently working on, which included banjo renditions of Black Sabbath’s Paranoid, as well as Rage Against the Machine’s Killing in the Name of.

She said she wants to do Lana Del Rey soon, but that she wants to do it right.

“Like, I wanna do Lana, but I wanna do it right, you know what I mean?”

She almost left the stage in a shy blur, but then quickly spun back around and held up her left foot under the stage lights.

“Wait, one more thing. Do you guys like how I did my nails?”

Her nails were sharpened and painted. The crowd cheered. 

Someone yelled out what everyone was no doubt wondering.

“How do you wear shoes?”

Evil Vampire Woman laughed.

“Oh, we’re doing a Q & A?”

“Well, I saw them and was like Yaaaus.”

Evil Vampire Woman laughed and then began sharing the answer, as well as some details about her life, her banjo’s secret birthplace, and the place that rap music, country music, and art occupy inside her life.

“Um, I wore my Black Air Force 1’s cause I mean, yeah, they fit, and I think spiritually they like kinda align in terms of the evilness, and they just go together. My thing is I got into country and rap music at the same time. I was studying abroad in college, and I missed America, so much, and I wanted to feel like a runaway cowboy, or something. And so I bought this thing right here.”

She held up her banjo.

“You can’t tell anyone. I’m only telling you because this is the first show, and you know, like the first pancake is always burnt. So this thing is actually from France. And don’t tell anyone.”

The crowd playfully jeered back with “Wooow” and laughter.

She continued by saying that she was born in France which led to some goofy boo’s that she encouraged to drown out some of the scattered applause.

After the jokes she went back to explaining how she wanted to be a runaway cowboy when she was homesick in Paris. 

“So, yeah, I wanted to feel like a runaway cowboy I guess, so I got really into country music and rap music because I think, and I’ll tell you, I think the narrative that’s being told in like, old country, like ‘Oh, I’m like an outcast, a pariah, I have to do bad things’, I think the modern equivalent of that is not like Zack Bryan, and like, whatever the fuck, but rather moreso, I think it’s rap music.”

The audience clapped and Evil Vampire Woman continued explaining the relationship she sees between old country and rap music. Rebel music. 

“I feel like to me I think a song that represents that western vibe more than anything else today is ‘Murder on My Mind’ by YNW Melly. Cause if you listen to the lyrics, like, it’s the same as ‘I Killed a Man in Reno’ by Johnny Cash.”

She held her hands up and said “it’s true, it’s true” before continuing.

“And yeah, I learned to do this in my room just like I do everything. I’ve always played to rap songs because country music, I like it, but … I don’t wanna listen to it. I wanna listen to Kodak Black.”
