Last Monday night, Rockit Bar & Grill hosted Whitestarr’s premiere party for their new VH1 celebreality TV show ‘The Rock Life.” Whitestarr is a California rock band that is most famously known for their frontman Cisco Adler and his certain assets. Adler is notorious for publicly dating and wooing many of today’s starlets and socialites. Rockit Bar & Grill closed off the upstairs of their restaurant to debut ‘The Rock Life’ when it aired on VH1. After watching the premiere episode, Whitestarr performed for the meager crowd who surprisingly still had the constitution to keep partying after the exhausting behemoth known as Lollapalooza. Whitestarr opened up their set with “Be my bitch” and followed with “Beautiful Thang,” to end their mini-performance with the song “The Rock Life.” After Whitestarr performed, Cisco Adler sat down with me for quick Q&A about the new show and his band.

1) How did VH1 approach Whitestarr to do your own celebreality TV show?

Cisco Adler: “Actually, we approached them. All we wanted to do was to do a show and get out all the pretenses of being famous and show what it is like to be a good rock band.”

Rainbow Jeremy (guitarist) “Spit on it, and improve things.”

Cisco Adler: “Everyone is always telling us that we act like such fools that we would probably make good TV and now my balls have their own reality TV show.

2) So why did Whitestarr decide to host the premiere party for your show at the Rockit bar and grill in Chicago?

Cisco Adler: “We are on tour with ZZ Top and the Pretenders so we decided this was a good as place as any to celebrate the premier of our show.”

3) Since your show premiered tonight, do you think it portrays your band accurately or has the magic of editing made you mockeries of what your band is really about?

Cisco Adler: “I think its pretty dead on. Extremely accurate. It shows us in all our glory and bullshit.”

4) Being that some of you are the sons of some pretty famous musicians/producers (Lou Adler and Roy Orbison), do you think it has hurt you or helped you as a band?

Cisco Adler: Both. For as much as it has helped us it has hurt us. There comes a lot of bullshit with trying to become and being famous.

5a) In that same breath, you (Cisco) have been linked with a lot of Hollywood’s starlets and socialites (Paris Hilton, Mischa Barton, Kimberly Stewart), do you think that has in anyway impacted your band negatively or positively?

Cisco Adler: “Positively and negatively. People will say what they want regardless so I don’t really care.”

5b) Well, it has been rumored that you have been linked with Paris Hilton again?

Cisco Adler: “No, no. There’s no truth to that. Paris and I have been friends for many years. But you know what they say–’Rumors are the truth two weeks too early.’”

6) So how does Whitestarr feel about people lumping your band together with the current dance-rock bands that are becoming the fad?

Cisco Adler: “There is no comparison. We can rock out any other band that is currently playing. I guarantee you, if people would just sit down and gave us an honest listen, we will become their favorite band. And now I’m going to go get drunk and get laid.”

After my questions were finished, Cisco was bum rushed by the various Chicago wannabe socialites and groupies. Though Whitestarr has yet to become as big as the reputation as Cisco Adler has procured for his dating proclivities, there is no denying that they trying their damnedest. And I’m sure their livers would give them an A for effort alcoholism.
