Rig Rundown - Starcrawler's Henri Cash

In just five short years, two scorching albums, and hundreds of electrifying, shock-rock performances (think fake blood and straightjackets like Ozzy, Cooper, and Manson), ‪@Starcrawlermusic‬ has earned big-named fans like Elton John, Dave Grohl, Mike Campbell, and Ryan Adams. (The latter produced their 2018 self-titled debut featuring Beck’s daughter Tuesday on the cover. Both of them are fans, too.) Much of Starcrawler’s glam-punk swagger is due to the peanut-butter-and-jelly relationship between singer Arrow de Wilde and guitarist Henri Cash. His prickly guitars and redlined Ramones rhythms flank her seething, sneering, sensual vocals making every second of Starcrawler’s 28 minutes a gas. And most of it was done on three strings. “Having three strings allows me to just play,” admits Cash. “Half the strings, half the brain power [laughs]… I’m so used to the 3-string setup that it feels natural and I don’t think about anything.” 2019’s follow-up Devour You maintained the daring Stooges’ snarl, but incorporated slower tempos and B-Bender moans for the Let It Bleed-esque “No More Pennies” and dream-pop swirler “Born Asleep.” The result is still an overall good-time ruckus, but the occasional change of pace makes the faster-paced uppercuts hit harder. In between recording fresh material for Starcrawler and a new project, gear-gobbling guitarist Henri Cash virtually welcomed PG’s Chris Kies into his L.A.-based tone zone. In this episode, the sharp-dressed man shows off his main custom builds from Randy Parsons (including a 3-string ripper), induces serious gear lust with his collection of Fenders, Gretsches, and Gibsons, and shows off the degrees of burn bustling on his board.
