PR.com (Allison Kugel): Tell me about your group, The Truth Movement. I didn’t even know you were a musician?

Corey Feldman: I don’t know if I would actually claim to be a musician. That’s a pretty big assessment (laughs). I’m a singer-songwriter, and producer. I play a little bit as far as instrumentation goes, but it’s strictly leaving it to the professionals. I’ve been writing, singing, and producing for well over twenty years.

PR.com: Why is your band called Truth Movement, and what’s the style of music you’re recording right now?

Corey Feldman: It’s called Truth Movement because when we created the band we wanted to do something that was very much an homage to classic rock from the 60s and 70s. Part of thinking of the name was something that was fitting for that type of music. More importantly is the idea that everything we write about is honest and truthful, and something that should be explored further in consciousness. We wanted to do it in a way that it didn’t feel like just another band, but it felt like a collection of musicians coming together to kind of create a music for the time, and a philosophy and passage for people to reflect on. Through the music, we wanted to create more than just music, but a movement of people standing up for truth.

PR.com: And are you doing something with Pink Floyd?

Corey Feldman: Truth Movement is likened to Pink Floyd. A lot of the reviews that came out made a lot of comparisons to the sound of Pink Floyd, and we kind of threw it out there that we wanted to do classic rock, incorporating the sounds and the feelings and the raw nature of what they were doing at that time. As we’ve done our live stage shows and production, we’ve also incorporated some Pink Floyd cover songs. There’s always been this weird connection. I’ve always been a huge fan of Pink Floyd. I strive to one day reach that level of excellence. Through recent years I’ve been fortunate enough to have private time with each of the band members from Roger Waters to David Gilmour to Nick Mason, who I actually ended up playing some songs with about 4 or 5 months ago. One way or another we’ve ended up crossing paths and connecting. Through this weird series of events, I’ve also become friends with a lot of the side members of their band, and the guy who is responsible for doing all of their artwork for the last fifty years, Storm Thorgerson. I’m very fortunate to be able to say that Storm Thorgerson is doing our artwork. Storm is responsible for every Pink Floyd cover.

PR.com: Did you ever notice that when you think about something a lot and are attracted to something, you beckon it into your life? Like how you were saying, “We keep crossing paths.”

Corey Feldman: Yes, and that is a very powerful statement you just said. It’s actually Roger Waters who said it to me about two years ago. I was doing a play in New York called Fatal Attraction, a spin off of the movie. The reason I decided to take the gig and go do theatre was because I had heard that they were doing a stage production of The Wall. I wanted to play the lead character of Pink in the stage production for Broadway. I knew that there was no chance that I would get a shot at it without proving my own track record and being able to successfully do theatre and get an audience and reviews. So, I literally took the job for the chance to prove myself to Roger Waters, that I could play the part in [The Wall] once it was up and running. It turned out that Roger came to New York to premiere his opera, Ca Ira. I went backstage and presented him with a package of stuff which was basically reviews, a copy of my album, everything I’ve been doing. I said, “Listen, the reason I’m in New York and I’ve been doing this show right now is so that I can get a shot at doing The Wall, because it’s my dream and I believe that it’s meant for me to do.” He took the package and was quite gracious and said, “Well, believing is the most powerful thing that we have.” And I said, “Yes it is.” Since that time I’ve had the opportunity to sit down with him a couple times. He actually invited me to dinner after his Dark Side of the Moon show at The Hollywood Bowl last year. I’ve always had this very powerful gift, which is that I can visualize things and bring them into my life. I think I did it when I was a kid, with Michael Jackson. I had this dream that I would become friends with him one day. Somehow through a course of events, we became very close as I’m sure you’re aware. The same thing has happened with The Beatles, Pink Floyd and with actors who I really appreciate or look up to.
