Drummer Spotlight Interview with KIEL FEHER; @kielfeher @frankandderol @hotel_cinema @wearesatellite
How do you tell if the stage is level? The drummer is drooling from both sides of his mouth.
Drummers always get a bum rap. Why is that? Ever seen a good band with a shitty drummer? No. Know why? BECAUSE THEY DON’T FUCKING EXIST (with exception for The Beatles.)
Drummers rule. We hit stuff, get peoples’ butts shaking, and ultimately determine whether or not the band is going to perform well. You CANNOT have a solid band without a solid drummer, so all you 6-string wankers out there with your tapping and flooded solos can suck it… This one is for the hitters. I’ll be sitting down and chatting with several drummers of note in the future to give them a bit more exposure and some insight as to what they do. Here’s one with drumming phenom Kiel Feher, who will be the session guy everyone is calling for sooner than not. Be nice now and secure a good rate… His’ll be skyrocketing in the future.
Interview with Tim Smith from THE BREW UK!
The Brew UK are a trio hailing from Grimsby in (you guessed it) The United Kingdom. Unbeknownst to me at the time, there are several groups performing under the moniker “The Brew,” and via a mistaken contact searching for a different band of the same name, I got in touch with Tim Smith, founding member and bassist/vocalist for the UK version.
Interview with Jay Gordon from ORGY; Hitting the road with new material this March!
With a their latest single, the first new material in 7 years, Los Angeles’ Orgy are back in the spotlight. Their track, “Grime Of The Century,” encapsulates all the finer points of EDM infused industrial rock, and will be a hit for fans who like the mechanized, crunchy sounds and pop choruses we expect from Orgy.
Interview with Mike Gantzer from AQUEOUS; Playing Nietzsche’s in Buffalo TONIGHT! @aqueous
Buffalo, NY groove-rock quartet Aqueous is a lot of fun, both in the way they compose their tunes and how they deliver them in concert. I know some of you will read this, see the word “Jam,” and immediately peg the group as a bunch of Deadhead wannabes, but that couldn’t be further from the truth… Praise Jeebus.
