EP. 9 - JOHN STANIER (DRUMMER - BATTLES / THE MARK OF CAIN / HELMET / TOMAHAWK)

I cannot believe that LWICFD! ep.9 introduces one of my favourite drummers…John Stanier!!!

John has been a HUGE influence not only on me as I thrash around on a drum kit from time to time, but also on literally MASSES of other drummers / musicians / headbangers around the world 🤘🏼 I totally encourage you to dive deep in all of the bands John has been associated with over the years that I know of - namely Helmet, The Mark of Cain, Tomahawk & most recently, Battles.

During my career in live music, I was extremely lucky enough to be asked to do live sound & tour manage 2 of Johns' bands over the years (The Mark of Cain in 2006 & Battles a few times including the 2008 Big Day Out & 2009 Australian / NZ tour) & it was super cool to catch up again with John from his home in New York City & shoot the shit about beer, his bands, some drum talk, vinyl records & my shitty sound FX 😅 PLUS find out just who he would invite to dinner…this guy has met pretty much every hella rock-person out there since picking up a pair of drum sticks.

This episode also features a brand new segment where patreons of the show get to ask the guest a question…it's a work in progress but I encourage you all to jump on board the good ship Patreon if you feel inclined…it's a good hang & certainly has its benefits.

Thanks as always to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin' hot sauce & sponsoring my show. You might actually need to frogmouth a Big Gulp Slurpy afterwards tho to chill your tongue. 🐸😜

Anyway go check them out and put it on all of the foods. 🌶️

Finally, don't forget to check out the Spotify playlist associated with this episode & the above mentioned PATREON & 🔗 to all those things & everything to do with John & all his bands + fun stuff from this episode are below 🤓
