Contest Travis Barker Wants to Play With You

March 14, 2011 - 9:23 am

Travis Barker is one of, if not THE best drummers of a generation. If you have ever had the pleasure to see him play live, its heart thumping, perfect rhythm, creative genius, goodness. If you are in a band, you know that most drummers (clearly not this one) are notoriously slack. So problem solved…have Travis play on YOUR next record. I admit, the possibility of it makes me want to get the band back together. It really is quite a generous offer.

Check it out…

What are you waiting for? Get ready to get great!

You’re welcome!

After Bedouin Soundclash’s drummer Pat Pengelly went his separate ways, the band took some much needed time to regroup and prioritize. The hiatus led to the creation of their very own indie label, Pirates Blend Records, and a distribution deal with Sony Music Canada. With the support and encouragement of bassist Eon Sinclair, vocalist/guitarist Jay Malinowski took the break from the band to launch his solo effort, “Bright Lights & Bruises.” The disc was the first release off the new label venture and tied fans over as they anticipated Bedouin Soundclash’s return to the studio for the follow up to 2007’s “Street Gospels.”

Gallery Music MUTEMATH + Bamboozle = Lazer Gun Key-tar Madness

by Mike Bucher and Joe Gall

May 7, 2010 - 9:28 am

The first time I saw MUTEMATH perform [at a festival in St. Petersburg Florida] it was 110 degrees with 100% humidity. I vividly recall, and will probably never forget, drummer Darren King, finishing the final downbeat of a mesmerizing set, rushing side stage, and puking like day one of high school football hell week. Without a doubt, MUTEMATH goes big, a reputation that has earned them a Grammy nomination and an Alternative Press review as “the #1 band you need to see live before you die.”
