Good times, bruh.įor the past “ten years strong, it’s much too long’” the guys have been pursuing their own individual endeavors. I remember seeing them multiple times in Petaluma’s Phoenix Theatre and driving down to “the city” (SF) to see their live shows. Their debut album Leitmotif took elements of jazz, acoustic/electric sounds, symphonic middle eastern riffs and of course angsty screams and blended them all together in a concept album like no other.Įl Cielo came next with a milder, dreamy, reverb-drenched approach while retaining the concept album feel. During a time of the Korn, Limp Bizkit, Tommy Lee rap/rock craze, Dredg came along and brought complexity back to the alt-rock radio stations. Regardless, to be able to interview someone I listened to as a budding adult, is a dream come true!ĭredg, for the uninitiated, is a NorCal band who blew up in the pre-and-post-9-11-days, at least for many West Coast residents. Yes I know, quite an eclectic sound without being so eclectic all white, middle class bands with a few Latinos and Europeans sprinkled in. Mine? Oh, thanks for asking! While learning surf rock song pieces on my crappy acoustic guitar at the awkward age of 12, I continued to be inspired, as I grew up even more awkwardly, by artists such as the Aussie punkabilly band The Living End, West Coast punks NOFX, Sactown nümetal headbangers Deftones and South Bay art rock band Dredg.
