SOLO DISCOGRAPHY
WORTH THE WAIT: Karnivool's first new album in 13 years, "In Verses", dropped yesterday. Masterful songwriting, incredible sonics courtesy of wizard engineer Forrester Savell (if it wasn't for Karnivool we never would have found him), and beyond sick bass tones from Jon Stockman. ![]()
This is a red alert high priority recommendation to listen to this album this weekend. It's everywhere.
MY RIDE OR DIE: Last NAMM pic - Mike Keneally and Joe Travers. Without these two fine gentlemen, you might not know who I am. ![]()
Meanwhile: Taking a break from solo album songwriting to work on a super fun and top secret recording project. Looking forward to revealing it at the right time!
MORE NAMM PICS: That's Brendon Small from Dethklok on the left. Dethklok will be touring the USA in April/May, the same time as when The Aristocrats are touring Europe for the first time in three years! Americans, you know what to do. On the right, that's intrepid Aristocrats Asia/Australia Tour Manager/Booking Agent Kris Claerhout.
GEN X + NEXT GEN: Two more NAMM pics. That's gospel bass legend Andrew Gouche (we go back to the late 90s SWR days together) and bassist/educator Norm Stockton, whose original fusion band played on the same bill as The Aristocrats' very first show at the Anaheim Bass Bash in January of 2011 (and they killed!). ![]()
The other pic features 2025 Wes Wehmiller Scholarship Award winner Stella Chapple. Old heads know that the next generation is ready to groove.
NAS-TEE MEN: It's always a hoot at the Big Johnson booth at NAMM, and luthier Troy Johnson knows how to deliver the big (acoustic) bottom. Now add Norwood Fisher from Fishbone and things get even wackier.
