He just know when to play and where. My...how I wish more Drummers would take a page out of his playbook. Definitely an original. Unmatched in every way......

    I was lucky enough to catch these guys at a cool little bar in lyttelton just out of Christchurch in New Zealand a few months ago on a Tuesday night. The gig was awesome but the highlight was finding ourselves as the last men(and women) standing and literally sitting on their stage talking shit with the band. They were the most down to earth and accessible people ever. I even shook Mr Hamilton down for a guitar pick which he didn't have on him but shot out the back and rummaged through their shit to find me one. Class act. In the end it was myself and my mates that had to say "oh well, guess we should fuck off". Great night. Probably the best/most memorable gig I've been too. 👍

      @acarlovonsexron1994 10 років тому +4

      Bogdan was great, too. Super solid rhythm section. Stanier drums for Tomahawk, which is one of Mike Patton's many side bands with Duane Denison from the Jesus Lizard and one of the bass players from the Melvins. They're kind of an experimental rock band. He also is the drummer for Battles, which is a sort of sample heavy electronic rock band, and he really lays down some cool hard hitting beats that really is great for live shows. I'm not typically a fan of that sort of music, but his drumming, especially live really makes it appealing. He also DJ's now in his free time from those bands, oddly enough. I think I read somewhere that Bogdan completely quit rock and electric instruments altogether after Helmet and now plays Hawaiian lapsteel in some New York symphony or orchestra.

      Shame they couldn't have stayed together.
      I love Stainer style, but I have no idea what you call it when asked. I call it a hard jazz break beat style and confuse the fuck out of everyone.
      I ay guitar, so my drum terms are limited. I actually look up to drummers more than guitarists. I think it's envy.
