Sad stuff indeed, also not so long after The Chameleons and Inspiral Carpets have lost a drummer too, not a great year for this scene. And i'm afraid there will be more. Robert Grey maybe?

A sad loss, although drumming for the band surely can't have been the most taxing of gigs. Also, Opal, the precursor to Mazzy Star were pretty damned good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the Chameleons were one of my all time favourite bands, I really championed them in the USA when no one knew them (I worked in a campus radio station and we received The Chameleons first album in the catalog (vinyl tyvm) and took it home for a listen, and that was that. The station played primarily jazz, so I figured they wouldn't miss this offering.). My sister, who spent time in Salford and Manchester, was more the Inspiral Carpets fan. She plays in my DP and so yes, all these drummers were news we didn't want to hear. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have him on my longlist. I just looked up some of the notable hits he played on: Eve Of Destruction by Barry McGuire, These Boots Are Made For Walkin' by Nancy Sinatra, multiple Beach Boys songs and more. Good choice for 2017 and if he makes it to 2018 I'd put him on my main 50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
