On this weeks episode of the podcast I speak with Wang Chung drummer (and multi instrumentalist) - Joshua Thompson.
Josh and I met a few months ago at a gig that both of our bands were on. I was instantly drawn to his power as a drummer and before you knew it we got talking. Turned out that he was/is not only a super talented musician, but also one of the coolest dudes you'd ever cross paths with.
A life long musician, Josh grew up picking up music in the churches his family was involved in, starting first with drums and then eventually guitar and singing. From there he cut his teeth as a gigging musician for about a decade before getting the roll as drummer with 80's icons - Wang Chung. He has also performed with Cutting Crew Music and a host of others.
During our interview we talk about drumming, AI, touring, un unorganized promoters, work/life balance and a host of other topics.
