Tour Stories w/ Joe Plummer

First @thetourstories of 24 with Simon O’Connor! He is a musician and composer from NYC and has been releasing records with various projects for over 20 years. He is currently the touring bassist of the
psychedelic pop band, MGMT, as well as lead guitarist of Modest Mouse. He is also the bass player, co-vocalist, and a founding member of Spiral Heads, whose newest record is out February 23 via TrashCasual/Academy Fight Songs. Joe and Simon talk punk, punk and more punk and how the newest Spiral Heads record celebrates a specific time in a punk bands life when they may be branching out from punk. Simon tells us about his early days at ABC NO RIO, why Microsoft Word is best used in its natural habitat, and he shares the experience and beauty of hearing Marky Ramone practice alone. We also learn why Killing Joke is his favorite band, how he started playing with MGMT and his experience meeting Dann Gallucci from Modest Mouse. The two exchange made up words, talk punk t-shirts appropriateness at school drop off and we hear a couple tunes.
