On the heels of winning our unofficial best dressed award at the Grammys, Mastodon's Brann Dailor made an appearance on SiriusXM Liquid Metal's #666Live last week and offered some interesting morsels of info. The most exciting bit from the interview was discussion of the band's upcoming tour with Clutch and how they want to do something special around it:
Oh, I’m super excited, I mean Clutch was one of the first bands to take us out early on in our career and so I’m super excited that I’m getting back with those guys and touring and man, they’ve just become this like cult band that just is, I think, stronger than they’ve ever been. It’s just so killer, what a great live band. I’m hoping that we can combine forces and do some kind of cool thing together because I think they’re that kind of band, where they can jam. We can kind of join each other on stage and do something cool, something special for the fans and stuff, so looking forward to that. So obviously if you’re a fan of Mastodon you know Neil, the singer sang on “Blood & Thunder,” as the voice of Ahab. So hopefully maybe a couple times during the tour he’ll be able to come up and join us for that, but I’d like to go beyond that and do something else, something cool. We need to brainstorm and see what we could do to make it super special.
My brain cannot handle a nightly jam like this, making this tour 100% more must see, and it was already a great package.
Elsewhere, not to be outdone by his bandmates, Brann revealed he's working on a side project of his own:
It’s not a supergroup or anything, it’s just me and a couple friends of mine from Atlanta here. I’m playing live drums on it and it’s got a bunch of dark, heavy Moog stuff, so it’s pretty cool. I’m doing some singing on it as well. I think we’ll probably release a song in the next couple weeks.
Sign us up!
