A Drummer's Life - A Conversation with Stephen Perkins

In this replay, we revisit our chat with Stephen Perkins, the drummer of Janes Addiction, Porno for Pyros, The Halloween Jack, and a few other bands.
We talked with Stephen about growing up and learning about drums. We talked about the growth of Janes Addiction, how that spread out into other projects over the years, how these expansions in projects impacted his music, and his drum playing.
We talked about his musical influences like David Bowie, The New York Dolls, and punk rock in general. In fact, one of the new releases for The Halloween Jack is a unique rocked-up cover of the New York Dolls song called "Trash." Stephen and the rest of the band wanted to put this song out as a tribute/ token of love to the glam/punk band Sylvain Sylvain, who died after losing his battle with cancer.
Stephen also told us about his most recent project at that time, "Perkins Palace", a new record label for up-and-coming talent that needs an opportunity much like Jane's Addiction did when they got signed.
So much to cover, and so much to enjoy!
