Amir Derakh of Julien-k formally of Dead by Sunrise and Orgy

We had a great time talking with Amir and we got a first hand account of how Ryan Shuck is doing in rehab. We also discussed the importance of realizing when you have a problem and getting help. Another thing we talked about was the extent that covid 19 has had on not only Julien-k but on Amir and Ryan since both own restaurants. The inability of being able to play hasn't slowed Amir down and Julien-k is hard at work on new record Trauma Echoes. Plus we got into the creation of Dead by Sunrise with Chester Bennington and Jonathan Davis calling them to be direct support on his solo tour. A really interesting insight of the end of the original Orgy lineup, Chester Bennington's wife, Talinda's 320 festival, how long he has been friends with Ryan, what he accredits to his success, the new band he is producing out of Orange County called Slaves to Humanity and so much more!
