The Check-In with Janet Weiss

Janet Weiss is a drummer, multi-instrumentalist and all around stand-up rock n roll human from Portland, Oregon.  In this episode Janet shares her experience making the new Quasi  and why it was important to be in  "touring shape" prior to going into the studio.   Joe and Janet discuss how her recovery from a serious car accident may have prepped her for the involuntary touring break most musicians have endured and how's she's put her "doer" personality into practice in order to feel good, or at the very least, not feel bad.  Naturally, the two drummers talk Get Back, Ringo, Neil Peart, Stella Mazgowa and why too many peacocks in one band is a bad idea.   Another thing that Joe and Janet have in common is their love for cars. You'll hear about a few of Janets favorite cars, what she prefers to tour in and why.  New Segment alert!   Borrowing from Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, Joe and Janet play Drummers In Their Favorite Cars Getting Coffee With Their Favorite Drummers. You'll be surprised by their choices!We hear a  rare recording of Quasi covering New Zealand's The 3D's  and a new song from Janet's band with Drew Grow,  Slang.   Music by Quasi, Slang and Joe Plummerhttps://www.instagram.com/theeslang/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/RealSlang/https://theequasi.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/thee.quasi/?hl=enhttps://drewgrow.bandcamp.com/album/the-comfort-feelUse Code Fret10 for a free month of Music Production Suite Pro and a 10% discount on all other software.   visit https://www.izotope.com/en/lp/ruinous.html @thetourstories Mentioned in this episode:Schecter GuitarsIzotopeDistrokid
