I had my Tummler shirt on yesterday! Great band. I see Cas occasionally at shows either here or in LA. Does anyone know what Brad is up to musically (anything)?

I remember those fuckers! Then again, I'm old. I used to have their Early Man CD, but I can't seem to find it this morning. Probably lent it out & never got it back.

Make some noise, boyeeees!!

brad is in a band called "Absconder". total death metal. they are getting a TON of good reviews from death metal sights, so . . . yeah.

J (the drummer) was telling us stories about the emissions festivals and what-not. those guys played with a TON of bands.

I remember Jay telling us about playing out of town with Surrounded By Robots. The (only) guy in that band was named Jay Vance - same as Tummler Jay. The SbR Jay said he had found a bass player somewhere also named Jay Vance and wanted to start a band with all three Jays, named appropriately, Jay Vance.

Good times.

Yep, I still have Queen To Bishop VI on CD, good band.

Jake · September 14, 2011, 01:13:47 PM

Tummler were awesome and Brad's a killer dude. He's a walking encyclopedia of heavy metal, too, amazing wealth o' knowledge. Saw 'em at a couple Emissions Fests, too ('04 and '05 I believe)

The Shocker · September 14, 2011, 04:23:02 PM

I always get them mixed up with Novadriver for some reason. Both good bands.

DustinAR · September 14, 2011, 10:31:55 PM

I saw em when they played here a long time ago (03 or 04). Still have my Tummler shirt that I wear every now and again.
