This is a bonus episode featuring the great Dale Krover, drummer for the Melvins and friend of the trap set.

Dale was originally on our show on episode 10, which you can still hear for free on Apple Podcasts or wherever you podcast.

It's been a few years, so Dale stopped by and told me what he's been up to.

Right now, we're getting ready to tour.

that go through my head before that happens of what I have to do before our tour.

I always get kind of stressed out before we go.

And I don't, I don't know why, but then like then like once I'm in the van and going, then everything

just relaxes. How long have you been a band now, 30 years? 30, well, band started in 83, so.

35 years. Yeah. How has the experience of touring evolved over the years for you?

Well, easier, definitely.

We don't have to stay at people's houses anymore.

But I guess we haven't had to for a long time.

I don't know.

We have it down.

We have our own routines.

And it's easier now, too, because we can kind of dictate what time we play and earlier is always

better for us yeah I think we play better earlier I do you know we I mean we even when we

practice we practice early like what time today we practiced at 1045 which is kind of late for us sometimes.

Usually we can do it.

Like if school is going on, then both me and the bass player have kids.

So.
