Summary

Today I sit down with the amazing Bass Player, Songwriter Michael Shuman of Queens Of The Stone Age.

Mikey has been playing bass at the highest level for Queens for over 18 years.

Mikey's whole life changed the day he saw Green Day on MTV. He starting a band when he was 11 years old and was gigging all over Los Angeles. This man is a lifer.

We dive into his love of West Coast Hip Hip, Sneaking in to see Dave Chappelle at The Wiltern,

and his brand new solo single Boogie Man with GLU coming out Thursday Mar 27th.
