Congress of Cow was my first band which eventually changed into Lanemeyer. It consisted of myself, Chris Barker, Jeff Demiceli, and Andrew Spratt. This is how I got into the scene.

I’ve had a few episodes that were clearly just for me and this is one of them. I lost touch with Jeff years ago and he emails me out of the blue saying he heard the Jay Blanda episode, and I quickly set up an interview.

And this is what we chat about:

• Lifting weights
• How he started playing drums
• How he connected with Mr. Barker
• Practicing in his parent’s basement
• his thoughts on double bass pedals
• His feelings about Sean from Lanemeyer
• The show where we got unplugged by the sound guy
• How we both remember parting ways
• Seeing Warped Tour at Action Park in 1996
• Meeting Blink 182 before the blew up
• Modesty Panel
• And a ton more
