During a recent appearance on The Totally Legitimate Business Podcast, guitarist Josh Travis explained his absence from The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza’s recent reunion shows. According to him, he was unable to take part in the performances due to scheduling conflicts.
Travis said the following:
“What is my current status? Well, I would say over the last two months, I guess I have learned that we have a new guitar player [Eric Berngruber]. This guitar player will basically be handling anything that I do, or have done, anytime I’m not there. And I’ve also been hearing things like, maybe we just have three guitar players? So I’ve been kind of waiting to see what’s the… is my role here again? I’ve been kind of waiting to see, I don’t know if I’m gonna have to be a second drummer. Like I don’t know what’s going on yet, but one thing I do know is I don’t have to do vocals and I don’t have to play bass. I do know that for sure. So what is my status?
Well, I will definitely be here. It’s just little harder because I do still play guitar and Emmure, and I also work for A Day To Remember. [With] A Day To Remember my schedule is like typically set out pretty far in advance. So I’ve been trying to balance just the these two, you know, between Emmure and A Day To Remember, and that’s like, hard enough as it is. So then when Danza‘s stuff started coming into it, it was kind of like, ‘I’m probably gonna go jump into a river or a lake or something’, and then, you know, like, we’ll just see what happens from there. But so we were lucky enough to be able to get Eric in here, who doesn’t know how to play any of the songs properly.
But, he went in and he taught Layne [Meylain, guitarist] how to play all of the songs improperly. So, um, we got they got that going for us. Everything is wrong. We got that going for us. Um, also, same thing with Emmure I have a fill-in over there, his name’s Chris [Dombrowski, of Sentinels.] He’s been handling everything over there. But so now, we’re just kind of at this point where it’s like, okay, all of this stuff is slowing down. This is all slowing down. And now this is the first time I have laid eyes on Eric since… 2012…”
Converge’s Ben Koller has revealed that he was recently involved in a traffic accident. The drummer commented:
“Nice little Sunday. They t-boned me and fled the scene. Luckily their bumper flew off and had the license plate on it. I’m somehow walking and talking and pretty lucky to be alive. Don’t waste a second this thing could be over at any second and it’s completely out of your control. I think god wants me to finish my work at @heavymusiccollective 🫠😂 ok bye see you at saddest day fest 😇”
During their December 6 set at Knotfest Mexico, Falling In Reverse were joined onstage by Marilyn Manson for a live performance of their collaborative track “God Is A Weapon.” You can see fan-filmed footage of that below:
On December 6, KISS were presented with their Kennedy Center Honors medallions by U.S. president Donald Trump. Original members Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss were all in attendance to accept their awards. The late Ace Frehley was also honored with his daughter Monique accepting the award on his behalf. Trump commented:
“The members of the incredible rock band KISS: Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley — who now is resting in peace, and his beautiful daughter is here to accept the award. Thank you very much. Thank you for being here.”
Mawiza have shared an in-studio performance that they recorded at Gojira vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier’s Silver Cord Studio in Ridgewood, NY. You can check that out below. Notably, the set also included a cover of Gojira’s “Amazonia.”
Duplantier commented:
“I love Mawiza! For their music, for who they are as individuals and for what they stand for. They represent and honor their powerful Mapuche heritage, amplifying its relevant message of connection with our roots and the universe as a whole. And they do so with determination and in the most modern way, with heavy riffs and an openness to new ideas and to the world. A conversation between past, present and future. Don’t give up the fight!”
Mawiza vocalist/guitarist Awka added:
“In the winter season of 2024, Mawiza arrived at Silver Chord Studio in New York, right in the middle of the Northern summer. We came answering an invitation from Joe Duplantier. We traveled light, almost with nothing, the way bands from the bottom usually move. By trusting more in our newen than in any objects, we knew that if the path was true, the music would find its own tools. And that’s exactly what happened. Joe welcomed us with a generosity that still moves us, a kind of care for guests that feels very close to what we are taught since childhood in our nation. He didn’t hesitate to lend us his own instruments so we could shape the noise we carry inside.
Silver Cord felt like a crack in reality for us. Metal breathing from the walls, the city howling outside, and us walking with the shadow of our ancestors over a faraway land. The north of Abya Yala has ancient guardians; we felt them watching, testing us, opening the way only because we arrived with respect and memory.
We thank Joe for his honest and powerful hospitality, along with his family for receiving us with warmth from their hearts. We also thank Jamie [Uertz, mixer, etc.] for his impeccable work and all the people at Silver Cord. Finally, we thank the spirits of that distant mapu for letting us create without losing the pulse of who were are. We returned to our territory marked by a dark echo, a spiritual weight that is born only when the energy of nature and the brotherhood of metal meet in distant lands.”
