Mel talks with Carlo and Darrell about their excitement for Brooklyn Drum Collective’s Live Album release and missing live music desperately. The Brooklyn Drum Collective (BDC) is a Brooklyn-based network of musicians working together to perform, teach, and build a stronger community. Carlo Minchillo is the Director of the BDC and Drummer for The Planes and Glass Slipper. Darrell Dumas is the guitarist for The Bizarre Sharks, one of four bands featured on the live album, and The Royal They. Mel is, you know, Mel and at the beginning of the conversation she says that Carlo can be found on the episode “Carlo is a Perpetual Motion Machine” but it’s actually called “Carlo Uses Positive Energy & Commitment to Become a Perpetual Motion Machine.” She also says The Royal They's song "Full Metal Black" is her go-to song when she needs to get some frustration out so feel free to take a listen and see if it could be yours.
For more about the album: Brooklyn Drum Collective Presents... Live at Our Wicked Lady is in celebration of the Brooklyn Drum Collective’s Two Year Anniversary and will be released October 16, 2020 but you can preorder now on Bandcamp. All presales will support Black Lives Matter and Our Wicked Lady. Recorded July 19, 2019 on the roof of Our Wicked Lady in Bushwick, this album features local Brooklyn bands, True Dreams, Bizarre Sharks, Catty and PowerSnap. Each of these bands selected 3 songs from their set that audio engineer Rich Crescenti recorded, Jeff Berner (Psychic TV) mixed during quarantine and Sam Gelernter (Plaid Dracula) mastered. It was an incredible night filled with garage rock, indie rock, punk and post-punk music and one of the highlights of our 2019 events.
