Jason
Mackenroth doesn't seem to understand the term "downtime." Not only is
the drummer
simultaneously playing in both The Rollins Band and Mother
Superior, he's playing back to back sets on tour. Sure, The
Rollins
Band is Mother Superior with Henry Rollins leading the charge.
Even so, the first show of the tour was a little
rough for the drummer.
"There's that adrenaline that hits when you go on stage," Mackenroth
says. "I was a little
nervous, but I got through both sets okay."
Mackenroth's previous punk and metal experiences, which are
blended
into the Rollins gig, are serving him well. "We're not totally
straight-ahead rock," he says. "We're not
full-out punk rock either.
But it has elements of all that in it. I feel like it's all melded
together at this point, because here
I am with an icon of punk, and his
music has developed the same way." Jason's own Rollins Band personal
highlights
include the tunes "One Shot," "Up For It," "Your Number Is
One," and "I Want So Much More" from the band's latest
release, Nice.
