    Hi Mona and Lisa,

    My question for you is. I’ve notice on your videos, you have used 2 different drummers and two bass players. I myself don’t know their names. I won’t say here who I think are the better players. I’m just curious is there a reason behind this.

    Thanks Joe

    Hi Joe,

    I think we’ve played with about 15 different drummers over the years and about half as many bassists 🙂 In Austria and the UK we usually had 1 or 2 bassists and drummers who played the majority of our gigs with a lot of other talented musicians who would fill in whenever needed.

    Sometimes musicians moved away, had other stuff going on or we preferred or tried out different lineups. It kept us on our toes and it always slightly changed the sound and dynamics on stage. Everyone has their own unique style and we’ve been lucky to work with a bunch of great guys over the years.

    Hi Lisa,

    Thanks for getting back to me. A fair question to you Lisa, Are these musicians considered part of the band or would they be session and touring musicians? I’m just thinking how important chemistry is to a band.

    Thanks

    Joe
