But don’t let the “veterans” label fool you. In a recent interview with Andrew Haug, drummer Jean-Paul Gaster shut down any whispers of retirement, declaring, “There is no retirement plan in the future. We’re gonna do this for as long as we can possibly do it. We still enjoy it. This opportunity to play music is such a special thing. And I think we all appreciate it more. And so we’re just gonna keep doing this thing for as long as we can. I enjoy making music with these guys. It’s a very special thing.” The fire still burns bright in these seasoned rockers, fueled by the raw energy of the crowd and the sheer joy of making music together.
