EmDee: Lukas

how long have you been playing drums for?
My brave parents bought my first kit for me at the tender age of ten. Since then I've had an on-again off-again affair with the rhythm addiction.

what are your influences?
I find it hard to pick out those musicians who influenced me. But if forced to narrow it down to say three, I would have to pick :
1.Jimi Hendrix and the Band of Gypsies drummer Mitch Mitchell,
2.Captain beefhart and the Magic bands drummer Paul Blakely
3.The prolific genius of Frank Zappa and all of his drummers.

have you played in other bands?
Too many to list. Everything from death metal to classical and most stops in between. Theres a shortage of drummers in Darwin.

how long have you been playing with eMDee for?
We hooked up on the east coast in the late summer of 2004.

are you working on any other music projects?
This year I decided to dabble in the production side of things and bought the beginnings of a studio. There are plans for the year to come.

what has been the highlight of your drumming career?
The Nude 2000 Party. New years eve, naked on stage, the bands first gig, a crowd of 250 nude revellers. I'll let your imagination take it from there!
Playing at The Wignals Wine Festival with Em Dee. Hearing folks chanting your band name just blew me away. Awesome!!
3. Playing live to air on ABCs now defunked Recovery program with Drill,Triple j unearthed winners in ... I think it was 98, but I'm not sure anymore...
