Nicky Bomba is a self-described juggler. Normally with at least four balls up in the air simultaneously, when he’s not behind the drum kit for John Butler Trio, Bomba is recording solo material or fronting his own band Bomba. At this year’s Australasian World Music Expo, it’s his other project, the Melbourne Ska Orchestra, that will see Bomba on the stage with Jamaican reggae legend Stranger Cole... Read More

Tool

The prospect of interviewing Tool makes my nape-hairs bristle in a giddy Mexican wave, and not just because Lateralus heavily informed my formative years.
