"I played as a drummer in a handful of bands since I was 12 years old. When I was 21, I met Jesse Keeler and we started playing together in his hardcore band, Femme Fatale. At first, we had two drummers on stage. It was complete drum annihilation. After a couple of years, Jesse and I started writing together as Death From Above.
"In late 2005, the band broke up and I started performing and eventually recording under my own name as a solo artist. In 2008, I put out my first solo LP titled Sebastien Grainger And The Mountains. It was a rock-centric record, where I played most of the instruments emulating a live band. I toured as lead guitar and vocals with bassist Nick Sewell, guitarist Andrew Scott, and drummer Leon Taheny; they, also, contributed to the recording.
"After touring in support of the record for a couple of years, it was time to make some new music and I started to take everything in a new direction. It was around this same time that Jesse and I started talking about playing as Death From Above, again. In 2011, we reunited and toured around the world. By 2013, I released a second solo record, the more pop/synth leaning, Yours To Discover. I completed this record while in Los Angeles recording Death From Above 1979’s follow up LP, The Physical World.”
On C & C:
“The first time I played a C&C kit was in preparation for Death From Above 1979’s reunion shows in 2011. I borrowed the blue acrylic kit from Dave Hamelin (formerly of The Stills, currently of Eight And A Half). I used his kit for rehearsals and for the first few shows and fell in love. It wasn’t long before I called up Jacob and had him make my own acrylic kit in Coke-Bottle green. This kit slayed. It sounded huge, played incredibly, and looked so beautiful, the intersection of style and substance.”
