Big Fat Five: Kellii Scott's (Failure) Top 5 Influential Records

This week’s guest is Kellii Scott - drummer for the band Failure. He’s also worked with Liquid Jesus, A Perfect Circle, Queens of the Stoneage, Veruca Salt, Pink, James Blunt, Christina Aguilera, Linda Perry, Faith Hill, etc.…it’s all over the place. He’s a monster-of-a-player and, while we’ve known OF each other from afar for a bit, we finally got to meet backstage at a Sunny Day Real Estate concert recently in LA (thanks to William Goldsmith!). I hope you enjoy my interview with Kellii Scott about the 5 records that shaped him into the drummer he is today. Cheers!
