letlive. have confirmed that Loniel Robinson (Of Mice & Men’s current drum tech) will be the band’s new drummer. Read below:
What is your drummer situation like? I know Loniel Robinson is with you guys filling in for Warped Tour. Have you filled that spot permanently yet?
Loniel is a godsend. Quick story: I have a friend and he’s in this band that kids love, but before he was in that band, he took our CD and he gave it to a record label called Tragic Hero. They released our record Fake History, the original release with the blue cover [before Epitaph Records re-released it with a red cover]. Fast forward a few years later, I hear that there’s this very handsome, very talented, very capable gentleman by the name of Loniel Robinson who is the drum tech for my friend that got us signed to Tragic Hero. So I called my friend and I told him, “Hey, I’m thinking about stealing your drum tech, because I hear he’s the man.”
And he actually comes to practice and he is, in fact, very much “the man,” and we’ve been playing with him for a little over a month now.
I haven’t told him this yet – he’s actually sitting right in front of me – but he’s not leaving the band, ever. There’s no way. He’s stuck with us forever.
