Childish Japes will be performing songs from their debut album “After You’re Born” followed by an interview. Watching musicians perform tasty music and getting to know the people behind the band are great ways to get yourself inspired and wanting to spend more time behind the drums – and that’s exactly what you’ll get from this video.
JP Bouvet (drums), Asher Kurtz (guitar), and Jed Lingat (bass) will cover topics such as improvisation, the writing process, and general struggles they face as a band. This is the first time we’ve ever had a full band put on a show in our studio! And something we definitely want to continue doing.
