Scoop Link: The Times Interview - Elemeno
P's Scotty Pearson, Explain Yourself to PJ
Taylor
DRUMMERS seldom
steal the limelight, unless they’ve got magnetic character
and their chops together. Ringo Starr and Keith Moon had it
- especially the comedy - so did Ginger Baker and Mitch
Mitchell from rock’s early days, through to Dave Grohl of
the recent beat masters. All blessed with looks, personality
and that old showbiz cliché – charisma – grabbing the
focus of camera lenses and turning heads, much like Elemeno
P’s rhythm king Scotty Pearson. One of the most readily
recognised faces on today’s music scene (and in Auckland
streets), the shaggy-blonde power drummer, as decent a bloke
as you’ll meet around the venues, is pumped for Friday's
main stage appearance at Big Day Out.
