The Circle Jerks would come to town and play at the deli (yes, they played in the dining room of the deli) and any number of local bands would warm up. On other nights, 6 local bands would play. The one common factor was the drummer. Each band would leave and he would stay. I guess the Knoxville punk scene was low on drumming talent. Wel,, it paid off for our local boy. He has been Iggy's drummer for probably 15 years. Seen the world. You guys have probably seen him and never noticed.
