I had the pleasure of talking to Mastodon’s bassist Troy Sanders about his new super-group Gone Is Gone which also features Troy Van Leeuwen from Queens of the Stone Age, Tony Hajjar originally in At The Drive In and Mike Zarin. Troy and I talked about how Gone Is Gone formed and their musical influences then he revealed that Mastodon is in the studio right now recording their new album! We also discussed his groupies and how to keep a beard well maintained!
