This week on I Was In That Band!, Grady sits down with legendary drummer Bob Bert, whose remarkable career has taken him through some of the most influential bands in underground rock.

Best known for his time with Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, Chrome Cranks, and Knoxville Girls, Bob shares firsthand stories from New York City’s explosive art and music scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He talks about how he unexpectedly landed the drummer’s chair in Sonic Youth, the creative energy that defined the era, and the friendships and connections that shaped his career.

The conversation also explores Bob’s acclaimed new solo album, Beach Bongo Bloodbath, his approach to making music today, and the unique perspective he’s gained after decades in one of rock’s most adventurous corners.
