BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series

Julian Perrotta joins me in The Engine Room this week to discuss his musical journey for the BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series. Julian was born in South Australia and was first inspired to play the guitar as his father played. He soon discovered that he preferred drums and he received his first set of drums when he was around the age of 11. His first drum teacher was Jamie Adams who was someone that his dad knew through his local church. When Julian was in year 10 he began to have lessons again and by year 12 realised that this was what he wanted to do for a career. When he was about 16 or 17, Julian put together his first band who were called the 'New City Royals', the band did a mix of popular covers as well as some of their own original material. Julian currently performs with the original Melbourne rock band 'Vermantics', who recorded and produced their second album last year entirely from the confines of the Melbourne lockdown. Vermantics present the The Volume Collection is a collection of music created from the lounge-rooms of a band that just could not wait any longer for the studio to reopen! Julian has recently replaced Danny Leo on the throne for the 'Zep Boys', and also plays with 'Smile Pepper', 'Day Drive', 'Fighting For Everlong the Australian Foo Fighters Show', 'FIVE against ONE Australian Tribute to the music of Pearl Jam', and when required, the Rocket Rob Trio. Julian recently recorded a few songs and film clips with the original Adelaide band 'From Scratch', does a lot of fill in gigs with other local bands, and teaches drumming at his own business 'JP Drums & Percussion'.

Music: Intro "Band It About" theme song, written and recorded by Catherine Lambert and Michael Bryant. Outro "Mortality" written and recorded by Vermantics.
