Hi. I'm Shane Atlas, drummer extraordinaire!
Born in the city 1963, we lived in Brixton hill south London. It all gets a bit messy after that. My dad was a semi pro guitarist & singer in the 60s, & my mother stills plays bass in a duo with my step dad, & does'nt hide the fact she has a buss pass, & still gets more gigs than me. I find myself in Dublin Ireland, why? I'm often asked. Adventure, something new. I left London with my van a bag of cloths and a drum kit, I don’t regret a thing. I've played in a great deal bands since I left home at 18, which was Cornwall at the time, a misinformed green young man. Experiences have been many, four record deals wild tours all over the planet from pop to hard core punk to Electro dance to tribute silliness, it goes on.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
First, I was born. Then I played alot. Here I am.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live quite often with a number of bans including my own project The Beat Vultures who appear every Saturday at The Mezz in Dublin, Ireland.
Your musical influences
Keith Moon, Gene Krupa, John Bonham, Mitch Mitchell and many others.
