Clancy McCarthy:
Drummer - Lynch Mob, Dislocated Styles & Bionic Jive

Contempt Clothing: How long have you been playing the drums?


- I started playing when I was just 4 years old, so 32 years... FOREVER

Contempt Clothing: What was it like playing in Lynch Mob with guitarist George Lynch (Dokken)?

- It was a lot of fun playing with someone that I grew up listening to and playing in cover bands that covered his material when I was younger. He has a great sense of humor, like myself.

Contempt Clothing: What is the craziest or funniest thing you ever encountered on tour?

- When I was in Lynch Mob, the bus driver pulled over in New Mexico to get gas at a truck stop and I got out to get soda and smokes but he didn't know that I got off the bus, and after I looked in the store for a while, I went back outside to see the bus getting back on the highway. They were headed for Texas without me. I ended up getting a ride from the truck stop manager across state lines and we found them at another truck stop an hour and a half later. Other than that, just drinking a lot of Jager and trying to steal motorcycles in Japan!

Contempt Clothing: What bands are you currently digging right now?

- Ozomatli, Slipknot, SuperGroup

Contempt Clothing: What projects are you currently working on?

- A singer/songwriter project with my friend Noah. More melodic than what I usually do. Also,working on a new poroject that promises to be brutally heavy.

Contempt Clothing: What is your favorite Contempt Clothing design and why?

- Anguish because the color poster of this design is worth hanging on my wall, its great stuff.
