Max MacVeety on tour with Big D & the Kids’ Table

Big D & the Kids’ Table - She Won’t Ever Figure it Out

? : so Max, what is your history with Big D and the Kids’ Table?

MAX: I’m the original drummer. I was in the band from ‘96-2000. I recorded on their first two albums. Shot by Lammi and Good Luck.

? : What’s it like to get back on the road with them? And to play Ska again after such a long hiatus?

MAX: Man! It’s so great getting on the road with these guys again. We all are such great friends, it’s been amazing just to be in the same room together, these shows are the icing of this trip.

As far as playing punk/ska again, it’s pretty demanding physically to play this music, but I always love a challenge. I’ve been having fun learning their new stuff. We’re not playing anything from the recordings I did with them back in the day. I like the direction they’ve gone in and I’m digging playing these new tunes.

Side note: I’m also rehearsing with them on the stuff their writing for their new record. There’s a 99.9% chance I’m gonna be the drummer on their new album. Yesterday we played the new stuff for their producer, Joe Gittleman (bass player/song writer for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones)…gonna be a great record!!

? : Where are you playing on this run? And where are you most excited to play?

MAX: We’re playing Long Island, Irving Plaza NYC, New Jersey, 2 nights @ the Paradise in Boston, and Lupos in Providence RI. We’re opening for The English Beat.

I’m most excited about the Boston shows. It’s just perfect that we’re rocking shows in Boston. That’s where this whole thing started!!!
