Awesome band and drumming and great news on your recovery. My brother was a drummer/father/great dude and he lost a very brief battle with cancer at 38, so I love a success story. Hope you feel better soon.
I've been on a huge Redd Kross kick since the Merge reissues, coincidentally. Getting everything on vinyl which comes with mp3's. Redd Kross rocks in the car and the wax sounds great. I almost flew to SD to see them at Casbah a little while back. #1 band on my current live show bucket list. East coast dates this summer, perhaps?
