103: Mark Trombino (Drive Like Jehu)

Although they were only active for five years during their initial run, Drive Like Jehu was one of the most beloved and influential rock bands of the 90s. Mark Trombino’s grooves, which achieved a crucial balance between cerebral cleverness and visceral power, were–in part–the product of his obsessive nature. He tells Joe about how, after the band broke up, he was able to channel his perfectionism into a successful career as a producer, and yet another career as a restaurateur.
