LIVE DRUGS - Part 2
Connecting with a classic Warren Zevon album after relocating to Los Angeles where the band was recording 2017’s Grammy-winning A Deeper Understanding, Adam Granduciel presented Zevon’s classic “Accidentally Like A Martyr” as a song the band might try to cover. In Part 2 of The Super High Quality Podcast, The band discusses in painful detail, a less than auspicious debut performance for a private LA audience which happened to include the song’s original producer, Jackson Browne. That performance aside, the song went on to become a mainstay of their live show throughout their 2017-2018 tours, and the band reveals the ways this song continues to influence their approach to songwriting and performance. “Accidentally Like A Martyr” is a featured track on the album, LIVE DRUGS.
