Kirk Covington is great, I like the risk taking mentality and the humour too..Great sound. In comparison Borlai is like a well oiled military tank, gets the job done I guess..
Bringing drummers together since 1999

They've never killed as much as with Virgil, being extremely busy. I can listen to these bootlegs over and over.

Willis and I have decided not to continue with Tribal Tech. There are many reasons, but here are a few of mine.
I find it difficult to work on music when band members live in other countries. It’s a lot of work sending files back and forth, and there’s an unbelievable amount of post-production needed after the basic tracks are done. The recording budgets are low enough with a trio - I can no longer justify spending that amount of time for the same budget with a quartet.
It’s a similar situation with touring. I have a family to support and thankfully I’m making good money with my trio and HBC. Nothing against keyboard players, but I’m having a great time writing instrumental music for guitar and I want to put all my attention on that path because it’s more challenging as a guitarist and composer. I still hope to play with Deron Johnson in LA, and also with Steve Taviglione, two of my favorite musicians.
Thanks to all the fans who supported Tribal Tech!
