We then talk about the Vault Recording Studio and their label. Who is your Dave Grohl?

Patrick, explains the background of the band and what each member brings to the melting pot that is the band. One of the songs that they play is Riders on the Storm, which immediately brings to Bill’s mind The Blues Brothers 2000.
