Ep436: Shawn "Defenestrator" O'Connor (Yowie)
Yowie has been around for a long time. How long? Well their 4th record just came out Taking Umbrage, but they started when Bill Clinton was President. Every Yowie release has had a member leave the band and this one is no different. Defenestrator is now the only original member, and this was recorded without much playing together at all. In fact, ANY of it... yet Taking Umbrage is also one of their best one yet? Learn how Reign in Blood and Dave Lombardo are so important to the Yowie story. How and when Europe "got it". Throwing conventional music standards out the window... Whether Yowie is or is not prog, finding Skin Graft and also the story of the arresting album cover for the new one. All this and so much more!
