Q&A: Gil Sharone on How Chino Moreno's Team Sleep Finally Came Back
Many of Gil Sharone's fans may not even realize how familiar they really are with his work, but over the last 10 years rock and metal enthusiasts worldwide have watched at countless shows as the dedicated percussionist supported everyone from the Dillinger Escape Plan to Marilyn Manson to Fishbone, Stolen Babies and many others. His backbreaking work ethic and stylistic versatility eventually caught the ear of Deftones frontman Chino Moreno, who once made a major digital splash when an early version of his side project Team Sleep's self-titled debut album leaked far and wide in 2005, to lauded critical acclaim.
As the conversation between Moreno and friends inevitably turned back to Team Sleep, the group found that drummer Zach Hill's schedule was largely dominated by Death Grips obligations. Organically, Gil stepped in to assist on the reunited camp's Woodstock sessions, and we reached out to learn what else may be in store.
