In the 1970’s and 80’s the drinking age was still 18. Luscious Jackson and also Beastie Boys came out of a time in New York where it was very unique. Can you describe the environment you grew up in? I’m curious about what it was like growing up in New York. I’m from New York City and I’ve been playing drums since I was about 13.

Kate Schellenbach: I’m Kate Schellenbach, I’m the drummer for Luscious Jackson. Can you introduce yourself to the world of Tom Tom Magazine? Past Bands: Young Aborigines, Beastie Boys, Young and the Useless, Hagatha, Lunachicks, Luscious JacksonĬurrent Band: Luscious Jackson, Pushbuttons! I met up with her in the kitchen of her home in Los Angeles to catch up and share details about a new Luscious Jackson album and talk about her journey on the drums up until now. Schellenbach seems to understand this current state of the business and she likes it. Instead of traditional channels, there are now many different outlets to get one’s music made and delivered to the people. The music industry has changed dramatically since the band broke up. Luscious Jackson, for those unfamiliar, combined elements of hip-hop, jazz, and rock to create a sound all their own, but they disbanded at the end of the 1990’s.
