Prodigal Players
Over the years, you hear about a lot of nationally more-or-less prominent bands with Houstonian members. In addition to Hatfield and his Goldenaxe bandmate James Love (who has backed Dillinger Escape Plan on tour), there’s the Arcade Fire (brothers Win and Will Butler are from The Woodlands), Flaming Lips multi-instrumentalist Steven Drozd, former …Trail of Dead bassist and “sound manipulator” Neil Busch, Bluerunners steel guitarist Will Golden, Son Volt guitarist Chris Masterson, and New York session drummer Matt Johnson, who has backed Jeff Buckley, Rikki Lee Jones, Suzanne Vega, and Rufus Wainwright.
