This past week Ben Wrecker took on the rather hardcore task of joining WINNEBAGO DEAL (UK) on drums with a mere 6 hours of rehearsal on their first ever Aussie Tour.
Sadly, a family bereavement in Ben Thomas'(Winnebago Deal) family saw the drummer fly home to the UK and Ben Wrecker jumping in at a minutes notice to complete the tour. 15 songs were learnt and many faces melted across the eastern coast of Australia on what was an amazing tour. Our thoughts go out to Ben Thomas and his family.
