In this interview on Logan Sounds Off, I sat down with incredible guitarist Andy Kerr who played with Nomeansno, The Infamous Scientists and more.
Interview with Andy Kerr
Today I am excited to be sharing an interesting conversation I had with Andy Kerr. For anyone who doesn’t know Andy or his work, Andy is a Canadian guitarist who formed the band The Infamous Scientists, performed live and in the studio with the band Nomeansno, and was part of the duo Hissanol. He also ventured into other works with other projects, including his solo career.
While playing with his band The Infamous Scientists, he released two EPs, with the last EP having John Wright (of Nomeansno) playing on it. Andy then joined Nomeansno for their EP “You Kill Me” after Nomeansno released their debut studio album called “Mama”. After that he performed on their studio album “Sex Mad” and more studio albums. After leaving Nomeansno, he began living in the Netherlands. He also played with Hissanol and made a solo studio album – “Once Bitten, Twice Removed” – after leaving Nomeansno.
In this interview, Andy and I discuss the recent reissues of Nomeansno’s album “Wrong” and “Sex Mad”, and the reissue of their single “Dad/Revenge”. We also discussed his career as a musician, and I got insight into Andy’s extensive musicial life. We chat about his inspirations as well as the new book “From Obscurity to Oblivion”, the Nomeansno biography.
I thoroughly enjoyed chatting to Andy. He was an amazing guest and was really informative. As a fan of Nomeansno, this was really cool.
