We went live on location at Dante's in beautiful downtown Portland Oregon. In this episode of 'Native As I Can Be,' I talk with Jason Moore, Native drummer of Dead Animal Assembly Plant. We discussed Jason's musical journey, his upbringing on a reservation, the influence of his family, and the challenges he faced after losing his father. Jason shares how his cultural heritage shapes his music and drumming style, and how he uses his platform to raise awareness about important issues, including the crisis of missing Indigenous women. The conversation also touches on the evolution of his stage persona, Scorn, and the importance of community in the Montana music scene.
This is my first attempt at filming on location. It was a lot of fun and hope to do it again soon. It will only get better from here!I apologize for the lack of closed captioning, as soon as I start mucking with it too much, the audio and the video stop syncing. There's also a little bit of dead air at the beginning, just power through.
