I HATE WORK: AVANT-GARDE DRUMMER MIKE PRIDE TRANSFORMS MDC HARDCORE INTO PIANO JAZZ
Two worlds came together when Mike Pride, a powerful presence on the NYC underground jazz and experimental music scene, joined the hardcore giants MDC in 2002. Pride played and toured with the band for three years, in that time recording a single album that only just now is being released. Called I Hate Work, the album reimagines some of MDC’s signature songs, such as “Dick for Brains,” “Corporate Deathbuger” and the title track. Brad Cohan spoke with Pride about the new album and the experience of holding down the drum stool in a punk band.
