Chris Maitland, former drummer for Porcupine Tree, played some live shows for the musical Mamma Mia, I think.
Steven Wilson, before he could afford to do music full time, worked in IT, I think

Many guys we think of as 'famous' have to either do day jobs now or they are back in minor gigland, like Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson etc. I think Robert Fripp is mainly living off the money that Toyah made!

Here is my favorite story - I ordered a CD from the website of Zebra, a prog-related Zeppelin-inspired band. When I received the CD, I also received a letter from Randy Jackson, the singer and guitarist of the band. He was telling me all about his day job, which was selling a long-distance telephone service. He invited me to sign up for the service. I didn't, of course, but it was weird to think of this "Rock Star" trying to make some extra cash by selling long distance service!

^^^^Another Zebra fan here. That's Randy's day job? Sounds like one of those VOIP/Magic Jack things. I would've sooner guessed he sold guitars or gave lessons.

I heard Spock's Beard guy works at Cirque du Soleil, doesn't he? I've released three vinyls with my band, Stoned Jesus, played some festivals w/ Causa Sui, Orange Goblin, Uncle Acid, Naam, Long Distance Calling, Black Label Society and Enslaved, to name a few, and we're going on the fourth European tour this September, for almost two weeks. Still a customer support manager in a small IT company On MY DYING BRIDE: check 2001 and 2004 releases, they are awesome, and even 2012 is pretty good, too |
Wow, you're in Stoned Jesus? Love your band! My brother played me some of your stuff! I will download your album off Itunes. |
haha, better get them directly from our BandCamp
