(TV) Danny Tamberelli on Reddit

[Joe Hartley <jh@brainiac.com>]

Danny Tamberelli has been answering questions on Reddit, and my son
broke into all the Pete and Pete/Nickelodeon questions to ask about
playing with Richard.  It's all at http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/wc33h/iama_comedian_and_musician_danny_tamberelli_i_was/
but here's the highlights:

Q: How did you get the gig playing bass for Richard Lloyd's last tour? Are you still on good terms with him after what happened in Cleveland? What kind of bass rig are you using? What's your favorite Little Pete one-liner?

A: I got the Lloyd gig 3 years ago from my friend in LA. He was actually the guy who got me into television. Told me that Richard was looking for a bassist and i should go audition and at least meet him. I did and he gave me the job. I toured with him for the last three years and stopped in Cleveland. I dont think I will play with him again, I wish him well but those 5 days took a lot out of me. I was doing way more than just playing bass. I was tour manager, guitar tech, couples therapist and then a bassist. I have a Trace Elliot head and 2 4x10s. I use a 91 Japanese Pbass. "Bite my scab blowhole!" or "And thats how you turn a colt into a gelding"

Q: What happened in Cleveland?

tour ended, he got into a verbal fight and some pushing and beer spilling on the drummer Billy, the drummer from Television. Then some other stuff happened that I cant really talk about right now, but that was the last night of tour, and Richard hasnt left Cleveland since.

Danny also confirmed that Richard hit the female singer from the opening band.

I'll be sending more good thoughts Richard's way - I hope he can calm his
inner demons soon.
