TWENTY-TWO - IT'S YOUR CALL - DRUM TECH - ALEX GRIECO


HEY, HOW'S IT GOING? WHY DON'T YOU TELL US WHO YOU ARE?
" Me? Oh, yeah. Sorry, not used to this whole... interviewing thing.
Usually behind the scenes. Hey, I'm Keegan. I'm the drum tech for
'It's Your Call'. "

" HOW'S THE TOUR GOING SO FAR FOR YOU? IT MUST BE TOUGH BEING
AWAY FROM...WHERE YOU FROM AGAIN? JUST, CAN'T BE EASY BEING
THIS FAR FROM HOME. GOTTA MISS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS? "

" It's a lot of work, but it's worth it. I don't think I'd be happy doing
anything else, honestly. I get to spend my day around music and
great people. I'm from Baltimore, Maryland. One of the greatest cities,
in my opinion. No place like home, right? [laughs] I miss it, but I've got
friends and family here on the road with me so I've at least got some
of them around. My little sister's the lead singer of the band. I guess
you could say I'm partially here to keep an eye on her. But I do also
really enjoy my job, even if it means I've got to be around her most
of the time. [laughs again] "

" THAT MUST BE TOUGH, BUT HEY IT MUST BE FUN BEING HERE. NOW
WOULDN'T BE DOIN' MY JOB IF I DIDN'T ASK THIS, GOT ANY SPECIAL
IN YOUR LIFE? SOMEONE THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE? "

" Kind of? I mean, I've had an interest in this guy for awhile… and yes,
it's a guy. I've been a fan of his band for a few years now and we've toured
with them in the past and we're touring with them again this time around so
I've gotten to know him some more. He's a great guy and, even if
nothing more comes out of our friendship, I still wish to see him well
with whatever paths he chooses. "

" AH, I CAN FEEL YA. ANYWAY, ALRIGHT, IF YOU COULD PICK ANY
THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU, WHAT THREE WORDS AND
WHY? "

" I'm pretty chill, honestly. I've been through so many stressful situations
in the past that I figure it's better to not let the small stuff get to you. One
of the few times I get stressed anymore is when I'm unable to do my job
right. Caring. If someone's in my life in any way, shape, or form, I'll care
about them until the end. I try to go out of my way for people and I put a
lot of other people's needs before my own. Some say it's a good quality,
others say it isn't. [shrugs] Just depends on who you ask, really. And...
quiet. I mean, unless you're really close to me, you're not going to get very
many words out of me. It's not that I don’t like people, it's just that I find it
hard to communicate with someone that I don't know very well. I do try to
get to know as many people as I can, but I'm also just socially awkward so
that doesn't help at all "

" HA, REALLY? WELL THAT'S COOL. SO, BEING ON TOUR, WHAT
DO YOU DO FOR FUN? TO KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED WHILE ON
THE ROAD? "

" I sometimes like to sneak away and play a free drumset every now and
then. It's true, the crew guys wish they could be in the band. [laughs] I
don’t know. I've played drums since I was really young, so it's always sort
of stuck out to me as the most fun I could have while by myself. I also love
to eat. It may not look like it, because I'm so thin, but it's just because I've
been blessed with a quick metabolism. [laughs and pats his stomach] If
I weren’t, I'd probably be pretty big right now. I've gotten kicked out of the
van or off the bus on many occasions because I've eaten something someone
forgot to put a name on or because I finished Kay's fruit snacks. She gets too
territorial about those. It's weird. "

" WHAT CAN CURRENTLY BE FOUND IN YOUR BUNK AND YOUR
SUITCASE? "

" Um... bunk is pretty simple. Blankets, a pillow, headphones. I don't usually
use them though because I'm one of the first to pass out on the bus. Cam
and Sterling have messed with me on several occasions. I've got my phone
charger in there and then a picture of my family pinned up in there in case
I feel homesick. Suitcase is clothes, mostly. I've got a back that I bring with
me that's got a bunch of different electronic things, like video games, laptop,
chargers, all that good stuff for a person hopelessly addicted to technology. "

" ANY TOUR RITUALS? WHAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN'T LEAVE
WITHOUT? "

" Tour rituals... not that I can think of. Oh, I try to spend at least one night
on every other band's bus or in their van if they'll let me. I don't sleep around
but... I mean actually sleeping. "

" WHAT'S SOMETHING OTHERS PROBABLY WOULDN'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU? "

" For a long time, Kay and I actually didn't get along very well. [laughs]
We've gotten better about it, but you know. Getting older means getting
more mature and all that stuff. [begins to laugh again] Well, if you're
really close to me you'd know this. But I'm kind of obsessed with Katy Perry.
Both her music and... well, her. And luckily I've found a male friend who feels
similarly. It's good not to be the only one. "

" THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SITTING DOWN WITH US TODAY.
ANY FINAL WORDS? "

" Sorry if this was awkward. Like I said, not the best with interviews. Not
used to it. [chuckles] Thanks so much. Come check out It's Your Call. "
