This session bassist, producer and songwriter has worked with Beck, Garbage, The Mars Volta, Courtney Love, Ladytron, The Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails. Today marks the release of “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming” from the French band M83 which he co-wrote and produced.

Reunion Blues is proud to have him as part of the family and even more proud that he uses our gig bags to protect his instruments.

Trent Reznor
If you are one of the unlucky few to have missed Nine Inch Nails rolling through town recently, I highly recommend you carve out some space in your schedule to catch the band as they head out across the US for the second leg of their “Lights in the Sky” tour.

Trent Reznor has created a mind-blowing, technology-enhanced stage presentation with the help of a massive computer controlled lighting rig and the addition of several light sensitive LED mesh curtains that add an incredible visual element to the intense and energetic show NIN are known to deliver. If this sounds too much like science fiction, Reznor would agree; but when the stage is completely obscured by digital static which is then peeled away to reveal the band performing one of the instrumental tracks from the recent Ghosts record, it is difficult to avoid the hyperbole that this is, quite possibly, “the coolest thing you have ever seen”.

You can check out some of the clips on youtube, and if NIN is going to be anywhere within a few hundred miles of you, don’t miss it.

Robin Fink

(In related news, Robin Finck, guitarist for Nine Inch Nails, has been using the Reunion Blues merino wool straps on several of his guitars. His guitar tech Chris Whitemyer contacted us several months ago to track down some straps, which at that point were not on the market. He explained that Robin had insisted on Reunion Blues since this was the best strap he had ever used. Chris and Robin were very helpful in the re-introduction of the strap so it was great to see it in use on stage. Thanks guys!)
