Briefly, Jonathan Kane busted out in '82 as the original/founding drummer for Michael Gira's groundbreaking downtown NYC noiseniks Swans. From there it was off to Rhys Chatham's guitarmies and support for LaMonte Young's more rockist tendencies. Lately Jonathan's dusted off the field snare for pounding sets with Dave Soldier's Kropotkins, and become a bandleader himself, as the drumming leader of his very own micro-guitarmies. A nicer guy in rock and roll you're unlikely to meet - here's more accolades from WFMU's Beware of the Blog: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
