Eli Green had no desire to play the drums when he first started, his mother signed him up for lessons as a distraction while his parents were separating, and although he enjoyed the lessons and friendship that developed with his drum teacher, Eli eventually stopped playing.
It wasn’t until years later when his school friends told him that they were starting a band and insisted on him being their drummer, that the initial spark would alight, igniting his desire to play, leading him on a musical journey that resulted in him becoming a professional musician and an in-demand session drummer, touring drummer and music educator.
Eli shares some hilarious memorable gig stories and discusses his very early connection with ‘The Mark of Cain’ where he is possibly most well known for having been their touring drummer since 2013.
Eli shares his amazing story about how he posted a demo to triple j on a whim, and how that resulted in his band ‘Life Pilot’ being played on-air that week, and he just so happened to put the radio on in time to hear them talking about him! Eli then discusses how that exposure raised Life Pilots' popularity leading to them winning the triple j Unearthed competition in 2013 and opening the Soundwave Festival in Adelaide, where they shared the stage with bands that had influenced their careers, including 'Linkin Park', 'Blink-182' and 'Metallica'!
Music: both the intro and outro are original songs written and performed by Life Pilot, "Pretty Like A Pistol" and "Dark, Dark, Goose", both songs were released as singles in 2019.
