Following last month’s departure of Atom Willard, Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano have announced that Tosh Peterson has joined the Alkaline Trio family.
Alkaline Trio have introduced their new drummer, Tosh Peterson.
Fresh from appearing behind the kit as part of Lady Gaga’s mind-blowing Mayhem Ball, the 24-year-old Californian is joining Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano, following the departure of Atom Willard last month. As well as Gaga, Tosh has played with everyone from Machine Gun Kelly and Fall Out Boy to Bad Bunny and Lil Nas X.
Frontman Matt has taken to Instagram to share that he met Tosh “at Swingers a few months back for lunch to meet up and discuss the possibility of him playing in @alkalinetrio. Tosh’s mom was also there who turned out to be a fellow history buff so her and I spent half the lunch talking about Churchill and the Miracle of Dunkirk while Tosh politely ate his fries. He later told @danielandriano that if we had had a problem with his mom coming to lunch he probably didn’t want to play with us anyway.
“Apart from the absolute MONSTER he is behind a drum kit he is just a lovely guy: KIND, polite, enthusiastic, driven and HILARIOUS,” Matt continues. “I told Dan I wouldn’t want Tosh to play with us if he HADN’T brought his mom. Tosh is a beautiful human being we’re very excited to travel and play music with and a drummer we couldn’t be more thankful to be able to welcome into OUR family.”
