Interview with Leah Shapiro of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

There aren’t many bands I’ve followed as much as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. My history with BRMC as a fan is a long one, with miles of travels, stories, friends made, and lost acquaintances in between. Over the years, the band has evolved with the addition of Leah Shapiro replacing original drummer, Nick Jago. Joining guitarist Peter Hayes and bassist Robert Levon Been, Leah helped write a new chapter in their rock n’ roll story.
I was offered a last-minute zoom interview with Leah Shapiro in conjunction with the Under the Southern Stars festival tour happening in Australia later this month. Of course, I jumped at the chance to interview the drummer of my favorite band. Our conversation touched upon current events and unfortunate passings, life during the pandemic, what it’s like touring Australia in the past, and how it might be in this coming month.

Oh now I am sad. R.I.P. Poof. 😥 I remember after the Fillmore SF show in 2018, she had Poof with her but a friend was taking him back to LA so she was saying goodbye to him outside the venue. I could just tell how much she adored that puppy. Didn't she get him right after her surgery? He probably provided so much emotional support. 🖤

I can tell she really loved him, but I don’t know when she got him. I was sad to hear it too, though it sounded like she had a lot of quality time with him before he passed.
