Jonny Basher

(drums/percussion)

The heart and soul of the band (at least according to his agent and mom), Jonny brought his savvy Chicago-based chops to The M-80s, and the Southern California music scene has not been the same since.

The Berklee College of Music trained Basher grew up in the Midwest in a small farm town – sporting a rockin’ mullet, cutting the sleeves off all his t-shirts, and wearing mirrored sunglasses 24/7 (yes, he had the delusion that he was Alex Van Halen).  As a typical young drummer, and a child of the 80’s, he drove his family to the brink of insanity with his incessant practicing and his hosting of band practices (just how many times can a human hear “Rock You Like a Hurricane”?).

Jonny has his own personal physician in attendance at all gigs, to assist the numerous ladies who swoon when he wears his Krokus tank top.  While the anticipated swooning frenzy hasn’t materialized as of yet, the onsite physician has proved his worth many times over by expertly removing splinters from Jonny’s tongue – as a result of his penchant for licking his drumsticks in mid-song!
