Stagedive -10- Garbage's Butch Vig

08/02/12 • 8 min

Butch Vig is a legendary producer. You might have heard of his work--Nirvana's Nevermind, maybe? He's also the drummer for Garbage, one of the most prolific and recognized rock bands of all time. So Butch has performed a lot--over 1,000 shows, all counted. But his most memorable show of all was in Serbia. In a castle. Surrounded by zombies. All the music in this piece was by Garbage. Listen to their latest album, Not Your Kind of People. It is catchy and it kills. Thanks so much to Butch and the band!
