Airbourne Interview | Bourbon Taters | Blanton’s
WARNING: Lots of curse words.
Australian rock band members Joel O’Keeffe ( lead vocals, lead guitar) and Ryan O’Keeffe (drums, percussion) join Fred backstage at Louder Than Life for a crazy good time. Over the course of 30 minutes, the brothers, who are avid bourbon fans, learn about the bourbon culture, including what a tater means and how marketing deceives consumers. They’re in the middle of a tour, but recruit Fred to start a bourbon with them.
