Shatterlogo




    1. . So “Who” is in Shatter, where are you from?

    On Vocals is Eric Gill, Guitar is played by Igor Dimitrienko, on Drums is John Thompson, and Spencer Starrett plays Bass. Eric and Spencer are from the southside of Des Moines, John is from Ottumwa and Igor
    originated in Russia.

    2. How did it start and Why the Name?

    SHATTER came from the ashes
    of PsychoSaga, John went out to find new guys that fit more of a rock and roll sound, than the metal sound PsychoSaga had.
    He found Igor at Mr. Movies in Clive right after PsychoSaga's last show opening for Megadeth.

    John knew Eric years back when he formed PsychoSaga, but lost touch with him. When SHATTER lost it's original singer, John found Eric again. John used to council Spencer at a Drug Rehab and when the band lost it's bassist, John contacted Spencer to fill in some shows. He did so well, the band decided to keep him. The band name came from John shattering his left leg while in PsychoSaga and having to
    re-learn how to play drums with that leg.

    3. What other bands have you all played in and are their other people who have been in Shatter

    Everyone has played in minor bands over the years, but nothing of any substance. John played a lot of shows for the band he formed, PsychoSaga, but other than that, most of the bands barely played shows. Previous singers in SHATTER were Hoby Gatson and Shawn Graham, previous bassists were Boomer Wilson and Andy Wightman and when the band was a five piece, the previous guitarists
    were Blake Rutledge and
    Broseph Chasington. John has always been the drummer and Igor has always been the lead guitarist

    4. Recently you have been in the studio with Brain Wheat of Tesla, how did this come about?

    John was looking at different studios around the midwest and talked to a lot of different people. There were some suggestions
    that the band work with
    someone that had a similar style and J Street Recorders came up. When John contacted them, they said they wanted to take a look
    at what the band has done in the past and if we'd fit. Brian arranged to meet us at the TESLA show at Val Air on October 27th to see if we'd mesh together. It seems we did and worked out plans to start recording for February.
