Bio
From London but partly grew up in America studying and working in theatre, tinkering with drums, percussion, piano, guitars, sampling, noise and composition. Studying in the UK he initiated spoken word saxophone band I Am Meat. After Adrian Stout saw them perform at Evidently Chickentown, he asked Jonas to play drums with the Tiger Lillies in Santiago, Chile in January 2015. In March 2017 he began his travel blog jonasgollandtravels.wordpress.com after over a year of writing about the tours.
Jonas has performed and recorded with Toby Nowell, Michael Rosen & the Dulce Tones, Ali Friend of Red Snapper, Hugh Metcalf, Peter Maas, The A Band (Neil Campbell), Asier Leatxe Ibañez d'Opakoa, Marie Portier, Dr. Equalizer, Gardyloo SPeW, Man From Uranus, Led-Z, Rude Mechanicals, Lonesome Cowboys From Hell, Paradise 9, Nik Turner. He has recorded three albums with avant-classical songwriter Psychoyogi and played live with them for a number of years, www.psychoyogi.com. Gardyloo's new improvisation band Chunkitini has featured Jonas performing written word to music. He has more recently been playing with Apocalypse Jazz Unit, performed with Jowe Head's Infernal Contraption, recorded and mixed the upcoming EP with 11th Hour Adventists, and had a reunion with Paradise 9.
Theatre
Drumming in noise, jazz bands and musicals including La Cage aux Folles and Joseph in the 90s, Jonas was mainly acting in Sonoma County USA, including leads in Chekov’s Seagull and Bogosian’s Suburbia, and got a pie in the face from Eat the Fish. While directing and producing Baraka’s Dutchman in a rock venue, the lead actor deserted, so Jonas played the main role of Clay.
Jonas has taught drums for years but not on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D8BRcUVMl8&t=7s
