Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys

From Matt Zappa – drummer for Army of Toys & performing at Boston Calling this weekend with Julie Rhodes

What’s your go-to birthday meal?
A steak burrito. Its the perfect food

If you could listen to only one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?
California by Mr Bungle. The album is super layered to the point that after 10 years of listening to it i’m still finding new parts.

Who’s your dream collaboration?
Bjork. For 2 reasons. I’ve loved her music and her style. Also, I’m very curious at her song writing process.

What does performing at Somerpride mean to you?
Somerpride means a lot because representation matters to me especially in the music and arts scene. If you can help someone become more comfortable in their journey, you gotta do it.
