The above video is a bit blurry and you can’t see Stephen Bradley or Gabrial McNair at all, but you sure can hear them and Gingger Shankar backing Billy Corgan and Josh Groban on the Siamese Dream chestnut.

Meet Gabrial McNair - The Composer (and the trombonist)

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Why only play drums, only play guitar, only play trombone, only play keyboards, only be in a hugely successful ska-pop band, only found an independent rock band, only score films, or only score television programs, when you could do it all and be Gabrial McNair? Shall he now add “tour with a 20-year-old American Gothic band” to the list? Yes, please.

The rock band that chiefly vies for McNair’s precious time is Oslo (pictured above, McNair at left). Their second record, The Rise and Fall of Love and Hate, was released last year.

Lastly, let me not neglect the fact that Gabrial McNair loves Moog, which suggests that he may fit right in with the Smashing Pumpkins.
