Daniel Vega plays the drums with his band Zlam Dunk during the band’s third tour. Vega said he wasn’t sure where and when the photo was taken but his best guess was that it was in Philadelphia in 2011. “It was the longest tour we ever did,” Vega recalled, “roughly five weeks on the road, living in a van and crashing on floors. Best time of my life, other than getting married and teaching at McCallum obviously.” The extended spring break gave the math teacher the chance to realize an album project that has been four years in the making. The album, Decade by Crooked Numbers, was released on April 1 (no fooling). Vega wrote all of the lyrics and music for the album and compiled drums and bass recordings from four years ago along with more recent guitar, keyboards and vocal recordings. “I have been playing drums most of my life … and this album has been a long time coming,” Vega told MacJournalism. “I’ve been working on the songs since around 2016, but when you have a full-time job and a life, music kind of gets put on the back burner.” Photo by Danny Garcia (probably).
