On Thanksgiving also the Swiss people in Los Angeles think about what they are thankful for. For the drummer Fabian Egger it's a gig with the glam rocker Adam Lambert.
Today is Thanksgiving. In the US people meet for the big turkey meal and think about what they are thankful for. The Swiss drummer Fabian Egger living in Los Angeles doesn't have to think long about it: "I am thankful that I got to perform with Adam Lambert."
The selection process was hard. Many of his idols were at the auditions for the gig with Lambert. One after another was sent home. "At the end the drummer of P.Diddy and I were the only ones left", the 22 year old tells. Then they both were sent home too. For one week there was silence. Then Lambert's music director Brian London called: Fabian Egger got the job! Maybe their choice had to do with him being a fan of the Yellowcard drummer, Longineau Parsons who played with Lambert in the past, and having a similar (drum) style as him.
Then everything went fast: 15 songs to lern, rehearsals and after a while the Rheintaler (Rheintal = a region in Switzerland) already sat in a plane to Australia with the band. "It was an awesome experience", Egger tells. With his 22 years he is the baby of the band, and to match the lead singer's style, the put eyeliner around the eyes for the performance in Melbourne.
Before Egger had to head to Switzerland, to renew his American work visa in the US-embassy, there was still time to shop clothes together. "We are both shopaholics and found nice things - I got t-shirts and bling jewellery."
The rest is about where Fabian was born, where he grew up, which school he visited (yeah this stuff is actually interesting for fellow Swiss people ^^), his hobbies, people whom he has worked with, and that he's happy about his current situation. It also says that he'd like to play for Justin Bieber someday (he knows Bieber's vocal coach...) and that he spend Thanksgiving with a family member who cooks amazingly.
