Regarding the misprint on Trouble album
April 28, 2010
Many people have been writing and asking about the European vinyl pressing of Trouble's 'Live in LA' album from High Roller Records. The album states that Mark Lira is playing drums on that album, but it is indeed myself performing entirely. In addition, the band photo (below) was taken at the show, but not printed on the album (Lira's photos were posted instead). Yes, it is also my kit on the back cover of the album from my last show with Trouble at The End Club in Nashville (July 2008). High Roller Records has apologized to me for this error and has promised to make the corrections if more albums are pressed. I understand that this was only a mistake and there are no hard feelings about it at all. I hope this now clears it all up.

Oly's recent interview with Decibel Magazine
March 31, 2010
"Doing the interviews for our Hall of Fame story on Trouble's Psalm 9 [Dec 09 #62], we were intrigued to discover that the band's former drummer, Jeff "Oly" Olson, worked at Allagash Brewing-- makers of fine Belgian-style brews-- in Portland, Maine. Though we didn't get to talk beer at the time, this was a revelation (cheap Trouble reference intended) that required following up. And what better time than the recent release of a new full-length CD, 'Again,' by multi-instrumentalist Olson's (mostly) solo project, Retro Grave." - Adem Tepedelen.
Decibel's entire interview with Jeff "Oly" Olson can be found in the magazine's May 2010 issue, which will be available in stores at the end of this week.
