These Local heroes learn to make do with just two
Bassists everywhere are probably shuddering in horror as Local H climbs up the music charts. The Chicago-based duo is making a name for itself without the benefit of a bass guitar. “We have a big sound,” said drummer Joe Daniels, phoning from Rochester, N.Y. “Scott (Lucas) has a huge guitar sound, and our soundman is like the icing on the cake. He really makes everything sound good. People ask us all the time what we’d do if a cable went out or something, and the answer is the same for us as for anyone else in a band. You fix it and keep going on. We’ve been doing this a long time.”
