History

edit

Price was already on the road drumming by the age of 16. One of his first prolific gigs was playing drums for the band Scandal. He performed on the band's Warrior album, before moving on to work with Billy Idol. In 1986, he started drumming for Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and he was a member of the band for over 28 years.

On the side, Price formed the band Price/Sulton with his childhood friend and music partner Kasim Sulton. They co-wrote the music and Price played guitar and did vocals. They released an album on CBS Records called Lights On. The song "No T.V. No Phone" was featured in the 1987 film The Allnighter, starring Susanna Hoffs.[1]

Price is currently drumming in his own band in New York City. They recorded an EP, Sex, Drums & Rock ’n’ Roll, and some of their songs were featured in the soundtrack of Sweet Life, a film with Joan Jett.[2][3][4]
