Winnipeg Singer-Songwriter Scott Hinkson ‘Fast Forwards’ Career With Getting Kellii Scott Of Failure On Drums

Fri Oct 21, 2022

What would you do if the acclaimed drummer for one of your all-time favorite bands announced they would play on any song sent their way during the pandemic? If you’re Winnipeg singer-songwriter Scott Hinkson, you get them to bash the hell out of the skins on your entire new album.

Kellii Scott, drummer for Failure, the art-rock space lords best-known for 1996’s sprawling concept album Fantastic Planet, and this year, ambitious new full-length Wild Type Droid. Failure is considered by many in the rock world as “your favorite band’s favorite band.” For Hinkson, a fan since catching the group’s opening slot for TOOL at long-defunct St. Boniface event center Le Rendezvous back in 1994, the chance to have the group’s notoriously heavy hitter keep time (and deconstruct it) was a dream come true.
