It wasn’t fair.” Novo made a deal with her husband: You pick the musicians you want to work with, and I’ll take care of the rest. And she has. Part manager, part den mother, Novo gives Lamarr the freedom to do what he does best. “It’s been a relief,” Lamarr says, “and I’m so grateful to her.” Of course the band has had its share of hiccups. Original guitarist Colin Higgins parted ways with the group not long after the release of their debut record, and original drummer David McGraw decided he needed to leave the band in 2019 to spend more time with his two young children. trademark groove without McGraw’s hypnotic pocket drumming. “Dave had such a distinct style of drumming that is kind of a lost art,” Lamarr says. “I kept telling people, ‘It doesn’t have to be the same, it just has to be good.’ I don’t want it to sound the same, I just want it to sound good.
