Kerry McCoy on his loaner Les Pauls and the Helix that replaced everything else.
PG’s Chris Kies caught up with Deafheaven’s Kerry McCoy at the Satellite Music Hall in Memphis, ahead of a support slot with Mastodon. McCoy calls it a “rig redo,” which is about right: the heads, the guitars, and the pedals have all turned over since the last one. Have a look at some quick highlights below, and tune into the new Rig Rundown for all the details.
