Rey Washam

Rey Washam

Rey Washam (born Reynolds Washam, March 14, 1961 in Austin, Texas) is a drummer who has been performing for more than 20 years. He has a cult following due to his collaborations with many bands, the most notable of which include: Scratch Acid, Rapeman, Ministry, the Big Boys, Helios Creed, the Didjits, Lard, and Tad and Butthole Surfers offshoot Daddy Longhead. When Jason Schwartzman of Phantom Planet left that band, Washam was hired to fill in on drums for a tour which never materialized. Washam also played jazz with a band that recorded an unreleased album named Euripides Pants.

Washam performed with a temporarily-reunited Scratch Acid in the Touch and Go Records 25th anniversary concert, which took place on September 9, 2006 in Chicago, IL. The Chicago show also spawned two other reunion shows: in Austin, TX prior to the Touch and Go Records 25th Anniversery Concert, and September 16, 2006 in Seattle, WA. No further performances appear likely.

Rey currently lives with his wife in Los Angeles, California.
