TAB the Band's Adrian Perry Balances Band With Law Career

As Spinner previously reported, TAB the Band's Adrian and Tony Perry haven't asked for any career help from their famous father, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry. Perhaps even more impressively, Adrian, the singer/bassist of the group, also balances his musical responsibilities with a full-time as a lawyer in New York City.

"I had played in bands since I was 15 or 16 and by the time I moved out to New York and tried some stuff, none of the bands really clicked so I went to law school, which was something I'd planned on doing," Perry tells Spinner. "Halfway through school, I started jamming with my brother. On a lark, we started this thing and it started to go pretty well. I was in the middle of law school and I'd already sunk like god knows how many thousands of dollars into going, so I stayed in school."

Luckily for Perry, his firm, where he works in Intellectual Property law, allows him to do his job from the road as needed. A few months back, he even spent the commute to and from a gig in New Haven, Conn., working on his BlackBerry. "I'm kind of used to it now but I guess from an outside perspective it's kind of insane," Perry says. "It's definitely intense. It can be really stressful. Obviously, we're serious about the band and we're all ready to do it full-time in the future. I'm lucky to work for a place, they're very understanding. As long as I get the work done and they know in advance that I'm working outside the office, it's OK."

TAB the Band's latest album, 'Zoo Noises,' is available now. This month, TAB has a UK tour planned that will include a stop at the Download festival and shows with Stone Temple Pilots. In the meantime, they're promising some interesting rewards for any fans who help them out finance the tour, including personalized songs, a PowerPoint presentation on the topic of your choice or even your name tattooed on Tony Perry.
