Premier Guitar met with producer, engineer, songwriter and founding Failure member Ken Andrews before the band’s June 8th show at Nashville’s Exit/In. After enjoying great success, breaking up and reforming, Failure is hitting it hard on the road. The band used to tour with fragile amps, tons of stompboxes, and miles of cable, but they now travel lightly with clean modeling technology.
Rig Rundown: Failure's Ken Andrews
They once used tons of gear for their textural sonic assaults, but now the alt-rock trio strips it down.

Perry Bean cut his teeth touring and playing in punk rock and hardcore bands, before he got his start in film. He worked his way up from lowly production assistant to become a producer, art director, and most recently, a music video director nominated for ACM, CMT, and CMA awards. Being Premier Guitar's Chief Videographer was a perfect fit for him, combining his two favorite things—guitars and cameras. Perry doesn't have free time, but his massive dog Beef pays his rent by being Perry's intern.
