Do you like Nine Inch Nails? Did you see them on their infamous Self Destruct Tour? Step back in time with us as we explore some of the riveting chronicles of this tour captured through the eyes of filmmaker / photographer Jonathan Rach.
He is currently in Melbourne Australia and is showcasing a very limited pop up exhibition of his never before seen photographs of that tour.   

This exhibition has been brought to us by  Stephen Dallimore who is the creative director of Behind The Music Gallery and also a guest with us today.
Behind The Music Gallery is a new way to see and purchase iconic music photography.

Jonathan was initially a stage designer whose designs were accepted by Trent on what would be known as the Self Destruct Tour.  Shortly after this he was asked to be be a fly on the wall and film the tour as there was a feeling in the air that this was going to be something very special.

We are also honoured to be joined by Chris Vrenna, who was the original founding drummer of Nine Inch Nails. Both he and Jonathan recall some of their tour experiences and their own unique experiences with flying microphone stands. 
Our engaging discussion also reveals intimate moments of tenderness of touring with David Bowie.

As the curtain falls to this episode, we leave with the passion of Chris Vrenna,
who now channels his creative energies into educating emerging artists and musicians. 
A testament to the mentorship that shapes tomorrow's creative voices, and a reaffirmation of the legacy and timeless influence of Nine Inch Nails.
