The musician Aaron Frazer has his halal-cart order locked down. Illustration: Margalit Cutler The musician Aaron Frazer released his first solo record in January. Now, he’s part of two more albums that will each debut next week: He plays drums on Yola’s Stand for Myself, and, as part of Durand Jones and the Indications, Frazer and his distinctive falsetto are featured prominently across Private Space’s ten songs.
Then I came home and tried to take it easy. The days leading up to that show were full of six-hour rehearsals, with everyone learning the material, and I was pretty spent physically, emotionally, and mentally. For dinner I made my go-to I-don’t-have-the-energy-to-cook meal: ramen, with an egg that’s cooked in like two inches of water. I think the recipe came from the New York Times cooking app. You boil it for a few minutes, you run it under water, and it’s perfect.
Anyway, I had some time at home. I scrambled an egg, with some apple sausage that’s on the sweeter side. I’m a total sucker for sweet and savory together. And then some spinach. I could have cooked it down, but I like raw spinach so I just threw it on the side. My girlfriend is really at home with the Berkeley co-op community, and she taught me that if you put stuff in a bowl and you crack an egg on top, that’s a meal.I had some chai tea with oat milk because I needed a pick-me-up. For years when I was on tour, I didn’t drink caffeine. I guess I was younger so I had more energy. When you first start to tour, it feels like a vacation. You’re traveling, you’re with your friends, and you’re at the party every night.
Then I was off to this place called Steve Maxwell. It’s like the shop in the city for vintage drums. And thankfully it was a six-block walk from there to the rehearsal space. I hate lugging drums, honestly. I walked past a whole line of cabs and the drivers kept trying to take me. I was like, I got it — only four more blocks.
The last thing I ate that night were some strawberries from my cousin. She moved to Coney Island, and they have some more room, so they have a garden. She came to my Mercury Lounge show and had brought a little container of tomatoes and strawberries that she grew. They were delicious and it’s such a nice thing when you get food from family, especially when it’s homegrown.I got a terrible night of sleep, probably only two or three hours.
