Todd Trainer

Todd Trainer is the drummer for the band Shellac. He also makes and releases his own music under the name Brick Layer Cake, writing, playing and recording everything himself. He previously played drums for the bands Breaking Circus and Rifle Sport, and played drums with Scout Niblett in 2005. Trainer also manages a warehousing & shipping company. He owns an Italian greyhound named Uffizi and maintains close ties to his parents and sister Terri.

In 2006, Trainer sported one or more shiny, see-through blouses at Shellac live performances, as well as a pronounced, spiky mullet, allowing criticism from bandmate Steve Albini that Trainer was, in fact, "double bloused".

Todd Trainer resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
