Work with Nine Inch Nails
Josh Eustis joined the 2013 NIN touring lineup after earlier programming, sound-design and remix connections to the project. He first covered bass in the festival configuration, then moved into a broader multi-instrumental role for Tension.
His electronic-production background and flexibility supported a large ensemble whose arrangements moved between guitars, keyboards, percussion, saxophone and backing vocals.
