Alex Rodriguez (born March 16, 1978) is the drummer for post-hardcore band Saosin. He was born in Miami, Florida to a Cuban immigrant father and Irish mother. He fell in the hardcore scene as a teen and hit the road at 17 with his band, Never Falling. The group relocated in Los Angeles in 1997 and soon broke up. Rodriguez stayed in the Orange County because of the hardcore scene, founding Open Hand three years later. Rodriguez left Open Hand to join Saosin in 2003. He was finishing work with them when he joined Saosin, so Beau Burchell had Pat McGrath hired for the Translating the Name EP. Rodriguez took over from there and the rest has been history.
