Now that I've already lamented my band's inability to "hit the ground running" following my trip to Europe, I'm also sad to report that we've arrived at yet another hitch... After having a bit of difficulty working out rehearsal times with our present lineup, I had a talk with our drummer Erich about whether or not he thought he would be able to work the band into his (understandably) busy schedule (he's married, has a kid, and works at a really busy - and super cool - recording studio that has odd hours). Ultimately, I think he and I basically decided that if the band really wants to get off the ground soon, we're probably best finding an alternate drummer.
Bummer, but it's just how things work out when you're trying to mesh schedules with other busy adults. Anyway, Jeremy and my first point of business was to start brainstorming as to where we could find another drummer. The most obvious choice was our friend Grant who, despite not being an indie-type at all, is a pretty solid jazz and funk drummer. So, Tuesday night we took our gear over to Grant's for a jam session, but halfway through he informed us that he doesn't have time to commit to another band either...
So, two nights ago, Jeremy and I were out for some drinks, and we took it upon ourselves to start networking, asking around about drummers. We got a couple leads, but nothing too promising just yet. I'll keep you up to date...hopefully we'll have a full committed lineup by the end of the month.
