11th Band-Recruiting Rehearsal

Seems like the search for band members might never end. Having not exactly found a drummer who is both talented enough for our music and free enough to commit the necessary time to be a creative force in the band, we recently (well, two weeks ago) tried out yet another drummer (our 7th thus far, if I'm not mistaken). As it turns out, he's the bassist for another band in town I've written about, Rabbit, and although he had said he would recommend a drummer the first time I met him, it turned out that, despite being in two bands already, he himself wanted to try out for the position.

Now, the trick with Matt is that he's so hipster-like that he doesn't do cell phones, the internet, or answering machines on his landline, so it's REALLY hard to get a hold of him. We did manage to set up a single meeting with him thus far, and for the most part, he's perhaps the best fit for the band we've found (with the exception of a little tendency to rush due to not playing in a bit and the fact that he's really hard to get a hold of).

So, we'll see where this goes. I'm not going to assume this is going to work out until we get into a regular rehearsal schedule with him, but as far as everything else is concerned, I'm pretty happy with him as our drummer. We'll see how it pans out...
