Whoa. It's been a while. A lot has changed. Alex moved into an apartment in LA and is currently working on various projects in the movie industry. Godspeed and goodluck.
To deal with our sudden drummer shortage, Dave and I took on Seamus to fill the spot. Seamus has served a valiant tour of duty with our comrades in arms, Leopold and Loeb, and now joins us with redoubled dedication.
Also new to the lineup is Julia, the subletter who replaced Alex in my apartment. She's German, unbearably cute, and the best part--she's a seasoned jazz trumpet player. We had our first practice with her last Saturday and the results put tears into all of our eyes. Even Seamus, who has less of an emotional connection to our songs, turned to look at me with an expression of shock when Julia piped up during the outro of Everyone On Her Side.
Unfortunately Julia will be spending time with family and friends back at home for a few weeks, and so she will miss our first gig: Re-Orientation. Mark your calendars for October 19th, in the Cloister Club of Ida Noyes (that's the ballroom). We're going on at 9, and we're opening for bigger Chicago band called Star. Look them up; I don't really care who they are, I just want to play a good show. We are going to sound good, and the professional stage crew manning the event certainly won't hurt. I'll announce the event on facebook, and I'm sure there will be audio tracks and photos to follow the gig. Keep your eyes open.
