ROCK!!!!
I auditioned a drummer on Sunday night, and he is amazing. And apparently, a pretty famous guy. He has played with both Melissa Ethridge and Alanis Morrissette, among others. Apparently, he thinks that I am "the next big thing" which is why he wants to be in the band. He claims to have a lot of connections (including his best friend who works for Rolling Stone). I don't know if this is all talk, but he seems legit. I met him through my bass player because they apparently go way back and were in a band together several years ago. This guy also has a practice studio in Whittier which we can have for only $40 a month each, which is unheard of out here and it is a lock-out studio, so we can go down there any time of the night to play. We have practice tonight and then probably three or four times a week from now on. Everybody seems very serious about this and Vic's goal is to have us playing at the House of Blues by this summer. There is also a guy in the studio next to us who has a recording studio set up there and Vic says we will probably be able to just record the demo there.
I already have a gig set up for us on March 11, in audition to my final solo gig on February 25th.
The band will most likely be called Static 99, though Number X is another possibility.
Anyway, I just wanted to update everyone, and hopefully, we'll have something recorded soon that you can all listen to.
