Hey fellas.
I don't get on here too much lately for one reason or another (1 being to avoid serious GAS!), but I wanted to share a very recent disappointment.
My band hasn't rehearsed for a couple of months due to this and that (2 of us got married, holidays etc). In the meantime, the lead singer (who is also a good friend, as are all the band) and I had a pretty big disagreement. He really wasn't being himself and I said something which must have hit a nerve, cos he got real angry.
Anyways, I thought we'd put it behind us and were getting set to move onwards....I'd lined a room up for us for tomorrow and was really looking fwd to getting back to it.
I called him last night to remind him and........he's quit, so it's basically band over. Too much to go into here, but quotes include not digging our music (he wrote most of it), not wanting to be a front man in a rock band etc etc.
He also thought we should be working towards getting signed, whereas at least 2 of the rest of us just enjoyed it for what it was, no major aspirations y'know? Gigs every few weeks and recording for posterity in between.
I'm gutted. Really disappointed that something I love and really look forward to is over.
I'm also upset that he waited for me to call about the room before he said anything. I understand it was difficult to tell, but he could have got us together to talk it through, even if the end result was the same.....
Have a feeling our great lead guitarist will bale out now too, so I'm looking for either a new lead singer / songwriter or a new band for the drummer and myself.
