I've had a few semi names apply for the drummer job?

I dont know?
maybe playing in pubs is what they call "a stocking filler"
needless to say I dont bother replying as they'll be here today gone tomorrow at the first half decent offer they get?
PS Kev

I'm auditioning a guy in Northwich [on my own]
could do with a bit of bass fill if yer free?

In my experience Kev, these people bum themselves up to extremely disillusioned levels?

# Posted by Bass-tard - 15/01/2010, 21:56 (GMT)

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 15/01/2010, 21:56 (GMT)

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 15/01/2010, 21:56 (GMT)

# Posted by Bass-tard - 15/01/2010, 21:58 (GMT)

I cant believe he's not in the band to be honest

# Posted by Duke Bocks - 15/01/2010, 21:58 (GMT)

He only learned one song!

# Posted by Bass-tard - 15/01/2010, 22:07 (GMT)

should have dropped your guitar stack on him

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 15/01/2010, 22:14 (GMT)
