Drums and Thumbs
Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 11:32AM Hello folks!
Sadness filled the Werepire Day cup when we learned that Neal was moving. Lucky for us all, he worked on some new songs with me and went in to put them to tape before going. Those tracks will be part of the still-progressing next Werepire Day record.
Twin moons aligned, however, and our sadness morphed into excitement and panic; last week we held our first practice with new drummer, Ryan, who is joining our treasure trove of radical skinsmen. Ryan also plays in the punk band Nard Voris, and the metal/grind outfit We the Prey. Additionally, he just got back from a European tour drumming for Juicehead as they opened for the Misfits. So, a few practices in, and Ryan knows 9 songs, and tomorrow night (Friday the 13th) this version of Werepire Day is born into the world as we open for the Forecast at their record release show in Peoria! If you are free, please consider venturing out, as this will be a fantastic show filled with friends.
If you can't make it to that show, you will have a couple of other opportunities to see this version of Werepire Day as we are playing a couple of big shows over the next month (info in the Shows section).
Lastly, some video of Neal's last set with us at Township (formerly Panchos) in Chicago should be showing up soon!
Stay sweet,
Chris + Werepire Day
