Hivesmasher has parted ways with Jason Gibbs & seeks new musicians

After a great run, Hivesmasher and Jason have decided to part ways. It was an amicable split and there's no hard feelings being harbored by either party. We wish the best of luck both for Gibbs in his next musical endeavor and for the band he is now managing, Dopapod. (It's been fun man, you'll be missed!)

Additionally, Justin informed us all that his role in the band must change over the next few months. Since he got married, bought a condo, and is going to start law school in the fall, he will only be available to play local shows on a limited schedule. Said Steele of his new position, "I'm going to rock and roll forever, as the eternal albatross around the neck of Hivesmasher!" We decided as a group it was of primary importance to keep the core of the band together, and as such Justin will continue playing with us when he can and will remain an intregal part of the writing process.

This leaves us the need for two people to fill two distinct roles in this band--a full-time member, and a 'live member.' We'd definitely prefer guitar players for both of these roles, but if you're a fucking beast of a bassist, we should talk anyway.

For a full time guitarist, first and foremost we're looking for someone that will show up to everything. And we fucking mean every-fucking-thing. We're in this to make something of it, and if you aren't, don't waste our time or yours. Other than dedication, you must have the gear, have the chops to play the tunes, have the right to buy booze legally (or have a REALLY good fake) and have a good attitude. We would certainly welcome and accommodate creative input from a dedicated member, but this is not a major requirement as we've already got a good system worked out. We don't want a revolving door in this band, so if you're interested, be seriously interested in making this YOUR BAND for the long haul. This isn't about finding someone to come along for a ride for a little while, we want another equal member. That all being said, you'll be surrounded by people equally as dedicated and passionate as you.

For a live guitarist, we're a bit more flexible. Sometimes we'll need someone to come on the road for a weekend/week/longer, sometimes we'll just need help locally when Justin is too busy pretending to be a lawyer. We would highly prefer to find one person who has a schedule that would allow him to make damn near all of our shows, but if that is not possible we could make other arrangements on a case-by-case basis.

If you think you're the right fit for either of these scenarios, please drop us a line at hivesmasher@gmail.com with some mention of a new member in the subject line, or come find us at a show.

Please help us out by reposting this!

Yeah, we're bummed about it too. Nobody likes doing this, and we'll miss Gibbs for sure.

That being said--we're not letting this prevent us from playing any shows, and we'll be certain to be stronger than ever in the end.

no worries blue. i don't think you'd like us as people anymore if you had to spend more time with our stupid asses. you'd be too busy to have fun with any of the bands.

Tyler, would you possibly be willing to carpool up to wherever you guys
practice (Boston area, right?) if a certain guitarist made it past the try out
phase??.. ;) ;)

p.s. - i have my own transportation, it's just, owning a lil 2-door jap 4 banger has its spacial limitations... :-/
PLUS, i'd give you gas $ (and, no, NOT chump change).

In related news--Justin decided yesterday that he's going to have to step away from Hivesmasher to concentrate on being a lawyer, lifting weights, and having three cats. We'll certainly miss that roid-rage fuck.

Once again, we're not going to have to cancel/miss any shows. Stay tuned for more insanity.

is this real news? is justin really quits? Or is this another "we caught him doing HGH" moment?

if they caught him doin HGH, why would they kick him out? if anything they should keep him around so he can snap the necks of bad promoters and shitty bands

STEELE SMASH!!!!!

the Smash will be taking the majority of September off from shows to focus on finishing the album and preparing our new guitarists for their debut.

so he really did quit? Give me a straight answer damnit!

sorry, i must have missed this. if you still wanna do that send me an email. tylerkingsland@yahoo.com
we've already got a couple people that are semi ready to roll, but thus far, no one who's really seriously taking a big bite out of our grind sandwich.
