the Red Chord official statement about their drummer(s)[views:28629][posts:5]______________________________________ [Jan 17,2006 2:54pm - the_reverend ""] http://www.theredchord.com/ 1/13. Just when you thought we'd keep the same five guys in our band for more than six months, think again. We have switched out drummers. We'll chock it all up to personal issues and irreconcilable differences... best of luck in future ventures... long and happy life... yadda yadda yadda. But, everything is going 100% on schedule. We're still doing all of our upcoming tour dates and we have some really big tours to announce in the near future. Our long time friend, Kevin Talley (ex-Chimaira, Misery Index) will be joining us on our upcoming tour with Throwdown. It's about time we finally jammed together and we're looking forward to seeing how it all goes. In the meantime, if you're a drummer and wish to try out, here's how: Video tape yourself performing the tracks Nihilist, Dreaming in Dog Years, Fixation on Plastics & Black Santa. We are looking for the songs to be played as close to exact as possible. The video must be taken in a way that both your hands and feet are visible. If you can't see both in the video, just run through the songs twice -- once with the camera pointed at your feet and once at your hands. We have a soft spot for drummers that beat the crap out of their kit, so if you're a tapper, drink your milk and man it up! Applicants must be willing to tour for upwards of 300 shows each year. You must also have a valid US passport, your own gear and a willingness to get to Mass & potentially relocate to the Mass/NH area if need be. If you have substance abuse problems, don't bother applying. If you have a rock star attitude, don't both applying. If you are looking to go on the road, be respectful and have a good time and you happen to have exceptional drum abilities, we want to meet you! Send video to: The Red Chord 23 Rand Street Revere, MA 02151 If we like what we see, WE will get a hold of YOU, so include all of your contact info including phone number & email. We're looking forward to seeing everyone in the upcoming months on our tour with Throwdown. See you soon. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 18,2006 12:25am - powerkok ""] hmmm I wonder if the 'be respectful' comment has to do with any direct issues in the past.....seems a bit out of place for a metal band to make that a requirement. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 26,2006 8:53pm - Professor ""] 'Be respectful' means a) don't shag our girlfriends, b) turn up to shows, c) don't become a drug fucked asshole and d) don't think your David Beckham. |
