Well, Joshua Sun is about ready to start playing again. Oh, wait, you don't know what i'm talking about. Well, I never really got along with our drummer, and after a while, nobody else did either. So, after many months of constant arguing, we decide to go ahead and fire him. And he wasn't a dumb person, so he knew what was coming to him. So, on the same night we were kicking him out, he told us he was quitting, bc he knew he was fired. But at that gig, we talked to the bass player for a band called Noizgate, and we were interested in having him join our band. So he comes over one day, and we hang out, and jam, so he joins, and he's our new bass player. That means that we have to put Jadon somewhere. We moved him to guitar. So we have four people in the band again....me, Jadon, Dean, and Brian, the new bass player. Dean was playing drums and singing at the same time, which he didn't like, and we really wanted a drummer. He finally gets tired of that, so he just plays all the drum parts that we have recorded for our demos, so all he has to do is sing. Well, we audition a few drummers, but to no avail. Then one day I get a call from some guy: "Hey, I heard Y'all were looking for a drummer." "Yea, we are?" "Well, I'm him."
So after i got off the phone with him, I told Dean about what he said after he got home from work. He had said he knew Brian. Well, we still auditioned a few drummers, then that drummer came over. Well, he was pretty good, and we liked him and his personality, so we asked him to join the band. And of course he did, bc he really likes our music. I remember that first day, he had said, "When y'all told me that y'all play radio friendly music, that kinda turned me off to wanting to play for y'all, but i really like y'alls stuff....It's actually good music. I can see the talent that ya'll have." Now we have our current, and hopefully final line up for Joshua Sun. It is Dean- Vocals, Krazy K(me)- Lead guitar, backing vocals, Jadon G- rhythm guitar, Brian- Bass guitar, and Ron- Drums. So we started practicing and we scheduled a gig for March 16th, so we would have something to shoot for. And I personally thought we would be struggling to get all the songs ready in time for that gig, but I was wrong. We got them down pretty quick and now we're learning extras so we can fill more time. One night after practice, we decided to go to Pascagoula, to a place called Magic Moments where they were having this benefit. So we were watching it, and somehow we managed to be able to play a few songs in between some of the bands. We played after M*TAC, using there stuff, while The Volatiles were getting their equipment inside. We played, "End of Days", "Bleed", "Flight to Nowhere", and one of our brand new songs, "Wrong Side of Time." It was cool. So now our next gig is at Thunder's Tavern in Pascagoula. That's on Market St. and we'll be opening up for Level With The Ground. Then i'm sure we'll have a few more after that, but the only other one scheduled right now, is a benefit for breast cancer, which will be held at Studio 90, on Sunday, April 14th, I believe. Now, since there are so many bands lined up for that benefit, they didn't have enough time to play all the bands on one stage, so I offered to do sound if they opened up a second stage. So, now we're doing sound for half of the local bands, and we get to choose our own time slot, bc we're running that stage, basically. I don't know how old you have to be to get into Studio 90 on that Sunday for the benefit, but I do know, that it's 18 and up for the Thunder's Tavern show. Well, I don't feel like typing anymore, bc I'm tired and ready to go to bed. So, later, until I decide to post again.
