Ruff ruff ruff,
I don't update enough,
Especially when the going gets tough....
So I don't feel like rhyming today.
I gave the band my notice Last Thursday. I'll play out the rest of the shows we scheduled up until July 8 and then I'm going to take a break, get my bearings and start a new band. I don't know what the hell people mean when say new 'project.' I'm starting another band.
I'm not megalomaniacal enough to think that I can just go it alone either.
If I was that good I would be famous already. But I have something good and with other people who are good then I think we could really 'tear some shit up' if you don't mind the Port Tampa vernacular.
It's not like the beNUTS were a failure. We've toured Russia, Japan, all of Europe. We always stayed in the black and never needed a label to prop us up. For a niche band in a niche market we've done it all. But our songs (especially before I joined the band) were never good. They were better than most, but that's relative good, not absolute good. With everything we accomplished even with crap songs, just think of what we could have done if we'd have just worked a little harder on our songwriting. And there really isn't more time to put into that. We have other priorities.
It's a good feeling to work on music with other people and bring it all together.
So that's that. The last three years have been pretty good. But Man, It hurts to break up with a band.
It feels like breaking up with a woman.
