Recent Developments

Some of you may have heard over the past few days that Kid '77 has parted ways with drummer JJ Chamberlain. I wanted to take some time to post a little information here.

This is by no means a contentious break-up. I think the split stems from a difference of musical opinions: in recent weeks we felt as if JJ's passion for music lay not just in playing hand percussion, but in songwriting and playing guitar along more folk/americana lines.

As a band we will continue our friendship with JJ and we can do nothing but support and encourage his musical endeavors in the future.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and thanks for listening.

Neil.

Feeling Synced

I finally synced this blog with my band's webpage. (woohoo!) But it also means I should start updating this thing again.

So here's two pieces of micro fiction:

Mid-life Crisis

Gerald walked into the supermarket and picked out the greenest Granny Smith apple he could find. At the checkout stand, a pimply faced checker said, "You know, when apples have their bottoms all closed like this - You see? - they're WAY too ripe."

Uncle Jayden

Everyone always talked about how energetic Uncle Jayden was, but when I met him all I could think about was how tired he looked.

Until next time. Peace.
