Think we're set. Auditioned four guys, none of who could play. Our new guy plays really well and we'll be able to share lead duties. He has good equipment, good attitude and good enthusiasm. We now have two guitarists, bassist and a drummer. Another positive is we all live within about ten miles from each other.
Yay!

Sky's the limit now, full steam ahead!

Glad to hear your band is ready to surf! What are you guys going to call yourselves?

That was quick! It's so great when you can find other players who actually can play and not just think it looks easy (which illusion is due to the fact that those who look relaxed have put in much effort already and have become good at it).

What a lot of guys don't realize is that surf music takes some stamina. Covering a lot of DD tunes demands it. We couldn't even find anyone who could palm mute correctly. Oh, and we're thinking about calling ourselves "First Wave".
