August 2009 - Regroup & Welcome

Aftermath regrouped last night at our 3rd rehearsal space in as many months. The summer has been busy with Vinnie C. joining Nixons spirit for a few show dates as well as bringing Chris Capadozzy along with him in this project.

Vinnie C. left Nixons Spirit to continue working out the thought to be demise of Aftermath. However, Skeptics be warned, the new aftermath line-up not only breeds chemistry but the guys are hungry. Working through the regular track listing, adding a few covers to break up the workload, as we’ll as dabbling in some new riffs, aftermath is poised to kick some ass.

Trace Hilt ex bass player of Junkhead has joined forces once again with vinnie c. and will be taking on the bass work for aftermath. Yesterday was the first rehearsal with trace and it seemed like he was in the band the whole time.

Chris Willette of Son of Mourning graced us with hi guitar sty lings last night and trucked through each track like he wrote the song from the beginning. Throwing out some sludgy riffs for the rest of the band to accompany him was a great stat to getting all of the blood flowing in the band.

The two newest members of the band along with Tommy Tucker and Vinnie C. are finally geared up and ready to go.  More updates on the band will be posted here so keep checking back!!!

Sstop by and leave a comment and welcome both Trace and Chris to the band!

Auditions, Auditions, Auditions

This past Tuesday the band got together to start auditioning drummers. For the sake of things we’ll keep the names classified for now. One drummer made it out to the studio for an audition. It’s hard to really express the drummers techniques and skills at this point in the game because we have more auditions to come. So, for now, we’ll leave these things up to the imagination . . . sorry.

Vinnie, Pat, Chris and the auditioning drummer went through some of the standard Aftermath tunes such as Sleeping Through September, Ode & Perfectly Miserable.

During the audition, the band also touched base on the developing demo from last Tuesday’s rehearsal session. We’ll leave this week’s blog at that. More auditions next Tuesday. Keep checking back.
