Back when I was 18, I knew this guy named Dave who worked at Beth's Cafe up on Aurora. Dave told me about this band he and two other guys started, and they needed a bass player. I had recently been disincluded from my former band, so I was all into it. After shedding the other guitarist (John, who went on to play in a band called CRY [Christ Rocks You]), the remaining three of us formed the core of Six Day Affair. We played and played and played and did shows and hung out and did a CD, and then in 1999 imploded. Dave moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, and George (our drummer) did...well, I don't know exactly what George did. What I did over the last year + has been documented in this journal, so I'm not gonna tell you.
Fast forward to this last May. Dave has moved back, George went and got married, and the three of us were without bands. Today, we officially got the band back together.
But - you knew there was going to be a but, didn't cha? - We have opted not to continue as Six Day Affair. We have made some signifigant changes, and using that moniker would be a disservice to what our former band was. We have a new singer (Sean - who I just met today), and I've decided to play guitar instead of bass. This does mean that we need to find a bass player, or we can be all Sleater-Kinney/Blues Explosionist and just not have a bass player. But that sucks. When I first started playing bass, I refused to listen to bands that didn't have a bassist (the Doors excepted, and even they used a studio bass player on some recordings). So, yeah, we need a bassist who is at least as good as me, if not better :)
We haven't decided on a name yet. Right now the working name of the band is The Jalapeno Dickholes. (Don't ask.) None of us are too fond of that name though. That will likely change. But one thing hasn't changed - we WILL take over the world with our sonic goodness. Or something. As the resident Indie Rock Snob® in the band, I don't know how I feel about mass appeal, but whatever. We just wanna play some goddamn rock & roll.
